History of Baby Showers
|
 |
|
|
Although the custom of
helping expectant parents plan for a new baby has been a tradition for
centuries, the origin of the modern baby shower is unknown. There is
evidence that ancient cultures, such as the Egyptians and the Romans, often
bestowed small gifts upon newborn children, or presented the parents with a
hand-made gift after the child was born.
However, baby showers as we know them today were not common until after
World
War II - possibly one of the first manifestations of the baby boom.
Baby showers have always served several purposes. They allow friends and
family to share the joy and excitement of welcoming a new life into the
world, and they provide emotional support to new parents. It is not uncommon
for an expectant mother or father to be nervous about their new role as a
parent.
A friendly word of advice from a friend or family member can be extremely
helpful, and the presence of everyone who attends the shower is a supportive
gesture that many appreciate.
