Champagne is a great gift normally, but not so fantastic if the mother is breastfeeding! I would steer clear of champagne as a gift for new parents and instead do a combination of something for the new baby, something for younger siblings to keep them occupied (stickers? colouring?) and a pampering present for the new mum (hand-cream, shower gel etc!)

Oh yes, a fab present. I was bought a bottle of Mumm champagne by DH. I was in hospital for a week, and when I came home the first thing I had was my evening tea of runny egg sandwich and a glass of champagne to celebrate the coming home of our dearest first born!

Probably not the best present to give someone who is breast-feeding. Said mummy will enjoy one small glass and then jealously look on as her partner and gift giver polish off the rest of the bottle. However, not a bad gift if it is kept until the breast feeding ends.

I celebrated each birth with gifted Champagne; by the third it was tradition!

You can never have too much, especially after a 9 month drought!
