Having a child is not easy, you can ask any woman that, and let’s be fair to the dads here too, you have had to put up with a lot over the last 9 months, so you probably deserve a little break as well! Babies can be hard work, especially at the start when one cough or a sneeze can make your heart stop with fear that they might be unwell.
Often, new parents find that they are drained, unhappy, and simply not ready to smile. That is where we come in. Below are more than 100 super-funny and relatable baby one-liners and sayings that we think will have you laughing in no time.
Most times, parents think that they are the only ones dealing with particular baby issues, but in fact (and studies have shown this), when you realize that others are experiencing the same thing as you, it can take the sting away a little bit. Before we jump into the quotes, let’s take a quick look at some of the best ways that you can help put a smile back on your face after having a child:
1. Read the 100 hilarious quotes on this list – this one is a no-brainer; they are just too good and too relatable!
2. Get some exercise – even if you can’t do it by yourself, get your baby into a stroller or a wheelie pram, and get some fresh air. Exercising releases endorphins that can keep you in a good mood, and walking costs nothing, so it is a super-effective way of keeping yourself in a good mental space. It is even better if you can find a walking partner. Grab a coffee, have a chat, and enjoy a nice walk.
3. Keep your diet in check – eating healthy and maintaining a healthy lifestyle is crucial for maintaining a positive mind frame.
4. Don’t isolate yourself – this is so important because if you isolate yourself, then you have nobody to turn to or talk to when things get rough. Having someone there to vent to, or talk to about your issues can make life a lot easier for you when you are having a hard time.
With those helpful tips in mind, get ready to smile, because these baby quotes and sayings are just perfect:
