Poems about babies are just as cute as the baby’s picture in an adorable picture frame. Put them together and you have the perfect baby gift. Give a keepsake baby poem gift to welcome a new baby or grandbaby into your or a friend’s family.

Give a Baby Poem Gift About the Baby

Are you looking for a special baby gift? Here is probably a less common baby gift idea. I don’t think it is too often that a poem about baby is given as a gift. Instead of giving just a baby frame, choose one poem from the many poems about babies to place inside.

The baby poem gift will be something the new mother-to-be will cherish and the child will too. It may even become a family heirloom. And, the cost is minimal!

  • Take one of the following poems about babies, copy and past into Word.
  • Change the font to one of your choice.
  • Double space the lines.
  • Print onto baby themed or pastel color card stock.
  • Place the poem in an attractive frame for the baby’s room (matching the color scheme if possible).
  • See the comment below suggesting adding handprints to a baby poem.

The following baby poems about babies celebrate the miracle and joy babies bring to everyone…

Poems About Babies #1

Tuesday’s Child

Monday’s child is fair of face,
Tuesday’s child is full of grace,
Wednesday’s child is full of woe,
Thursday’s child has far to go,
Friday’s child is loving and giving,
Saturday’s child works hard for a living,
But the child born on a Sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.

Poems About Babies #2

Two Little Feet

Two little feet, ten little toes,
Leave their impressions today.
Soon they will wear two little shoes,
And be running and jumping at play.
Two little feet, too little time,
Before they are walking to school,
Kicking a rock, or skipping a rope,
Wading a puddle or jumping a pool.
Two little feet, One little child,
Will soon go their own way,
But footprints in my mind recall,
They stood here yesterday.

Poems About Babies #3

Mother’s Heart

I loved you from the very start,
You stole my breath, embraced my heart.
Our life together has just begun
You’re part of me my little one.
As mother with child, each day I grew,
My mind was filled with thoughts of you.
I’d daydream of the things we’d share,
Like late-night bottles and Teddy bears.
Like first steps and skinned knees,
Like bedtime stories and ABC’s.
I thought of things you’d want to know,
Like how birds fly and flowers grow.
I thought of lessons I’d need to share,
Like standing tall and playing fair.
When I first saw your precious face,
I prayed your life be touched with grace.
I thanked the angels from above,
And promised you unending love.
Each night I lay you down to sleep,
I gently kiss your head and cheek.
I count your little fingers and toes;
I memorize your eyes and nose.
I linger at your nursery door,
Awed each day I love you more.
Through misty eyes, I dim the light,
I whisper, “I love you” every night.
I loved you from the very start,
You stole my breath, embraced my heart.
As mother and child our journeys begin,
My heart’s yours forever little one.

Poems About Babies #4

Priceless Little Parts

These little hands will grow to be,
big and strong and helpful, you see.
These teeny-tiny little toes,
will carry this body that grows and grows.
This precious, sweet and radiant smile,
will help me go the extra mile.
…..And seep inside, a soul and heart,
Destined to be special from the start.

Poems About Babies #5

A Baby Lives Here Now

In the corner of the spare room,
There’s a little cradle now:
And the day-to-day routine
Has gotten busier somehow.
There’s a bib among the napkins
And a talcumy perfume
Drifts around the little toys
That lie about the room.
The little teddy bear stands guard
With his round and rolly eyes
When all the house is still
But for the sounds of lullabies.
Yet even without all these things,
It’s still obvious somehow
From the happiness that fills the air
A baby lives here now

Poems About Babies #6

My Baby Brother

What will he look like
Will my brother have a button nose
Will he have tiny toes
Are his cheeks rosey red
I think he has a fragile head
My baby brother must have a wonderful grin
and creamy soft skin,
but does he have a chubby chin
Do his eyes wonder about
Will he pout or even shout
He should be in baby scouts
Are his eyes bright baby blue
cause I don’t have one bit a clue
When he poops does he go oops!
No one knows how he’ll act or look
He’ll always be number 1 in my baby book

Poems About Babies #7

A Baby is a Miracle

This little tiny baby
Was sent from God above
To fill our hearts with happiness
And touch our lives with love
He must have known
We’d give our all
And always do our best
To give our precious baby love
And be grateful and so blessed

Poems About Babies #8

These Are The Years

These are the years, the gentle years
the soft and sentimental years
when wee little fingers reach and touch
and little eyes gaze with wonder and trust,
when you love so tenderly and so much
these are the gentle years.

These are the years, the rainbow years
the quiet walk on tiptoe years,
the years of laughter and smiles and sighs
when both of you watch with misty eyes
the tiny bed where a cherub lies,
these are the rainbow years.

These are the years, the tender years,
the blissful, sweet-surrender years
when your little treasure from above
is the soul and purpose and center of
your plans and dreams and dearest love,
these are the tender years.

Poems About Babies #13

Someday I’ll jump through puddles,
Take a stroll or run a race.
Someday I’ll walk across the street,
Or maybe walk in space,
Someday I’ll scale a mountain,
Or I’ll join a ballet corps.
Someday I’ll walk a tightrope,
Or explore the ocean floor.
Someday these feet will do some things,
That only heaven knows,
But for today they’re happy
Just to wiggle all their toes.

Poems About Babies #14

She’s a little bit of sunshine
She’s a smile to light our days

Keep them with her warm endearing ways
She’s our precious little daughter
With a sweetness from above
Who will fill our years with laughter
And our lives with lots of love.

Your eyes might be green,
Your eyes might be blue,
My imagination runs wild
With images of you.
Your hands and your feet,
How small they must be,
When you’re placed in my arms,
Whose face will I see.
Whether a handsome boy,
Or a beautiful little girl,
We shall cherish the day,
You are brought into this world.
A small child so precious and sweet,
Has come into your lives
to make them complete.

Poems About Babies #29

It’s fun to hold and cuddle them
It’s fun to watch them grow
and to dress them up and show them off
To everyone you know
So it isn’t hard to understand
How happy you must be
With a darling little daughter
Added to your family!
Babies are for bouncing,
and for jouncing on your knee,
For charming you, disarming you,
and giggling with glee.
Babies are for kissing
and missing when you’re gone,
For walking with and talking with,
and putting booties on.
Babies are a pleasure
a treasure from above,
They’re to adore, but even more,
Babies are for love.

~ Author Unknown ~

Poems About Babies #30

Aren’t Babies Grand
They don’t have any teeth
And they don’t have much hair,
They can’t talk at all,
They can’t walk anywhere.
They sleep all day long
And stay up the whole night,
They yell every time
Things don’t suit them just right:
But with all the worry
They cause you , by heck,
They do make a home
(Yeah they make it a wreck)
And they make you so happy,
So proud and so glad
Isn’t it wonderful
Being mother and dad!

~ Author Unknown ~

Poems About Babies #31

Two little eyes,
One little nose

A dream come true…
Congratulations
To all of you!

Poems About Babies #32

These little feet have learned to walk,
And now they’ve learned to run…
These little feet just love to dance,
They climb and have some fun…
These little feet don’t want to rest,
They only want to play…
These little feet are busy feet,
They’re on the go all day…

Poems About Babies #34

My little hands play patty-cake
They peek-a-boo and wave…..
They catch me while I learn to walk,
And splash me as I bathe.
They hold your fingers tightly
And touch your heart so deep…
My little hands reach out to you
For hugs before I sleep…..
My little hands are tiny now continued
But yours will serve to guide me.

And when I’m grown I’ll still reach out
And know you’re right beside me.
