One of the manifestations of the deep devotion the companions had for the Prophet was that when a child was born in the family, they brought it to him so that he might bless it, and apply on its palate, the pulp of a date etc. The date (or honey) should be chewed to make it easier for the baby to swallow. This is called tahnik and it is a sunnah (the prophet’s example).

Narrates Aishah (wife of the prophet, may Allah bless her): People used to bring their newborn children to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he would bless them and perform the tahnik ceremony.
It was reported that Abu Musa said: “I had a baby boy, and I brought him to the Prophet (sallaAllahu ‘alaihi wa sallam). He named him Ibraaheem, did Tahnik with some dates and prayed for Allah to bless him, then he gave him back to me.” – (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5150; Muslim, 2145)

Tahnik is a sunnah and it should be done at the 7th, 14th or 21st days of the child’s life.
