New Baby Card Messages

New baby card messages: what to write

A new baby card is read by exhausted people, so the good ones are short and mention the parents as well as the baby. These messages do both.

Say something to the parents. Everyone writes to the baby; almost nobody checks in on the two people who haven't slept.
