Salivation ceremony
This is an old Taiwanese tradition. When a baby turns 4 months, parents will prepare cookies and red string. The cookies, also known as Slobber Cookies, are made into a necklace and put it around the baby's neck. These cookies are used by family and friends to gently wipe the baby's lips as they giving well wishes to the baby. The cookies will then be shared by all attendees except the baby who is too small to eat.
