Baby Showers:

A baby shower is a party in which expectant parents receive gifts for their expected child. Among Americans, there is great variance in practices and themes of baby showers. It is a popular tradition in the United States and in other cultures influenced by American culture or media.

Beginning in the 1970s if permitted by the mother and if asked politely, "tummy-rubbing" is now a baby shower event. The men usually give the daddy-to-be diapers only because the mommy-to-be is getting other items at the shower. Baby showers are increasingly popular in Africa, Asia and Latin America, but are "women-only" social gatherings.

Here are some potential baby shower exercises:

- Guess the baby food flavor: guests have to taste-test several flavors of baby food and try to identify them.

- Guess the birth date or guess the sex.

- Guess the expectant mother's girth: guests cut pieces of ribbon, yarn, or toilet paper to a length they believe matches the mother-to-be's tummy circumference.

Toys/Gift ideas and Toy info:

Play-Doh, Silly Putty and other hands-on materials allow the child to make toys of their own. Modern toys are often mass-produced and sold in stores. Toys and play in general are an important part of the process of learning about the world and growing up.

Toys enhance cognitive behavior and stimulate creativity. Children, especially very small ones, often put toys into their mouths, so the materials used to make a toy are regulated to prevent poisoning. Toy soldiers, perhaps a precursor to modern action figures, have been a popular toy for centuries.

countries, it has been looked down upon for males to play with toys that were originally stereotyped as being "for girls. After birth, the umbilical cord is normally cut, leaving a 1-2 inch stub. A baby's social presence is different from that of adults, and they may be the focus of attention.

Every baby cries, but who cry for more than three hours a day, three to four days a week, may have colic. Gentle rocking back and forth often calms a crying infant, as do massages and warm baths.
