Finding the right words for a coworker’s new arrival can feel hard. You want to sound kind, not awkward. Below are 150 short baby messages for coworkers that you can copy and send in seconds.
The U.S. recorded about 3.6 million births in 2025, according to the CDC. That means many of us will cheer on a colleague’s bundle of joy at some point. A short, warm note goes a long way, because only 27 percent of U.S. civilian workers had access to paid family leave in March 2023, per the Bureau of Labor Statistics. New parents often feel the pressure early, so your kind words matter.
