When some of the babies are born in the in the dry season this is also the time of the birth of the dragonfly which hums and buzzes around the air excited about the birth of the new season.

The grandmothers catch the dragonfly to test the babies hearing, making him buzz near the baby's ear. When the baby responds we know they have good hearing. If not, the old ladies bring the dragonfly closer so the baby can feel the vibration and the sound of his wings then she sings to the spirits and the dragonfly, "We all must look after this child together to help him grow and be able to communicate".

So if you see a dragonfly buzzing around a baby, he is just looking and checking his response because that's what he does and in the past everyone worked together dragonflies, grandmothers and the spirits.
