My husband and I are thinking if we should just combine our baby's baptism and first birthday celebration. Do you think that will be fine?

hi moms! the answers here are true! If you belong in a very traditional Catholic family coupled with cultural beliefs then I think baptism as soon as birth will definitely be it. Just like what happened to me. (Grandmother- serves at the Church and Mom said that we should do it right away to keep her protected from the "bad" spirits that may corrupt her, if you know what I mean😁) So what I did was this, since I gave birth on the month of November I planned my daughter's baptism on the nearest occassion that we should prepare for a feast and on my case that was January coz of our town fiesta. So if youre really aiming for being practical but you are conflicted with other stuff such as tradition then this might work for you as it worked for me.😘
