Baby showers are a ritual to support parents in their transition to parenthood with a new baby. It is one way for friends and community to lend support to new parents. It's a party held to honor the mother-to-be and to gift her with mostly very practical items necessary for baby and new mother care. Many families rely on the gifts to help offset the cost of getting ready for a new child. Not all mothers wind up with a shower: it is not an inflexible dictate of our culture. However, somebody somewhere usually feels the desire to dive in and plan and host one for a family member, friend, or business associate. Most times the recipient is female and pregnant. How's that for a couple of snappy deductions?
So does the above statement imply "sometimes" a shower is given for a male who is obviously not pregnant? Yes. True. Although, if a child is on the way, he usually is intimately involved. Showers are given for adopted children too. And, nowadays showers are given not just for first born, but 2nd, 3rd, 4th born ad infinitum. Although showers most traditionally precede the birth that is not always the case either.
