It is a ritual to cement the continuity of superstitionism through the family structure. It is stupid, as there are no such things as gods.

Because we are not yet an independently human being during this period of 9 months. Our body is bounded at our mother's body and the 2 bodies function like a system. When our fetus body is complete, so that we can use our own digestive system for the nutrition, comes the moment of the birth when we naturally break the connection. In this moment is beginning our own life as an independent human body (but of course we are independent only from the body-perspective, otherwise we depend of other people in the point nutrition, care etc.).\nThis theory of calculating the age is guilty only for the natural birth.I don't know how it shows in other situations : the clones, for example.

The answer is to ensure that the baby is breathing.\n\nAs a father who waatched his son be delivered, that is one of the greatest sounds in the world - to hear the newborn cry of your child.

Because you two share a common bond - your baby.

Churches that Christen babies are essentially baptising them as babies in order to make sure they go to heaven. However this is not taught in the Bible. The Bible teaches that believers should be baptised not babies who have no say in the matter. As a pastor I will not baptize (christen) a baby. We do child dedications where the parents dedicate themselves to raising the child to know and follow Jesus Christ and dedicate the child to the plan God has for thier lives. \n\nNow as far as your mother in law is concerned. She cannot tell you what to do with your children even if she is helping you and your husband out by letting you live with them. Be civil and thank them for letting you live there. Make sure they know you love and respect them and then respectfully decline to do what they ask. But this is also your husbands decision and not just yours. That child is half his as well and he has just as much say in the decision as you do.\n\nFurther more if you and your husband do not agree on matters of faith you need to address that in you marriage or it will only cause further problems down the road. When two people are following Jesus Christ there is a unity in the home that is not easily broken. When couples are at odds with each other there is division in the home that is not healthy to you your husband or your children.

When your baby is old enough you can take him/her to the park. Libraries have certain days when they read books to little one's. If your baby goes to daycare you could strike up converasation with some of the other parents. Museums sometimes have things for little one's too. I would like to know what happened to all your friends you had before the baby?

Each child that is born is a blessing from God.. After you have children of your own you'll realize it for yourself.. \n\nThe joy that is experienced when a baby is brought into the world is an undescribable feeling.. Seeing the child develop and grow and experience the world with 'new eyes' is a powerful, awe-inspiring testament to the beauty that God has blessed us with.. When you have a child you can vicariously re-experience the same feelings you had when you were a child and see the world with innocence and joy..

Absolute happiness! Every new thing that a newborn baby does is amazing. Watching a baby grow has to be the most incredible adventure one can take. From the first sight of the baby at birth, to the first smile, the first giggle, the first word, the first step, etc. every moment is precious.\n\nSure, it's not easy. There are sleepless nights, diaper changes, bodily fluids all over you, and crying. But it really is all worth it when you get to hold that baby in your arms.\n\nAnd although things change, there are always more wonderful new things to experience with a child. Our son is almost 2 years old and we are still in awe at some of the things he does and says.

Born with a fallen human nature and tainted by original sin, children also have need of the new birth in Baptism to be freed from the power of darkness and brought into the realm of the freedom of the children of God, to which all men are called. The sheer gratuitousness of the grace of salvation is particularly manifest in infant Baptism. The Church and the parents would deny a child the priceless grace of becoming a child of God were they not to confer Baptism shortly after birth. \n\nChristian parents will recognize that this practice also accords with their role as nurturers of the life that God has entrusted to them.\n\nThe practice of infant Baptism is an immemorial tradition of the Church. There is explicit testimony to this practice from the second century on, and it is quite possible that, from the beginning of the apostolic preaching, when whole "households" received baptism, infants may also have been baptized.

It is pretty common in the US.  Nobody is sure just why it happens, but it is less likely if you breastfeed and if you have help with housework and care of older children so that you can care for your baby.  It still can happen, and it is more likely with women who have a history of depression.  It is much less common in non-Western societies, possibly because they have a better support system for new mothers.

Babies probably represent new beginnings, peacefulness, naivete, and so the people who came up with the statement originally was probably referring to the sense of being refreshed one gets upon awaking.

It's called baptism in some other religions.\n\nFrom what I've read- it seems that there are several christening services- including infant baptism.

We become "hard hearted" as we get older, tend to doubt more and more in the goodness of others, whereas children never hesitate to "leap" into their daddy's arms....always confident that He will catch them. THAT is what Jesus is talking about....putting cynicism aside long enough to try FAITH and allow Him to prove Himself trustworthy!

Parents have this odd belief that they have to be of one faith to raise their child. At some point the child will become an adult and will need to find their own spiritual foundation. They will make up their own mind.

Parents tend to be the last ones to believe bad things of their children.  They tend to turn a blind eye to certain things in order to perpetuate the image of the "perfect" little boy or girl that they raised.  It's not healthy and tends to hurt the children more in the long run.
