Gifts for the New Mother
Great gift ideas to help her learn the ropes
Being a new mom is tough. Not only is she coping with a severe shortage of sleep, she's also trying to decipher the needs of a fussy newborn and figure out how all her childproof devices work. When you're looking for gift ideas for the new mom, don't forget that aside from all the baby gifts, she'll appreciate gifts for her too! A day at the spa with included babysitting service will help her recapture her sanity while taking a well-deserved break.
And keep in mind, new moms often get swamped with presents for newborns, but end up in a supply shortage when the baby is eight months old. These gifts for all stages of the baby's development will be welcome additions to any nursery.
Car seat - There are hundreds of car seats on the market, so how's a new mom to choose? We like this model because it offers added side-impact protection. The accompanying base makes it easy to move the seat from car to home without waking Baby. Britax's ingenious design lets Mom custom-fit this car seat to give Baby added protection.
Ben-Amun Charm Bracelet - If the new Mom in your life loves showing off pictures of her little one, this is the perfect gift for her! The delicate locket on this bracelet lets Mom keeps a picture of her bundle of joy close at all times while staying on the cutting edge of style. Sentimental moms will love this bracelet.
JJ Cole baby sling - These stylish and comfortable baby carriers are great gift ideas for new moms. The creative patterns and ergonomic design give Mom another comfortable way to carry baby. A carrier in a fun pattern makes a great baby gift that lets Mom express her individual style.
Patterned nursing gown - There's no reason a nursing mom can't still look stylish! We love the bright color and comfy material of this gown. If Mom wants to stay stunning, even while taking care of Baby, this is a great gift for her.
Sally Spicer diaper bags - Who says diaper bags can't be fashion accessories? These hip diaper bags come to Mom's rescue and make perfect baby shower gifts for fashionista moms. We like this design for its sleek styling, classic print and noticeable lack of cutesy bear and rattle patterns. This diaper bag has a number of pockets, bottle holders and a changing pad. What mom wouldn't want one?
BABYBJORN Carrier - One of the comfiest and most convenient ways to carry baby, BABYBJORN Carriers (better known as Snugglies) have been popular for decades. The creative design lets Baby face Mom as a newborn and face the world as an infant. We love that Snugglies are available in a variety of colors and patterns to suit Mom's taste. BABYBJORN Carriers are great baby shower gifts and are loved by moms everywhere.
When you're showering a new mom with gifts, don't forget that one of the best things you can offer is an hour or two of time off. New moms can be very hesitant about leaving their babies, but the sitting services of a trusted friend or family member are always welcome!
