A baby's footprint is unique, it is the baby's first step from the mother's womb, representing the beginning of a new life. This small footprint witnesses the first moment of the baby's arrival in this world, and also symbolizes the love and care of parents for their children.
Footprints can also be a precious keepsake that parents can remember forever, and when their baby grows up, they can look back on a moment when they were so small but full of hope. A footprint can be a treasured object that can be taken out and touched at any time to reminisce about that unforgettable time.
