The answer

Speaking of blessings is required as a form of gratitude to Allah, unless it is done out of forbidden pride and arrogance, or if there is a fear of an envious person's envy, or a fear of hurting the feelings of one who is deprived. So, if harm is feared from speaking of a blessing, it is better to conceal it.
