Baby Showers:
By convention, a baby shower is intended to help parents get items that they need for their baby, such as baby clothes. Minority groups in the US, such as African Americans, and Native American groups also have baby showers but might include an emphasis on their cultural heritage, such as employing rituals from tribal-ancestral African and Native American traditions, respectively. Among Hindus in India, religious rituals resembling modern baby showers are held during the seventh month of pregnancy.
As well as gifts, another focus of a baby shower is to play games and party. There will often be things to eat and drink as well so it can become quite a social event. The men usually give the daddy-to-be diapers only because the mommy-to-be is getting other items at the shower. Among Americans, there is great variance in practices and themes of baby showers.
Here are some practical baby shower actions:
- Guess the birth date or guess the sex.
- Opening the gifts in front of the guests.
- A baby shower game that can be played is tying a string around her abdomen, and if it breaks for one person, it's expected she or he's the next new parent.
Toys/Gift ideas and Toy info:
Toys can aid in the development of physical and mental skills which are necessary in later life. Dolls are usually miniatures, but baby dolls may be of true size and weight. Children have not yet learnt to judge what is safe and what is dangerous, and parents do not always think of all available situations, so such warnings and regulations are important on toys.
There are many different types of puzzles, for example a maze is a type of tour puzzle. Children, especially very small ones, often put toys into their mouths, so the materials used to make a toy are regulated to prevent poisoning. In recent years many toys have become more complicated with flashing lights and sounds in an effort to appeal to children raised around television and the internet.

As infants age, and their appetites grow, many parents choose from a variety of commercial, ready-made baby foods to feed the child, while others adapt their usual meals for the dietary needs of their child.
The baby's temperament may make him or her highly sensitive to the environment, and he or she may react to normal stimulation or changes to the environment by crying. Babies cannot walk, although more mature infants may crawl or scoot; baby transport may be by perambulator (stroller or buggy), on the back or in front of an adult in a special carrier, cloth or cradle board, or simply by being carried in the arms.
