Classical view, not medical advice.
पुत्रा बहुविधा देवि लौकिका वै विचक्षणाः ॥
O Goddess, sons of many kinds are born in the world, clever ones. There is no doubt. Hear all of it, beloved.
प्रथमः पुण्यसंबन्धो मातृपितृप्रियः सदा ॥
The first is born of a bond of merit. He is always dear to his mother and father. He always serves father and mother with care.
आजन्ममरणाद्देवि पितुराज्ञां करोति च ॥
From birth to death, O Goddess, he obeys his father. When his father and mother die, he does shraddha (rite for the dead ancestors) every day.
