One month's

Isn't it always the usual practice that we have to celebrate our newborn's one month? Wonder why there was such a practice to begin with?

I heard from someone that it is because, long time ago, when technology wasn't so advance and health was an issue with babies back then, it was hard to past the first month. And when the baby did survive the first month, it was a time of celebration and rejoice.

Don't know how true this folk tale is but it does make sense considering the hygiene conditions back then. And as centuries past, this tradition has kept on being followed through.

However, for me, I don't think I am very big on one month's celebration for the baby because I think the baby would still be relatively small. I don't mind people seeing the baby, but I don't really like the fact of passing my little one from hands to hands. However, I remember when I went to my friend's one, if the baby was too fragile, out of courtesy, I too never offered to carried the little one. Most importantly, the parents must be comfortable. Sometimes I wonder if I would be overly protective. Haha...

Anyway, a friend of mine gave me the website to share with me to give out during the one month's celebration. I thought that would be lovely.
