Habib Umar recommends reading the following doa to infants each morning and evening:
أُعِيذُكَ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّةِ
I protect you by invoking the complete kalimāt (words) of Allāh
مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ وَهَامَّةٍ
from every devil and venomous creature
وَمِنْ كُلِّ عَيْنٍ لامَّةٍ
and from every evil eye
حَصَّنْتُكَ بِالْحَيِّ الْقَيّومِ
I fortify you by invoking Al-Hayy (The Ever Living) and Al-Qayyum (The Self Subsisting) by Whom all things subsist
الَّذِي لَا يَمُوت أَبَدًا
who never ever dies
وَدَفَعْتُ عَنْكَ السُّوء
and I avert from you evil
بِأَلْفِ أَلْفِ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ
by invoking a million “lā hawla wa la quwwata illa billāh al-‘Aliy al-‘Azhīm” (tr: there is no turning away (of harm) or power (to confront it) but by Allāh Most High, Most Great)”
Then read the following from the śalihūn (the pious people):
اَللهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا
O Allāh! Give us barakah
فِي أَزْوَاجِنا وَاَهلِنَا وَاَولَادِنَا
in our spouses, family, and children,
وَلا تَضُرُّهُم
and do not harm them,
وَوَفِِّقْنَا وَوَفِِّقْهُم لِطَاعَتِكَ
and direct us and them to the right course of obedience to You,
وَارْزُقْنَا بِرَّهُم
and give us portion of their benevolence.
And finally close with the following doa from the Quran:
رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ أَزْوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّاتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍ
Our Lord! Gift us from our spouses and offsprings coolness to our eyes
وَاجْعَلْنَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا
and make us imāms for the muttaqūn (the people of taqwa).
