In Vietnam, celebrating a baby's one-month birthday is very important.

We have two ceremonies called thôi nôi and đầy tháng.

During these events, we introduce our newborn to the family and our ancestors.

It’s a way to honor them and seek their blessings.

We make offerings to the Twelve Heavenly Midwives, who are believed to watch over children.

The family comes together for a lively gathering, filled with delicious food and drinks.

Everyone gives red envelopes with money to the baby as a gift.

This milestone brings great relief and joy to us as parents.

It’s a beautiful celebration of life and family.
