Newborn gifts for baby and Mum

[TheActualQueen]

What were your most appreciated gifts?

Cook vouchers, a cook meal dropped off and left without the visitor wanting to come in, a fruit basket, deliveroo voucher, a friend had a McDonald’s and a coffee delivered one morning after a bad night…can you sense a pattern 😂

I bought myself some really nice shower gel and moisturiser and a nice hand soap for guests to use that felt luxurious. I’d have liked those as gifts from other people.
I was also given Some pjs, eye patches, vouchers so I could buy some clothes once dc grew out of the ones that fit. A voucher to buy myself a new bra that actually fit my post pregnancy boobs.

if it’s a first baby they’ll probably have bought or be excited to buy most things or they’ll have an opinion on what they want, and mum can be a bit forgotten in all the excitement of a new baby which can be hard and a shock. I think always best to assume mum had baby sorted, so how can you support mum

Unperfumed handcream, my hands were awful in the first couple of months.

Clothes - 6-9 /9-12 months soft jogging bottoms/dungerees with poppers, bodies, T-shirts and a cardigan. By then they were out of the sleepsuits but you still want something easy to get on and off and layer.

A really large hooded towel or a hodded towelling poncho, the latter is great when you go swimming.
