I think it says in the gemora that every child is born
וככרו בידו
ie that he brings his own parnossa.
Maybe you could try searching it, b/c I certainly don't have time!!

The Lubavitcher Rebbe said it, in the sichos about Pru urevu. It will have to wait till after Pesach to find the exact quote though.

Have you not seen it with your own children ... I could tell you stories ...

my first one ... we got a bill for hosp nursery ... I couldn't go back to work and H did not have job yet ... suddenly in comes a tax check in the exact amount that the bill was ...

2nd one - dh got raise just about when he was born...

3rd one - meshane makom ... meshane mazel ... I got pregnant the first time I went to the mikva after moving out-of-town ...

4th one - she is one big brocha ... the kid everyone dreams of having ...

I think it is in a gemara that every child is born with his own loaf of bread...I'll ask my husband if I can remember later, b/c I think he knows.

I know that source. It's in Gemara Nidda 31b. Actually, it's this Gemara that prompts my question!

Why?

Because this Gemara refers to a BOY. Regarding a girl, the same Gemara says she comes with nothing!

What does it mean that a zachar comes with "kikro b'yado" and a nekeiva "ein ima klum - nekeiva nekiya ba'a" -נקבה אין עמה כלום, נקבה נקייה באה?

Maharsha says that whereas a zachar comes with his own mazal, a nekeiva does not have her own mazal ("she comes empty") because her mazal is dependent on the zachar.

Also, what a boy earns is his, what a girl earns belongs to her father or husband.

None of this supports the idea that a baby comes with its bracha.

so that’s not really it, then. Dh says he’s also never heard of the saying.

In the sicha of Parshas Noach, Likuttei Sicos vol 25, page 36 2nd par.,1st column.

"Together with each child which is born, a new channel (tzinor) is opened for birchas Hashem, for hashpaah of food and sustenance, (also) for the newborn child, and in a manner of "with His goodness, with chen, chesed and with rachamim", from His full, open holy and expansive hand."

In the footnote *74, the Rebbe brings down RamBam hilchos Ishus ch. 14, halacha 16: even if a person has fulfilled the mitzvah of being fruitful and multiplying, it is still a Rabbinic mitzvah not to abstain from pru urevu as long as he has the ability, since every one who adds a soul in Israel is as though he built an (entire) world.

in footnote 8 on p. 37: family planning is discussed more at length in the following sichos - Shabbos Parshas Naso, alef shelach, Shabbos parshas Shelach, and Shabbos Parshas Korah, Taf Shin Mem. and others.

unfortunately, I don't have the sichos of Taf Shin mem. ( I have all the volumes after that....and many before..) Maybe can find it on www.otzar770.com

Hisvaaduyos 5743 sicha of 25 iyar to nshei Ubnos Chabad page 1481

Hisvaaduyos 5743 sicha of Shabbos Vayikra page 1163

Hisvaaduyos 5742 sicha of Chof Menachem Av page 2047

interesting point brought out in the last one:
Two can lift disproportionately more than the sum total of each one separately. (like when the meraglim carried the gigantic fruits, see Rashi) When each child is born, it is together with the parents drawing down more parnassa than the two separately, child and parent could, and in fact more than double than the two separately both could.

My search on otzar770.com brought up 79 results! that's not counting the sichos of taf shin mem, or mem alef which they haven't yet programmmed into the website.
