Besides the brit milah ceremony, pidyon haben/habat (redemption of the firstborn) or kidush peter rechem (sanctification of the womb's opening) or seder kidushat chaye hamishpacha, (ceremony of consecration to family life) is there a dedication ceremony for second children or for those following the first one’s? And are there other custums for introducing a child to or welcoming a child into a congregation?
