New Baby Wishes
These are some quick and simple new baby wishes that are ideally suited for a card. If your card already has a pre written sentiment inside then these will work perfectly alongside that. If you want something longer or more expressive then try some of the other wishes further down.

• You're lucky parents but you have one lucky baby too!
Tip
Be mindful of the type of parent or parents you're sending your message /card to. If it's a single or teenage mother you'll want to avoid saying certain things. Also consider if the parents are heterosexual or LGBT as this will shape how you write your wishes.
For a Girl
If the new arrival is a baby girl you may want your message to include something about her. Try some of the touching and caring examples of new baby wishes for a girl below.
• Congratulations on the birth of your new baby girl!

Twins (or more!)

• The best things come in two's/three's/four's !
• Congratulations on your double bundle of joy!
• Triplets! You know what that means? Triple the mischief! But also triple the love. Congratulations

• What a wonderful, joyous occasion. I can't believe it's twins. You did know before, right?
• Congratulations abd welcome to the three musketeers!
Adoption
Adopting is a much different process but the outcome is the same – a child to be loved and treasured. That means your congratulations and wishes remain the same too.
• We're so proud and happy for you. You're going to be great parents and make a little girls life so much better
• Your dreams are finally coming true! Congratulations
• It's destiny that you would end up with your little boy. Wishing you so much happiness
• What a wonderful thing you're doing and what a fantastic outcome – a truly happy family
Tip
Try to keep away from mentioning any references to inherited traits or features e.g. “He's got his Dads eyes” or “her moms nose”. That would be extremely inappropriate and just factually wrong. With adoption being somewhat more sensitive just keep in mind how your message may be received or misinterpreted
Funny
If you know the new parents well and are familiar with their sense of humour then you may find it appropriate to send a funny message. Be warned though, make sure they're happy to receive something funny first! You don't wan to offend them during such a happy time.
• Baby is cute. Mommy is cute. Daddy is lucky…
• You could have bought a few Porsches or could have traveled the world for a couple of years. But you have chosen sleepless nights, Lego in the living room, parent-teacher conferences and puberty instead. From now on you will be parents – and we think you took the right decision, congrats!
• “Ah, I feel so rested and did not have to worry about anything at all today”. Said no mom ever!
• Keep calm and diaper on!
• You have been getting on your mom's nerves for nine months. Now it's daddy's turn!
• Parenting is the easiest thing in the world to have an opinion about, but the hardest thing in the world to do” – Matt Walsh
• I Heard your home is growing by 2 feet!
• Being a parent means, learning to sleep with a foot, or even two, in your face
Religious
If you feel it's appropriate then you can also send a religious message or wishes. Use the blessings of God to congratulate them on this wondrous event.
• God blessed your lives with your beautiful and healthy mew baby. Wishing you all the best.
• We can’t wait to see the many ways God blesses you with this little one
• Congratulations and God bless your family. Let me know if you need any help with your new little miracle.
• May you and your family be blessed and may the Lord bestow guidance and wisdom upon you in all of your future decisions. I wish you the patience to endure and overcome any challenges you may face. May your faith grow with your child!
• May the baby God has sent to you, to have, to hold and love, be guided by your gentle hands and blessed by him above. Congratulations
Tip
Whilst you may think sending a message with very overt religious tones is appropriate the recipient may not. If they're not particularly religious themselves, or atheists, they probably won't take kindly to it. So consider this when sending your wishes and be confident they'll be warmly received first.
Congratulations!
A new baby on the way is an exciting time, and there are many decisions and choices to make, including selecting a pediatrician.
Parents-to-be should consider selecting a pediatrician 2-3 months before baby is due. This is an important decision and you will want to allow yourself time to meet with the pediatricians in your area, see their offices, and have peace of mind with your selection well in advance of your baby’s arrival. Most pediatricians offer a prenatal visit for first-time parents to assist with your decision. Below are some sample questions and topics for discussion at a prenatal visit and interview.
After Baby Arrives - Hospital Exam
- What are your hospital affiliations?*
- How soon after the baby is born will he or she be examined?
*Please note: Your pediatrician does not have to be on staff at the hospital where you deliver.
- If they are on staff, the hospital will assign a pediatrician from your selected office for your baby's hospital exam.
- If they are not on staff, your baby's hospital exam can be done by another pediatrician from the hospital.
- You can schedule your baby’s in-office visits with any pediatrician you choose, even if you didn’t select a pediatrician in advance. You can still choose a new pediatrician for office visits after leaving the hospital.
- If you select PHCA, the hospital will automatically send your baby’s chart to our electronic records system.
After Baby Arrives - Office Visits
- When is my first visit in the office with my new baby?
- How often are visits needed?
About the Office
- How can the pediatrician can be reached?
- What are the office hours?
- Are there early morning, evening or weekend hours for working parents?
- How long does it take to get a routine appointment?
- How long is a typical visit?
- Is there always time for questions?
- Who covers for the pediatrician if he or she is not available?
About the Pediatrician
- How long have you been in practice?
- Why did you decide to become a pediatrician?
Urgent Needs and Illness
- When my child is sick, can I get an appointment the same day?
- Is it policy to have "telephone" hours or can we call with questions anytime?
- How are after-hours calls handled?
- Is there a pediatrician on-call 24 hours a day?
Specific Health Concerns
You may wish to discuss these health topics when selecting a pediatrician:
- Breast feeding
- Infant nutrition
- Circumcision
- Medications
- Immunizations
Things to Consider
There are other aspects to consider, which you can observe and ask about during your office visit:
- Is the office staff warm and friendly?
- Are there separate well and sick waiting rooms?
- Is the equipment modern?
- Are hallways and rooms clean?
- Is the office child-friendly, with cheerful examining rooms?
- Is the office convenient to your home or office?
- Is there adequate parking?
- Do they accept my insurance plan?
