Belated baby shower gift

[s11o]

Hello, I am planning on organising a belated spa day for my friend after her second baby is born. Just wondering should I plan it for a few months after the baby is born as I’m worried about organising it too soon and mum won’t be up for it. I have no kids myself. What is a reasonable timeframe?

Usually you can’t take babies to spas and if she’s breastfeeding it might be up to a year before she can have a whole day away. And even if she bottle feeds everyone is different as to when they feel ready to leave the baby. I just don’t think it’s a very good/practical gift if the intention is to use it after baby arrives so I would do something else. Group lunch in a family friendly restaurant where she could bring baby instead maybe?
