Poems for a new baby boy

A little boy has come to stay,
A tiny hero, bright and true!
May he grow strong in every way,
His mum’s delight, his dad’s pride too!

A little champion has come
To fill your cosy home with cheer.
May love and joy and laughter hum
Around him every day and year!

Gift ideas for a new baby boy

Practical gifts are always welcome: clothes to grow into, a blanket, a sling, a baby monitor or a baby-store voucher. Mum will appreciate flowers and something to relax with. Give flowers at the hospital discharge or at home — blue or white hydrangeas, roses without a strong scent — and add a soft toy as the baby’s first friend.
