It is nothing but superstition. As a Muslim, such superstitions should be avoided. Because it does not prevent the evil eye. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) taught what to do to protect a child from evil eye. Hadith , the Prophet (peace be upon him) Hasan and Husain. For this, after reciting this prayer, he used to seek refuge in Allah . Meaning: I am giving you shelter from the full words of Allah from all devils , insects and neglect. (If the prayer is recited for one child, it should be called 'Uiyuka' , for two it should be called 'Uiyukuma' and if it is more than two, it should be called 'Uiyukuma'.) (Bukhari: 3361) According to the hadith , Gabriel (peace be upon him) used to shake the Prophet (peace be upon him) with this prayer. باسم الله أرقيك من كل شيء يؤذيك من شر كل ال أو عين حاسد الله يشفيك باسم الله أرقيك "I am thorns in the name of Allah, to be things that hurt you and heal Allah from the evil of every creature, Donate. I am blowing you in the name of Allah. ” (Muslim , Chapter: Kitabus Salam) Besides, Ayatul Kursi , Tin Kul and other prayers of Hadith can also be applied in this case.
