Do you celebrate when your baby turns 1 month old?

my baby's 1st month celebration - My husband and I invited just some of our close relatives. It was a very simple celebration.

My baby is already 1 month and 11 days. We celebrated last December 4 (1 month from his birthday). It was a very simple celebration. We just had noodles, cake and bread. They say that celebrating the 1st month of your baby will make your baby healthier. Well it is one of Filipino beliefs. How about you, do you celebrate your baby's 1st month?

I don't know whether that will make your baby healthier or not but I celebrated my baby birthday on monthly basis. We celebrate every time he is another month older and it was really fun to keep track om his progresses in life. In two days time, my son would be turning 20 months old and that would be another celebration. As he gets older, every celebration is making him happier and happier as he understands more when he is older and I am sure that he would be enjoying this 20 month celebration more than the previous one. We are doing it out of fun and not due to any beliefs and therefore, we can celebrate it in any way that we like. Cheers!

Well, that is just a belief. I bet your child is your first since you are really putting effort to celebrate his birthday monthly. Well, my husband and I are planning to celebrate on his 6th month. Thanks for your response!

I haven't have kids yet but I am sure me and my wife will be celebrating the 1st month of our baby. Not only it is part of our Chinese culture, it is also a time for our relatives to give their blessing to the new born. Congratulations to you and your family and my blessings to your child. Happy MyLotting...

There is also a belief here in the Philippines that your relatives or family should give any amount of money to your baby during their first visit. They belief that it will make the baby far from being sick.

We didn't celebrate it "grandly" but of course we never forgot about it. Just a simple eating feast at home with the whole family.

Well, it does not really have to be grand. Just a simple get together will do.

Actually, it depends on you whether to celebrate it or not. I think one of the most important milestone in our baby's life is his 1st year birthday so there will be a big party, definitely.

Although our baby cannot enjoy the celebration yet, we really feel happy for his good health. Enough reason to celebrate!
