LDS Baby Blessing Age In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS Church) a baby blessing is a sacred and special occasion for family and friends to meet and give their special newborn a name, present them to family and friends, and most importantly, bless the child and their physical and spiritual well-being. This can be an opportunity for your child's family to present your special one in a baby blessing outfit , stressing the importance of this unique day. When should a child be blessed? There is no perfect time, but families tend to bless their child as early as 2 weeks old to as late as 4 months. The official church policy is that the baby has to be at least a week old. The blessing is a fulfillment of the commandment given by the Doctrine and Covenants the scripture of divine revelations and inspired declarations from the Lord to the founder of Mormonism and the Latter Day Saint Movement, Joseph Smith. Though the naming and blessing of the child are considered not essential to salvation, they are especially important for both the child and family’s comfort, guidance, and encouragement. This personal day gives the opportunity to present your special one to family and friends in a beautiful baby blessing outfit .
