The Baby Shower Is An Important Tradition

Oh, wow! Someone is pregnant! Despite all the excitement and secrecy, friends of the mother -to-be will get in a huddle and arrange to have a baby shower. It is a useful tradition, especially for first time parents. Not only will the parents get much needed supplies for the infant, but the shower has other uses. A network of resource people for the new mom will be gathered there. They will soon make it clear that they are willing to be called upon for help. They will usually set up an informal plan at this time, ensuring that clothing and equipment will get passed down and around in the coming years. This recycling is common among today’s young parents.

The secret planning pays off and the mom- to- be walks into the ambush. There is fun and laughter as everyone explains his role in the clever deception. Some ice breaker games soon have everyone on a first name basis and the routines set down for baby showers are enacted.

Eventually the mom will be led to her place of honor. The friends are making the mom aware that they are concerned for her as she sets out on her journey. They share promises and advice as the evening wears on. The mom gets more confident with each new childrearing tip she receives.

A volunteer will sew the gift decorations onto a pie plate and insist that the new mom wear it. The gifts given by each participant will be duly recorded to ease the task of thanking people later for their generosity. However, underlying these routines is a more important vibe. It is the general feeling of support and helpfulness given off by the participants. The mom now knows that these folks will be available for consultation and consolation during those stressful early parenting months.

People who have had babies tend to give practical gifts. They know the importance of a never-ending supply of daily diapers. They understand that a wireless baby monitor can give a nervous new parent some peace of mind. They fill a baby bath with the down to earth essentials of baby care, like diaper rash cream and baby washcloths.

Young people usually do not know the finer details about what a new mom needs. Their gifts tend to be prettier but less practical. But these youngsters will fearlessly offer to push the stroller around the block twenty times while mom has a shower and a break. Their contributions will be as useful as anyone else’s.

The baby shower is an emotional catharsis for everyone involved. The mom learns that her friends will help her with her new baby. The friends have permission to share their excitement and joy with the mom. Everyone leaves a shower feeling on top of the world.
