Discuss what foods we know that a baby is given. 

Explain that another part of a Muslim baby’s birth rite is for them to be given something sweet to taste. It is called Tahneek, it is the baby’s very first taste! 

The baby’s oldest relative may chew a date and rub the juice along the baby’s gums or place a tiny piece of sugar or honey on the tongue. Many Muslims believe it helps the child to grow up kind and obedient.
