Parenting comes with its fair share of challenges, but there’s something undeniably special about bringing a little one into the world. Nowadays, that first photo of your newborn might not be the one you’re rushing to post online. Out of respect for your mini-me, it’s probably not the best idea to make that their digital debut.

Remember the good old days? Before every pocket hid a high-definition camera, parents had the luxury of time – enough to give their newborn a bath before snapping that official birth announcement.

Fast forward to today, and parents are openly sharing those first baby pics alongside the polished announcement shots on TikTok. It’s a blend of hilarious and heartwarming moments that these kids will undoubtedly cherish when they’re older.
