About Baby shower in brief
A baby shower is a party of gift-giving or a ceremony that has different names in different cultures. It celebrates the delivery or expected birth of a child or the transformation of a woman into a mother. Traditionally, baby showers are given only for the family’s first child, and only women are invited. In the US, if a baby shower does not happen before the arrival of the baby, a sip-and-see party or other similar event can be organized after the birth. Typical gifts related to babies include diapers, blankets, baby bottles, clothes, and toys.
It is common to open the gifts during the party; sometimes the host will make a game of opening gifts. The primary nature of these gifts is diapers andor diaper-related items. In Hungary, such an event is called Milking the baby’s head, when the father is blessed with breast milk for the newborn. There has been some controversy over these, with Judith Martin calling them a’monstrous imposition’ on the new parents. No similar custom exists for mothers to visit the baby shower on the last day of the father’s stay at home.
