What is akeeka in Islam?
Firstly: This sacrifice which is done for the newborn is called 'aqeeqah. The scholars differed concerning the ruling on 'aqeeqah; some of them said that it is obligatory and others said that it is Sunnah mu'akkadah (a confirmed Sunnah). The scholars of the Standing Committee said: 'Aqeeqah is Sunnah mu'akkadah. For a boy two sheep should be sacrificed, each of which should meet the same conditions as a sheep for udhiya (sacrifice), and for a girl one sheep should be sacrificed. The sheep should be slaughtered on the seventh day, but if there is a delay it may be slaughtered at any time, and there is no sin in delaying it, although it is preferable to do it as soon as possible. And Allaah is the Source of strength; may Allaah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and companions. Secondly: With regard to the purpose of the 'aqeeqah, it was mentioned in a hadeeth of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): "Every child is in pledge for his 'aqeeqah." The scholars differed as to the meaning of this hadeeth. It was said that the meaning is that if the 'aqeeqah is not done for him and he dies in childhood, he will be prevented from interceding for his parents; or that the 'aqeeqah is a means of ridding the child of the Shaytaan and protecting him from him. The child may miss out on something good if his parents neglect to do the 'aqeeqah even though that is not his action, just as when the parents have intercourse, if the father says 'Bismillaah" the Shaytaan will not harm his child, and if he fails to do so the child will not have this protection.
Why do people do the Aqeeqah ceremony?
The Aqeeqah ceremony is a traditional Islamic practice to celebrate the birth of a child and involves sacrificing an animal, typically a sheep or goat, and distributing the meat to family, friends, and the less fortunate as a way to thank God for the blessing of a new child and seek His protection for the newborn.

What happens in a birth ceremony in Islam?
There is no specific birth ceremony in Islam. Customs vary from country to country. All Muslims who can afford it give a party to celebrate the birth of a child. In preparation for this, they slaughter a sheep (if possible) give some of the meat to the poor, and serve the remainder to their guests. During the aqiqa, guests celebrate the birth of a new community member, and a few (usually close relatives) may offer gifts to the child or its mother.
Can qurbani and aqeeqah be given in a same animal?
1. The method of performing AQEEQAH is that for a boy two goats or two sheep and for a girl one goat or sheep is sacrificed or in cattle of Qurbani Sacrifice, two shares for the boy and one share for a girl is taken and hair of the head of the child are shaved. Silver equal to the weight of shaved hair is also given in charity (this is not compulsory). Reference: http://www.darsequran.com/taleem-eng/part-13.php 2. The method of aqeeqah is that if a boy is born, two goats or two sheep should be slaughtered. If a girl is born, one goat or one sheep should be slaughtered. Alternatively, if one wishes to take a share in a bull that is being slaughtered for qurbaani, then two shares should be taken for a boy and one share for a girl. Furthermore, the child's head should be shaved, the hair should be weighed, and gold or silver equal to the weight of the hair should be given in charity. If one wishes, saffron could be applied to the child's head. Reference: http://www.muslimkids.8m.net/QURBANI.htm
