Baby Showers:

In the past few decades, baby showers have become more common, as families become smaller and as each child receives more individual attention. "Pampers party" is also a mens-only shower, usually held the same night as the women's baby shower. It is common for the host to provide baby-themed games during the shower.

The ritual of the baby shower is a rite of passage or a form of hazing. Among Americans, there is great variance in practices and themes of baby showers. Even when a shower is held for only the first child, it is not uncommon for a parent to have more than one baby shower, such as one with friends and another with co-workers.

Here are some possible baby shower activities:

- Draw a picture. Give any todlers in the group a coloring pen and paper and see who can draw the best picture of the baby or the parents to be.

- Change the diaper but only using one hand, the fastest wins.

- Diaper throwing game, and the diapers have candies or chocolate stuff.

Toys/Gift ideas and Toy info:

The earliest and most primitive dolls were simple wooden carvings and bundles of grass. Dolls like Fulla and Barbie are often criticized for what they teach children about gender roles. The oldest and, perhaps most common construction toy is a set of simple wooden blocks, which are often painted in bright colors and given to babies and toddlers.

The oldest known mechanical puzzle comes from Greece and appeared in the 3rd century BC. Toy makers change and adapt their toys to meet the changing demands of children thereby gaining a larger share of the substantial market. Toys are more than simple amusement, and they and the way they are used profoundly influence most aspects of life.

Baby details and guidance

At birth, many regions of the newborn's skull have not yet been converted to bone, leaving "soft spots" known as fontanels. Newborn infants have unremarkable vision, being able to focus on objects only about 18 inches (45 cm) directly in front of their face. A baby's social presence is different from that of adults, and they may be the focus of attention.

Most industrialized countries have laws requiring infants to be placed in special seats when in motor vehicles. 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. A human infant less than a month old is a newborn infant or a neonate.
