Do babies need to wear red strings when going out during the Mid-July Festival in 2019?

It is recommended that you do not bring red strings when taking your baby out during the 15th day of July in 2019.
Although the red string can ward off evil spirits and drive away ghosts, relatively speaking, wearing a red string also makes you interact with the underworld. Wearing a red string on a regular basis can help drive away ghosts;
But if you wear it on Ghost Festival, it is like reminding ghosts to look for people in the dark night. The role of the red rope is the opposite, so you cannot wear a red rope on Ghost Festival.
People generally believe that the 15th day of the seventh lunar month is the actual day of the Ghost Festival, and the days before and after the actual day are the times when the yin energy is the heaviest. Babies under one year old have a weak magnetic field and are easily frightened. When frightened, babies often show symptoms of irritability and crying. Blood tests in the hospital show all kinds of normal, but the baby has a persistent low fever.
Therefore, if there is no necessary, it is best not to take your baby out on the Ghost Festival!
