 how early did you christen the baby 
I've got a lot of family out of town and my mom actually asked the other day about trying to do it while they're here post delivery which seems like it would be tremendously overwhelming, but I'm curious if anyone else did it soon after birth? and if so, how did it go?

 Re: how early did you christen the baby 
From what I  hear   people  wait  at least  3 to 4  months  before  christening the  baby.  I do  know that  years  ago  they  would  christen the  baby  ASAP cuz it  was  a  myth that  if you took the  baby out with  out  him/her  being  christened  that the  evil spirits would  get  to  his/her  soul   something like that  I know  my grandmother and  FH grandmother said these things to me

 Re: how early did you christen the baby 
Our daughter was about 3 1/2 to 4 months old and we waited that long because she was born prematurely and in the beginning we weren't allowed to bring her around anyone and she had to get stronger.

 Re: how early did you christen the baby 
Joseph & Maddie were both 3 months.  
  The both would've been at 2 months if I had my act together faster.

 Re: how early did you christen the baby 
Katherine was christened at 5 weeks (the day after we moved, no less!).  
  I didn't want to do it that early, but #1 my ILs decided to go to the Galapagos in November, my first choice, #2 my niece was born 3 days before my daughter and had to compete for a date there and #3 after November I didn't want to deal with the holidays and the potential for bad weather in the winter.
