100+ Newborn Baby Wishes for Singapore Families (English, Chinese, Malay and Tamil)

Friend just had a baby? Here are 100+ newborn wishes for Singapore families, in English, Chinese, Malay and Tamil, sorted by who you are and how you're sending them.

How Singaporeans send newborn wishes

• WhatsApp first. Most wishes go into a chat the day you hear the news. Keep it to one or two lines.
• Visits after confinement. Many families keep visitors away during the confinement month, so offer help instead of asking to visit.
• Mixed languages. A mixed English and Chinese, Malay or Tamil message is normal. Use the family's language if you know it.
• Office collections. Colleagues often pool money for one hamper and sign a group card.
