What is a baby dedication?

A baby dedication is a religious or spiritual ceremony where parents commit to raising their child in accordance with their faith and values. It is often observed in Christian, Jewish, and other religious traditions. During a baby dedication, parents may make promises to raise their child with love, care, and instruction in their faith. Family and friends are usually invited to witness and participate in the ceremony, offering their support and prayers for the child and family. It is seen as a way to officially welcome the child into the community of believers and to ask for God's blessings and guidance in the child's life.
