Peutron Aneuk" and "Peucicap" are the traditions of Acehnese people who are part of the customary series to welcome the birth of children. This tradition is generally interpreted as a community habit of bringing the child to the ground first after the "peucicap" tradition.
Many traditions and customs are still maintained by the people of Aceh in general, like one of the customs done by my family a few days ago that is customary peutron aneuk. Peutron aneuk is customary to set baby's feet to the ground and introduce the baby for the first time to the general public. Before the baby is brought down to the ground, first this baby in "peucicap" by Tgk.Imum (people who are more in terms of religion).
Implementation of this tradition is usually given baby food and sweet fruits. The foods and fruits are milled so finely that they can be eaten by the baby, after Tgk.imum finished "peucicap" this baby, then baby put into the swing already in that ornamental. Then the baby's parents swung the baby while being accompanied by a reading of shalawat or marhaban and at the same time giving a name to this baby and then her hair shaved all, After all that was done then the baby was sent down to the ground.
In the implementation there are differences regarding the timing of implementation in Aceh society. Some carry out the custom of descending the Land on the 7th day after birth there are also those who hold the descending the Land ceremony on the 44th day (after birth).
During the procession of the decline of the child to set foot on the ground, a batik cloth stretched over the baby's head, then the coconut that has been prepared, halved on the cloth. The coconut that has been cut will be given to both his parents as a symbol and also the hope remains harmonious between the two. coconut cleavage above the baby's head is done so that the baby is not easily afraid with the sound of thunder or lightning.
After the main event is finished then the invitees, relatives and communities around the neighborhood to enjoy a variety of dishes menu that has been prepared to enliven the procession of child decline.
