It's not an expression I recognise (it's not a set phrase like 'Happy Birthday'). It sounds like a new parent being happy about having a baby?

One of my friends used the expression meaning that he's happy about having a baby or something like that,

Hi,
What do native English new parents say when they welcome their babies?
Nothing, really, since babies do not understand what they hear. Whatever parents say, they say for their own benefit. I probably said things to my son like 'Hello, son, I'm your dad'. I forget.
Best wishes, Clive

My husband sang "Happy Birthday" to each of our daughters on the day of their birth. It's not common, though -- unfortunately, English lacks a standard greeting foro the newly born. "Welcome to the world" would be appropriate.

That's so sweet, Khoff!
I wish we did have something to say. I think it's much nicer than "Thank *** that's over."

My first 'welcome' was 'I suppose you haven't had a very nice day either',

Nona -- is that what your parents said to you, or what you said to your child? Either way, I love it! And somehow it sounds very British.
