My mother says having one spoon of clarified butter in warm milk will help in labour. as it lubricates the birth canal. will it really help?

Absolutely, not!: This is a old wife's tale but will only increase the fat content in your blood stream, but not facilitate labor. Remember, your mother's labor and obstetrical experiences are at least as old as you are and many things have changed. Listen to your OB MD and call them if you have questions. God bless our mother's, as that is how we all got here "on the planet".(smile)
