Baby Gift Ideas
Find out if the expectant mother plans to breastfeed. If so, nursing pads, pillows, and books are a great gift. If she plans to bottle feed, bottles, pacifiers, and formula work as great gifts.
Think of the expectant parents lifestyle. If they are constantly on the go or traveling give a diaper bag, baby carrier or other baby travel accessories. If they are frequently visiting family or friends consider buying a travel crib or play pen for the expectant parents.
Ask about how the baby's nursery is going to be decorated and buy decorations such as a mobile, lamp, or rug that will compliment the decor. This can make for a unique and personalized baby gift.
Buy a ba
by
swing or baby play center. These items give parents a few minutes to
relax while keeping the baby safe and entertained. Swings can be a
lifesaver to parents whose babies have trouble falling or staying asleep at
naptime or bedtime. They rhythmic motion of the swing lulls babies to
sleep in minutes.
A toy chest or other toy storage item is always a good idea. Many new parents do not realize how much storage they will need once the baby comes, so a place to keep all the toys is always welcome.
A baby blanket is another great gift. Baby blankets can provide warmth, shade, or even just comfortable place for a baby to play and are easy for parents to use at home or out of the house. It is also helpful to have blankets to bring to or leave at family or friend's houses that are frequently visited with the baby. Extra blankets will always come in handy.
Think of items the baby can use in the months to come, such as a growth chart, rocking horse, or baby books. All make great baby gifts.
