Las expresiones fiesta de nacimiento y fiesta del bebé para aludir a la fiesta en la que se ofrecen regalos a los padres de un niño que está a punto de nacer o es recién nacido, son preferibles al anglicismo baby shower. [...] En español, tal como indica el Diccionario de la Real Academia Española, existe la palabra natalicio para referirse a las fiestas que se hacen el día del nacimiento, pero en la actualidad esta voz se refiere más específicamente a los cumpleaños, por lo que es preferible decir fiesta de nacimiento; no obstante, si se desea precisar que se celebra antes de la llegada del bebé, como ocurre normalmente, puede hablarse de fiesta prenatal. Alternativas de amplio uso en algunos países, y también válidas, son té de canastilla y fiesta de pañales. 1, record 3, Spanish, - t%C3%A9%20de%20canastilla
