The Imams from the Ahlulbait (peace be upon them) do urge the Muslims to named their baby boys and girls with the following names :- (Abdurrahman and its type having 'Abdul, Mohammad, Ahmad, Al-hassan, Al-Hussein, Jaafar, Talib and Fatima)[^5]. They did not encourage giving the following names :- (Al-Hakeem, Hakeem, Khalid, Malik and Haarith)[^6]. The good names protect the child from mockery and ridicules from others, so that it doesn't cause him to feel deficiency especially in an ugly name.
Aqeeq i.e. slaughtering of a sheep to mark the occasion and barbing the hair of the baby as it came from the sayings of Imam Jaafar Assadiq (peace be upon him) is among the birth day ceremonies, he (peace be upon him) said: "Slaughter on his behalf, barb his hair the seventh day and gives Alms (sadaqah) of its equivalent in silver"[^7]. The offering which is the substantial of Alms giving (Sadaqah) prevent the child from problems and save him from risks.
May be it has positive effect on the child by the time he grows up and understand how the parents show their concern during his birthday. It is a good remembrance for those that received the offering or part of it as (Sadaqah) Alms giving. Circumcision is among the birthday ceremonies. Imam Jaafar Assadiq (peace be upon him) said : "Circumcised your children on the seventh day after birth as it is more pure and quicker for growth of flesh"[^8]. SECONDLY: CONCENTRATION ON BREAST FEEDING.
In the first month of the child's life, milk is the basic and only source the child feeds on, so the breast feeding is the best milk because breast feeding has its emotional effect on the child. The mother is in the best position to grant him sympathy and warmed emotion because of the mother's instinct inducement which Allah has given to the women, where as the child's feelings and sensation centered on the early days breast feeding[^9].
Through breast feeding the bond of love between the child and the mother will be more firm, then the child's tense will be little and having rest of mind and blissful condition[^10]. Narrations and advices came from the Ahlulbait (peace be upon them) emphasizing the concentration on the mother's milk. The commander of the faithful Ali bn Abitalib (peace be upon him) said: "There is no any milk having greater blessing in breast feeding the child other than that of his mother's own"[^11].
