This ceremony is performed inside and at the door of the house. The birth ceremony is carried out or led by one of the eldest or elders, but if in the family there is no elder or living abroad, the father can carry out this. In addition to the ceremony performed on the baby, when the baby is born, the placenta is planted, what needs to be considered when planting the placenta is where to plant it. If the child born is a boy, the coconut is planted on the right side at the exit (position facing out of the house). If the child is born a girl, the placenta is planted on the left.
