How do you bless a baby?

Answer 1

The best way to bless a small child is by teaching them spiritual values. Even if they can't read yet, you can read The Bible to them. Teach them to have a decent moral character, ethical values, proper social etiquette and politeness. Teach them everything that gives them a solid faith in God, Jesus Christ and the scriptures. Even if the child seems to have a short attention span, be patient. Even if you teach them little by little, be consistent. Just as it says in Deuteronomy 6:7 "and you must inculcate them in your sons and speak of them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the road and when you lie down and when you get up."

Answer 2

To bless a baby, you can hold them gently, say a prayer or blessing of good health, happiness, and protection, and make a sign of the cross on their forehead with holy water if it aligns with your faith tradition. It can be a meaningful and symbolic way to express your love and hopes for the baby's future.
