Abraham-Hicks 1948
Channeller, speaker & author
Babies are thinking and attracting before they are speaking. Even though you are only months old in your physical body, you are a very old and wise Creator, focused in that baby’s body.
Abraham-Hicks 1948
Channeller, speaker & author
Babies come forth to remind adults what they have forgotten.
Children or babies learn to mimic the vibration of the adults who surround them long before they learn to mimic their words.
Abraham-Hicks 1948
Channeller, speaker & author
Even when you are in your mother’s womb you are picking up on her vibration because of how she feels in her life. And when you are born, as that little baby, you are born into an environment where people around you feel a certain way.
Give them a conscious understanding of how powerful and important and valuable and perfect they are.
Abraham-Hicks 1948
Channeller, speaker & author
Most people don’t think that new-born children could be the creator of their own reality, because they are not even talking yet. But, the Universe is not responding to your language anyway, the Universe is responding to your vibration.
The child is thinking and receiving vibrational thought from you on the day that he enters your environment. That is the reason that beliefs are transmitted so easily from parent to child.
Abraham-Hicks 1948
Channeller, speaker & author
They are Beings who want to feel joy, who want to live a joyous life experience, so when you hold that as your object of attention and you use that for your reason for alignment, then you are a powerful catalyst that influences that in their experience.
Wish for them to be joyful, wish for them to be happy, wish for them to be in alignment and let your every utterance be toward the end of being a catalyst to helping them connect to their own Inner Being.
Adele

A
baby is a precious gift sent from above to bring love, light and
laughter into our lives with every tiny breath.
James Matthew Barrie 1860-1937
Scottish author & playwright
When
the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a
thousand pieces and they all went skipping about, and that was the
beginning of fairies. And now when every new baby is born, it’s
first laugh becomes a fairy.
Polly
Berrien Berends 1939-2017

Most
of us would do more for our babies than we have ever been willing to
do for anyone, even ourselves.
The baby is as much an instrument of nourishment to us, as we are for him.

If
your baby is beautiful and perfect, never cries or fusses, sleeps on
schedule and burps on demand, an angel all the time… you’re the
Grandma.
Hope Bradford
When
the baby is born, all that pain that was endured vanishes in an
instant. Love for that tiny baby makes one forget the pain, the fear.
And as I’ve said before, love between mother and child is the
highest experience, the closest to Divine Love.
Rick Bragg 1959
American journalist & author
This
is a place where grandmothers hold babies on their laps under the
stars and whisper in their ears that the lights in the sky are holes
in the floor of heaven.
Pam
Brown 1948
Australian poet
Grandad
has a long and earnest conversation with his grandchild. He says,
“You are noisy and wiggly and will be sent back if you don’t pull
yourself together.” The baby smiles complacently. She has him
exactly where she wants him.
The baby rises to its feet, takes a step, is overcome with triumph and joy - and falls flat on its face. It is a pattern for all that is to come! But learn from the bewildered baby. Lurch to your feet again. You’ll make the sofa in the end.
Martin
Buber 1878-1965
Austrian-Israeli philosopher
Every
person born into the world represents something new, something that
never existed before, something original and unique.

I
love to think that the day you’re born, you’re given the world as
a birthday present.
Lorna
Byrne 1953
Irish author
All
babies are pure love.
Lorna
Byrne 1953
Irish author
Although a newborn baby is pure love, it is unable to radiate this love out; it hasn’t learnt this yet, just as it hasn’t learnt to walk. The love is inside it, but it doesn’t know how to give it out. When a mother (or someone else) reaches for the baby with love, the force of love from the mother draws the baby’s love out.
As newborn babies, we know we are perfect and deserving of love and feel pure love for ourselves and everyone around us.
Every newborn baby I see glows with love, a glow I see coming from the Soul.
Lorna
Byrne 1953
Irish author
The bonding with a new baby can help people to release love unconsciously.
Lorna
Byrne 1953
Irish author
The helplessness, vulnerability and perfection of a new baby frequently helps parents and grandparents to learn to love themselves and others.
We are all born pure love. As a baby in our mothers womb, we all love unconditionally. Everyone of us, regardless of whether we are wanted, or whether our mums have an easy pregnancy or labour, glow with pure love when we are born.
Deepak
Chopra 1946
Indian-American author
It
is the nature of babies to be in bliss.

Birth

all kind of these profound things crashing on you when your child

Wayne
Dyer 1940-2015

some time observing babies. They don’t work; they poop in their
pants, and they have no goals other than to expand, grow and explore
this amazing world. Be like that baby you once were, in terms of
being joyful.

