There is a traditional practice of
strengthening babies with semen. This is common among the Bemba
tribes of Northern and Muchinga provinces of Zambia, including the
Tumbuka tribes of Eastern province of Zambia. The practice is also
common in Malawi and Tanzania.
Thing is, after a woman gives birth, she and her husband sleep in separate
beds until she is no longer bleeding. When the couple resumes sexual
relations, the man releases semen on the baby or on the mother’s hands
who then smears it on the baby’s body. Children are usually
approximately 3 to 4 months old when this ritual is performed. This is
supposed to strengthen the health of the child and has been confirmed to
me by the wise ones of the tribes in both Zambia and Malawi.
This ritual called the ‘child strengthening is performed like this; the
couple has sex while the wife is holding the child and he has to ejaculate
on the child. If the man fails to ejaculate, the child can get sick. Mind you,
this ritual can only be performed by the original father to the child. That
means every woman who has had a newly born child must offer the child
to its original father before she could engage in any sexual relations with
any other lover otherwise the child will be weak and prone to infection
which may led to its early death.
