Becoming a parent is a happy thing, but the happiest thing is when welcoming your baby to the outside world in a healthy way.
Nothing can describe the feeling of dads and moms when seeing their babies for the very first time. There are few moments in life as moving as when moms give birth and meet their baby for the first time … but what about dads? It’s just as heart-melting. Dads lay eyes on their newborns for the first time and hold his baby in his arms for the first time.
