Welcoming a new life
People often celebrate the arrival of a new baby as they are a very special addition to the family,
Here are some reasons it's often very exciting to welcome a baby:
- It gives you someone new to love.
- It gives you someone new to play with.
- It makes you happy to meet someone new.
Different ways of celebrating a new life
- A card to celebrate the birth

- Pass things on which have been in the family for a long time
Families and friends celebrate new life in different ways. When this is repeated we call this a tradition:
- A Japanese tradition is for grandparents to cook for a whole month when a new baby is home.
- A British tradition is to buy a gift made of silver.
- A Czech tradition is buy colour nappies.
