From Wikipedia

The pidyon haben (Hebrew: פדיון הבן), or redemption of the first-born son, is a mitzvah in Judaism whereby a Jewish firstborn son is "redeemed" with money. "Redemption" is achieved by paying five silver coins to a Kohen, a descendant of the priestly family of Aaron, on behalf of the firstborn son. Alternatively, an object of equal value can be used. Pidyon haben is a relatively uncommon ceremony. Families do not perform it if the firstborn is a girl, born by caesarian section, preceded by a miscarriage (though some early miscarriages are not considered miscarriages), or if either grandfather is a Kohen or a Levite.
