About this title

From the Author

In Baby Blessings you will find insight, joy, and inspiration for those wonderful years from pregnancy through every stage of babyhood. You will find many prayers and poems that can be used at baby-naming ceremonies, christenings, or for family gatherings. I included lullabies for those tender moments spent alone with baby. (Some mothers and fathers have told me they began singing lullabies to their children before they were born.) I hope you enjoy this collection.

Our Wish for You
May you always see beauty in the world
And hear music every day.
May you know the touch of gentle hands
And walk the peaceful way.

May laughter see you through.
