  • I switched, and I would switch again if I ever did another blessing. I want to talk to the baby.
    Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

      Dude, the baby can't understand you.

It never felt natural to me to address HF and then stop talking to him. Others will feel more natural speaking the blessing to the baby. NBD either way.
            It is a two part process. A name and a blessing are separate acts rolled into one prayer. To give a name you address HF. To give a blessing you address the person receiving a blessing.

                I talk to HF the whole blessing because it feels right to me. And I'm in the church because I just do whatever feels good.

                • I switched because that’s what felt more natural. None of it matters anyway. It’s not a saving ordinance and blessing a kid to get married in the temple or to serve a mission is really weird, IMO. I didn’t outline my kids’ lives in their blessings. I just blessed them with various Christlike attributes.

                  "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                      I think you mean team non-switch.

                      There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

                        Yep, team switch for the win.

                        • Go back to around page 7 of this thread. So much repenting to do for so many. I started multiquoting but there were just too many, so I stopped. Tsk tsk. so many invalid baby blessings being offered by the CS brethren.

                              I don't remember if it was this or another, but I remember saying I switched and did so with approval of those present.

                                Meh. Still going to avoid the switch if I have another kid. And I feel that is consistent with what was said tonight (as is the switch).
