For Nursing or Feeding a Baby
God,
you are like a mother to us all,
nourishing all creatures with food and with blessing.
Strengthen my child with (my milk, this food)
and with the warmth of our nearness.

Alternative Prayer:
Blessed are you, Lord, God of all creation:
you nourish all your children.

(These "Feeding" prayers are taken from the, "Prayers for the Beginning of Life,"
National Conference of Catholic Bishops, 1989.)
