My sefardi friends make what I think is called a “zeved habat”, (someone help me here with the pronunciation). The last one I attended the grandfather of the baby girl said what I believe were several pizmonim, tefilos and made a bracha. I dont own an “Edut Hamizrach” siddur, but I was told the nusach of this ceremony is in the siddur. Sounds very much like the simchat bat described by the OP with the exception that at the one I attended the grandfather made a (the?) bracha, not the mother of the baby.
