One of the immediate requirements for the infant is usually a warm blanket and wraps. Although a mother would have thought of it, try to ask her if she will be fine with another set. If yes, then surprise her with a personal message and her favorite color. Swaddle blankets with Velcro taping are ideal for wrapping new born infants. If they are first time parents, try to give them baby gloves and crib shoes. A baby is likely to scratch and hurt itself unknowingly. This can prove to be an invaluable gift. Make sure that the fabric is soft cotton. Bright colored crib shoes protect the tender feet if the bay is born in winter months. A new born will be breast-fed often. Hence a semi-circular pillow is a useful gift. A mother is able to put the pillow on the lap and the bay can feed comfortably. It lasts till the time baby is on the bottle. It is not burdensome for the mother either. Baby burp towels are also given with the pillow. It is a very handy item in a home where a child has just been born.
Guests who have been parents themselves know the value of the laundry basket. So why not make one for the new mother. Fill it with stuff that she requires. Include napkins, diapers, wipes, feeding bottle, little toys, clothes and any else that is necessary for the initial upbringing of the baby. Wish the mom with all sweet little things like candies, candles, gourmet food items, and massage gels. She will appreciate a book pregnancy and bay keeping. Such CDs and DVDs also help her to learn about the baby and methods of its care.
Baby accessories are a must. One can never have enough like bottles, bibs, blankets, strollers, baby bags etc. Babies tend to get bored with the same kind of pacifiers try to include some entertaining ones. Stuffed toys are a perfect choice for babies. They are soft and do not hurt them. If it is an elephant or a sweet teddy bear babies simply love them.
