One of the important rituals when a firstborn child is one month old is the Pidyon ha-Ben. This is how the firstborn is redeemed in the eyes of God.

For girls, the father gives the infant a name on Shabbat when he is called up to the Torah-reading. A kiddush is then held at the synagogue. This is a celebratory meal after the prayer services to which everyone is invited. For boys, there is a shalom zachar; a celebratory meal in the home on Friday night. The boy is given a name a few days later, at his circumcision ceremony. In both cases, there is a lot of rejoicing, singing, and wishing of mazel tov.
