Aqeeqah on the 7th day:

Aqeeqah (sacrifice) is a noble Sunnah to remove harm from the baby.
Sayyidina Salman bin 'Amir (RA) reported that Allaah's Messenger (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) said: A 'qeeqah is prescribed for every child. Thus shed blood on his behalf; and remove the harmful thing from him. [Tirmidhi]
It is also from the noble Sunnah to sacrifice 2 animals for a boy and one animal for a girl on the 7th day with the intention of Aqeeqah.
Sayyidah 'Aa'ishah (RA )reported that Allah's Messenger (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) said: (The 'aqeeqah is) two [equivalent ] sheep for the male child, and one for the female. [There is no harm whether they be male or female animals.] [Ahmed]

Feasting and distributing Aqeeqah meat:

It is recommended for a person to feast and also share the meat with family, friends and loved ones and also distribute some of it to others.
Sayyidah 'Aa'ishah (RA) said concerning the meat of the 'aqeeqah: "It should be cut into pieces, then eaten and given to others." [Ibn Abi Shaybah ]
It was narrated that Sayyidina Ibn Seereen (RA)  and Sayyidina Hasan al-Basri (RA) said: "Among them the 'aqeeqah was dealt with like a sacrifice; some would be eaten and some given to others." [Ibn Abi Shaybah ]

Shaving the head on the 7th day:

Then it is from the Sunnah to shave the head of the child and it is preferred to start the shaving from the right hand side.
Sayyidina Samurah ibn Jundub narrated : The Prophet (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) said: A boy is in pledge for his Aqiqah, Sacrifice is made for him on the seventh day, his head is shaved and he is given name. [Abi Dawud]
Sayyidina Anas ibn Malik (RA) reported that Allah's Messenger (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) came to Mina; he went to the Jamra and threw pebbles at it, after which he went to his lodging in Mina, and sacrificed the animal. He then called for a barber and, turning his right side to him, let him shave him; after which he tiimed his left side. He then gave (these hair) to the people. [Muslim]


Aqueeqa (sacrifice) of an animal for a newly born child and the removal of the baby's hair
MAS'ALAH No 1: When a child is born, male or female, it should be given a name on the seventh day of birth. When the hair of the head of the baby is shaved, a sacrifice is also offered which is called AQUEEQA. By Aqueeqa all impurities of the child are removed and the child is saved from all calamities by Allah. 
MAS'ALAH No.2: The method of performing Aqueeqa is that for a male child , two goats or sheep and for a girl one goat or sheep is sacrificed. If an animal of seven shares (cow or camel) is used for Aqueeqa, then two shares will be taken for a male and one for a female. The hair of the head is then shaved. Silver, equal to the weight of the shaved hair is also given in charity. However, this is not compulsory. 
Mas'alah No.3: Aqueeqa is performed on the seventh day of the birth of a child. If not done on the seventh day, then, whenever it is done, it should be the seventh day, e.g. if the child was born on a Friday, then Aqueeqa should be performed on the following Thursday (the 7th day after birth). If it is not performed on this Thursday, then any other Thursday. 
MAS'ALAH No 4: That animal which is not permissible for Qurbani is also not permissible for Aqueeqa. Requirements for the animals of Qurbani and Aqueeqa are the same. 
MAS'ALAH No.5: It is permissible to distribute the meat of an animal of Aqueeqa raw or cooked, and can also be served to guests. 
MAS'ALAH No. 6: If one does not possess sufficient money, then it is permissible for such a person to sacrifice only one goat for a male child. There is no harm if Aqueeqa is not performed, provided one does not have the means for Aqueeqa. 
MAS'ALAH No.7: Before sacrificing the animal (for Aqueeqa), the following Du'aa may he recited:- 

"O Allah I sacrifice this animal in Thy name as a sadqa for my child in substitution. Blood for blood, flesh for flesh, bones for bones, skin for skin and hair for hair. O Allah accept this sacrifice for the protection of my CHILD from HELL."
If the aqeeqa is for a girl then in place of  say  and mention the name of the child boy or girl at this point 
Du'aa for slaughtering: Lay the throat of the animal towards the Qiblah and recite: 

"For me I have set my face, firmly and truly towards Him Who created the heavens and the earth And never shall I give partners to Allah. Verily my worship and my sacrifice, my living and my dying are for Allah. Lord of the worlds O Allah this sacrifice is from you and is for you."
While slaughtering the animal read: 
 
"In the name of Allah, Allah is the greatest."
