new parent
First-time baby tender
A new parent is someone who has recently become a mother or father, typically of an infant or newly adopted child.
The term acknowledges the steep learning curve and exhaustion that accompany early parenthood: As new parents, we're surviving on four hours of sleep.
New parent often appears in contexts offering advice, products, or support for this transitional phase.
