Izalelwe ngemuva kwezinsuku ezingama-63 zokumitha, imidlwane ivela emgodini olunywe bese idliwe yinja yenja. ^[3] Izingane ziqala ukuncela ngokushesha. Uma udoti udlula imidlwane eyisithupha, ikakhulukazi uma kunamamaki eyodwa noma amaningi asobala, ukungenelela komuntu ekondleni imidlwane enamandla kuyadingeka ukuqinisekisa ukuthi abagijimayo bathola ukondliwa okufanele nokunakwa okuvela kumama. Njengoba zifinyelela inyanga eyodwa yobudala, imidlwane kancane kancane ilunyulwa bese iqala ukudla ukudla okuqinile. Umama angahle akhiphe ukudla okugaywe ngokwengxenye noma akuyeke kudle okuqinile. ^[4] Umama uvama ukwenqaba ngalesi sikhathi, yize kwesinye isikhathi angavumela ukuba anikeze induduzo.

Imidlwane ayikwazi ukubona kanye nezinja ezindala. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izindlebe zezimveku zihlala zivalwe kuze kube cishe ezinsukwini eziyishumi nantathu kuya kweziyishumi nesikhombisa emva kokuzalwa, emva kwalokho ziphendule ngokwengeziwe emisindo.
