Supplications for the newborn
بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكَ فِي الْمَوْهُوبِ لَكَ، وَشَكَرْتَ الْوَاهِبَ، وَبَلَغَ أَشُدَّهُ، وَرُزِقْتَ بِرَّهُ
Barakallahu laka fil-mawhubi lak, wa shakarta-l-wahib, wa balagha ashuddahu, wa ruziqta birrah.

The parent's response to the one congratulating him for the birth of his child.
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُعِيذُهُ بِكَ وَذُرِّيَّتَهُ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
Allahumma inni u'idhuhu bika wa dhurriyyatahu minash-shaytanir-rajim.
O Allah, I seek Your protection for him and his offspring from Satan the accursed.
Virtue
The Prophet ﷺ used to perform tahnik (rubbing the palate of the newborn with a chewed date) and would make this supplication of protection. It is also recommended to call the adhan in the right ear of the newborn.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ، اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ وَإِلَيْكَ، عَقِيقَةُ فُلَانٍ
Bismillah, Allahumma laka wa ilayk, 'aqiqatu fulan.
In the name of Allah, O Allah, this is from You and for You. This is the 'aqiqah of so-and-so.
Virtue
Supplication pronounced during the 'aqiqah sacrifice for the newborn, which takes place on the seventh day after birth. Two sheep are sacrificed for a boy and one sheep for a girl.