babe by its mother

Shines
the peace of all being
Without
cloud, in its eyes;
And
the sum of the world
In
soft miniature lies

control and bring up their families as much as they are controlled by

When
babies look beyond you and giggle, maybe they’re seeing angels.
Diana Gabaldon 1952
American author
Babies
are soft. Anyone looking at them can see the tender, fragile skin and
know it for the rose-leaf softness that invites a finger’s touch.
But when you live with them and love them, you feel the softness going inward, the round-cheeked flesh wobbly as custard, the boneless splay of tiny hands. Their joints are melted rubber, and even when you kiss them hard, in the passion of loving their existence, your lips sink down and seem never to find bone. Holding them against you, they melt and mold, as though they might at any moment flow back into your body.
But from the very start, there is that small streak of steel within each child. That thing that says ‘I am,’ and forms the core of personality.
In the second year, the bone hardens and the child stands upright, skull wide and solid, a helmet protecting the softness within. And ‘I am’ grows, too. Looking at them, you can almost see it, sturdy as heartwood, glowing through the translucent flesh.
The bones of the face emerge at six, and the soul within is fixed at seven. The process of encapsulation goes on, to reach its peak in the glossy shell of adolescence, when all softness then is hidden under the nacreous layers of the multiple new personalities that teenagers try on to guard themselves.
In the next years, the hardening spreads from the centre, as one finds and fixes the facets of the soul, until ‘I am’ is set, delicate and detailed as an insect in amber.
Vincent
van Gogh 1853-1890
Dutch artist
If
one feels the need of something grand, something infinite, something
that makes one feel aware of God, one need not go far to find it. I
thing that I see something deeper, more infinite, more eternal than
the ocean in the expression of the eyes of a little baby when it
wakes in the morning and coos or laughs because it sees the sun
shining on it’s cradle.
Trina
Graves 1961
English spiritual poet
All babies come into our world with so much love and wisdom to share,
They're pure Spirits aligned with Source, and can teach us how to be Aware.

Now is the only time we have, to show pure Love, or core intent.
quote from poem: The Timing Of Your Death Is Always Chosen By You
From
you my child I would learn so much, about unconditional Love,
You
came into my life to teach me, as an Angel sent from up above
quote from poem: Before We Were Born
Letter
From Your Newborn
Dear
Mummy and Daddy,
No
matter what happens between us, during my childhood I will love you
unconditionally.
You
are my guide, my support, my lifetime anchor… for
whatever becomes of me depends on our time together.
From
you I will learn what love is.
I
will learn to be confident or shy, giving or selfish, loving or
cruel.
I will learn what is right and wrong, who I should respect and whether I should love and respect myself.
As I come into this world, into your tender care, I am a pure, clean sponge. I will soak up every look, every touch, every thought, every word, every feeling and they will mould me into the person that I will become.
So in the days, weeks, months and years ahead – please remember that – every thought, feeling, word, touch, and look… I will absorb.
If you treat me with love, caring, respect, tolerance, forgiveness and understanding – even when I do things wrong – then I will grow up into a kind, considerate, confident, loving, responsible, happy child and adult.
But
if you treat me with intolerance, uncaring, harshness, words of anger
and neglect –
I will be… sad.
Trina
Graves 1961

Taking an active role - feeding, changing and cuddling,
Fully supporting a newborn Soul, opens the Heart to truly sing.

English spiritual poet
Those Moments I Treasure
With
each new day as I awoke
Like
a spark I’d
remember you were here
A
smile would warm my face and Heart
Those
moments I treasure, so clear
I
counted the weeks as they passed by
Your
presence I felt growing strong
My
Joy and excitement thinking of you
Those
moments I treasure, my life long
You
wriggled and kicked more powerfully each month
My
body stretching as it nurtured your growth
Blossoming
too was my complete devotion to you
Those
moments I treasure, Unconditional Love my oath
Then
the moment arrived for us to meet face-to-face
Time
stood still with a tangible sense of awe
The
miracle of pregnancy and birth is a blessing in life
Those
moments I treasure, forever more
Now
the years have passed, and you are grown
But
my memory of pure Bliss can still bring a tear
When
you were first placed in my arms
That
moment I treasure, most dear
You
are: my Joy, my Precious, my Beloved, my Life
I’ve
Loved you Unconditionally right from the start
Though
life separates us, our Love continues and unites
Our
moments I treasure, Eternally you are part of my Heart
God Bless you: Julie, Kevin & Emmaline

birth,
United, as One, we can be, Compassionate to ALL our Earth

The
Baby’s
Help
Lips
of laughter, eyes of light
Do
you know your mission here?
Sent
to make the old world bright
Sent
us grown-up folks to cheer
Little
can you understand
Playing
in the sunlight there
Lips
of laughter, that you make
My
cross easier to bear
Golden
hair and rosy cheek
Just
a tiny little mite
Little
can you guess the part
You
are playing in my fight
Little
do you know the help
You
are giving me each day
Keeping
faith and hope alive
Helping
me along the way
Chubby
hand and tippy-toe
Little
do you ever dream
How
you keep your daddy up
Aiding
him, when it must seem
He
must fail and quit the fight
But
his strength returns anew
And
he plunges in once more
Just
because he thinks of you

Be
worthy of thy heav’nly
birth
For

Thy
brothers help, thy God revere

Feet
A
baby’s feet,
like sea-shells pink
Might
tempt, should Heaven see meet
An
Angel’s lips to
kiss, we think
A
baby’s feet
Like
rose-hued sea-flowers toward the heat
They
stretch and wink
Their
ten soft buds that part and meet
No
flower-bells that expand and shrink
Gleam
half so heavenly sweet
As
shine on life’s
untrodden brink
A
baby’s feet

Our
birth is but a sleep and a forgetting
The
Soul that rises with us, our life’s star
Hath
had elsewhere its setting
And
cometh from afar
Not
in entire forgetfulness
And
not in utter nakedness
But
trailing clouds of glory do we come
From
God, who is our home
Heaven
lies about us in our infancy
