Hey guys, my baby was born full term about a week ago. But was contemplating whether should I celebrate full moon / 100 days or both? Any of you skipped full moon celebration and went straight to 100 days celebration? Understand full moon is a more significant celebration among chinese tradition but was thinking baby still very small during full moon.

Please share your experience.

if u have money, do both. nothing wrong with that right.

we do things according to our capabilities.

dont die die wanna do things to show off even though we dont have money.

We did the 100 days party only. Mostly because I wasn’t feeling up to it due to my csec wound, the breastfeeding struggles, sleepless nights and looking like crap 😂 and yes we thought baby was too young at 30 days.
It also gave us more time to book a restaurant find cake etc etc etc

For the full moon, we bought the full moon package from sweetest moments and gave out to relatives and close friends/ colleagues

Eldest : We did not do either as I had a lot of work that I could not afford to drop and didn't want to leave the wife alone.

30 days, reality of it?? Wife did not want to do anything as she had a c-sec delivery and she wasn't in the mood to be among people. It so happened her 30th day was also on a day that I had a 5d/4n trip to Penang so I packed both of them up and brought them along. While I worked and did presentations mummy and baby had a gala time at the hotel. When we arrived at the hotel, we ordered room service and 2 slices of cake.

100 days, still mostly the same, she wasn't in the mood and I had to be away for work. A week before she was being pressured by her aunts to have that 100day and also to shave our baby's head. She told them the daddy won't allow shaving the head and in the end she said she will follow me on a business trip to Phuket. She had a blast of a time everyday went for massage.

Our 2nd :

30 days : Never happened because she was very tired and unlike the 1st she had an "oversupply" issue that made her breasts ache. She wasn't interested in hosting a party and instead told me to bring everyone out of town.

100 days : Her mother organized it and insisted on hosting it. We just let them and after it was over we just paid them how much it cost. We showed up for 90 minutes then left as baby didn't cope well among the crowds and could not sleep in that environment.

Thanks for sharing your experiences.

we didnt do any big celebration till now, he almost 3 yo currently.

we just go out for a special meal and a slice of cake for him to enjoy and some selfies between wife, son and me....

maybe my situation makes it difficult for us to have a big celebration cause i work in a small town away from home.

Both i didnt do.
