However, she acknowledged that she was unsure whether the practice was scientifically proven.Sarah also said that she is exposing her ba to friends’ and neighbours’ dogs because she hopes this will prevent him from developing allergies to pets later in life.Another part of her routine involves what she described as “grounding” her ba in the garden. “Letting ba’s bare feet touch natural surfaces like stone, grass, or dirt supports their neurological and physical development,” she wrote.(Also Read:
