New Baby Sayings
New baby sayings are a lovely way to remind expectant and new parents just how precious their baby is, or will become to them; they are also be a sweet way to prepare them for the joys and challenges that lie in the weeks, months and years ahead.
Here are some new baby sayings that would make lovely messages for guests to leave in a baby shower guestbook, written on baby shower invitations or birth cards, inscribed on gifts or simply recited at a baby shower:
Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.
Elizabeth Stone
A little child born yesterday
A thing on mother's milk and kisses fed.
Homer
Having a baby is like falling in love again, both with your husband and your child.
Tina Brown
A babe in the house is a well-spring of pleasure, a messenger of peace and love, a resting place for innocence on earth, a link between angels and men.
Martin Fraquhar Tupper
The moment a child is born,
the mother is also born.
She never existed before.
The woman existed, but the mother, never.
A mother is something absolutely new.
Rajneesh
Child rearing myth #1: Labor ends when the baby is born.
Author Unknown
I think, at a child's birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift would be curiosity.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Every child born into the world is a new thought of God, an ever-fresh and radiant possibility.
Kate Douglas Wiggin
If one feels the need of something grand, something infinite, something that makes one feel aware of God, one need not go far to find it. I think that I see something deeper, more infinite, more eternal than the ocean in the expression of the eyes of a little baby when it wakes in the morning and coos or laughs because it sees the sun shining on its cradle.
Vincent van Gogh
It sometimes happens, even in the best of families, that a baby is born. This is not necessarily cause for alarm. The important thing is to keep your wits about you and borrow some money.
Elinor Goulding Smith
Getting a burp out of your little thing is probably the greatest satisfaction I've come across. It's truly one of life's most satisfying moments.
Brad Pitt
It is not a slight thing when those so fresh from God love us.
Charles Dickens
Father asked us, "What was God's noblest work?" Anna said, "Men", but I said "Babies". Men are often bad, but babies never are.
Louisa May Alcott
A baby is born with a need to be loved - and never outgrows it.
Frank A. Clark
Ten tiny little fingers that always want to play,
That never stop exploring the wonder of today.
Ten tiny little fingers that from the very start,
Will reach out for tomorrow yet always hold your heart.
Author Unknown
A baby is an inestimable blessing and bother.
Mark Twain
A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller, home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for.
Author Unknown
Loving a baby is a circular business, a kind of feedback loop. The more you give the more you get and the more you get the more you feel like giving.
Penelope Leach
Having a baby changes the way you view your in-laws. I love it when they come to visit now. They can hold the baby and I can go out.
Matthew Broderick
Ten fingers,
Ten toes
She's laughter and teardrops
So small and brand new
And amazingly angelic
She's sent to bless you
She's one special Baby
The best of life's treasure
And will grant and bless you
Many hours of great pleasure.

Children reinvent your world for you.
Susan Sarandon
People who say they sleep like a baby usually don't have one.
Leo J. Burke
What good mothers and fathers instinctively feel like doing for their babies is usually best after all.
Benjamin Spock
A baby is God's opinion that the world should go on.
Carl Sandburg
Babies are bits of stardust, blown from the hand of God.
Barretto
If nature had arranged that husbands and wives should have children alternatively, there would never be more than three in a family.
Lawrence Housman
Diaper backward spells repaid. Think about it.
Marshall McLuhan
Take a sprinkling of fairy dust,
An angel's single feather,
Also a dash of love and care,
Then mix them both together.
Add a sentiment or two,
A thoughtful wish or line,
A touch of stardust, a sunshine ray...
It's a recipe, for a Baby Girl truly fine.
Author Unknown
When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies. And now when every new baby is born its first laugh becomes a fairy. So there ought to be.
James Matthew Barrie
A baby has a special way of adding joy in every single day.

I can't think why mothers love them. All babies do is leak at both ends.
Douglas Feaver
Don't forget that compared to a grownup person every baby is a genius.
May Sarton
A little girl can be sweeter (and badder) oftener than anyone else in the world. She can jitter around, and stomp, and make funny noises that frazzle your nerves, yet just when you open your mouth she stands there demure with that special look in her eyes. A girl is Innocence playing in the mud, Beauty standing on its head, and Motherhood dragging a doll by the foot.
Alan Marshall Beck
A baby is an inestimable blessing and bother.
Mark Twain
They are babies in waiting, life on ice.
Claudia Wallis
(On sperm cells frozen for preservation.)
I believe that each personality is complete at conception and comes in the soul of every child.
Taylor Hartman
Getting down on all fours and imitating a rhinoceros stops babies from crying. (Put an empty cigarette pack on your nose for a horn and make loud "snort" noises.) I don't know why parents don't do this more often. Usually it makes the kid laugh. Sometimes it sends him into shock. Either way it quiets him down. If you're a parent, acting like a rhino has another advantage. Keep it up until the kid is a teenager and he definitely won't have his friends hanging around your house all the time.
P. J. O'Rourke
A new baby is like the beginning of all things-wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities.
Eda J. Le Shan
Every child begins the world again.
Henry David Thoreau
Babies touch the world with love.
Author Unknown
Adam and Eve had many advantages, but the principal one was that they escaped teething.
Mark Twain
It would seem that something which means poverty, disorder and violence every single day should be avoided entirely, but the desire to beget children is a natural urge.
Phyllis Diller
Every baby needs a lap.
Henry Robin
It is the nature of babies to be in bliss.
Deepak Chopra
Babies haven't any hair;
Old men's heads are just as bare;
Between the cradle and the grave
Lie a haircut and a shave
Samuel Hoffenstein
Babies need social interactions with loving adults who talk with them, listen to their babblings, name objects for them, and give them opportunities to explore their worlds.
Sandra Scarr
Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other.
Ed Howe
Babies don't need a vacation but I still see them at the beach. I'll go over to them and say, "What are you doing here, you've never worked a day in your life!"
Stephen Wright
This Baby is Your Blessing,
I wish Happiness in every way,
Good Luck God Bless, I say
And Many Blessings and Wishes,
To Welcome Baby Into Your Life Today.

Babies are a link between angels and man.
Author Unknown
There is a ''sanctity'' involved with bringing a child into this world: it is better than bombing one out of it.
James Baldwin
Babies control and bring up their families as much as they are controlled by them; in fact ... the family brings up baby by being brought up by him.

When they placed you in my arms, you slipped into my heart.
