A baby sprinkle is a casual and smaller-scale version of a baby shower. It is typically held for parents who are expecting their second, third, or subsequent child, and who may not need as many baby supplies as they did for their first child. Unlike a traditional baby shower, a baby sprinkle is usually more low-key and intimate, and focuses on surrounding the seasoned parents with warmth and love. Guests may still bring gifts, but they are typically in smaller amounts than with a traditional shower. Some other types of baby showers include:
- Diaper shower: A small-scale baby shower, generally for subsequent children, when the parents dont need as many baby supplies.
- Grandma's shower: A shower at which people bring items for the grandparents to keep at their house, such as a collapsible crib and a changing pad.
- Wetting the baby's head: A tradition in the United Kingdom where the father celebrates the birth by having a few drinks and getting drunk with a group of friends.
