Preparing for motherhood can be a wonderful experience. The excitement of what life will be like, what the child will look like, and whether the child will be a boy or a girl; these are all thoughts that swirl in the thought process of new moms to be.

For those of us that are parents, we know things are difficult at times and have a desire to help new moms and dads assimilate baby into his or her new life.

As friends and family, we want to help as much as possible. One way that friends and family often celebrate the expectancy and the reality of the miracle of childbirth is through the buying of gifts. Gift giving is a bit easier today than in times past as most baby stores have gift registries. Through these registries the mother to be can choose what she wants and needs in order to have things perfect when baby arrives. Even with baby registries, though, choosing the perfect gift is not always easy. If you find yourself undecided in regards to what gift to give a new mother, I would encourage you to ask yourself this question, “is it practical?” If it is not practical don’t buy it.

In this article I will outline some simple yet practical gifts all new parents would love to have even if they won’t admit it.

Diapers

Gift Ideas for New Moms Guide: DiapersAll first time moms will have one thing in common once baby is home from the hospital and that is diapers. As silly or dull as it may seem to give a gift of diapers, this is the number one need for parents with newborns. With a minimum of 7 to 10 diaper changes daily, you cannot go wrong if you show up with some diapers.

Diaper Bag

Gift Ideas for New Moms Guide: Diaper bag

I know, this might not seem like a big deal, but have you seen these diaper bags? The choices are limitless and you can find a diaper bag for any lifestyle at a different prices take your pick!

Baby Monitor

Gift Ideas for New Moms Guide: Baby MonitorI believe every new mother should have is a baby monitor, especially if the house is big and the baby’s room is not exactly close to mom and dads. Often a mother will want to choose a special baby monitor that has a built in LCD. Be sure the monitor is able to detect a change in breathing or sudden changes in baby’s position; this will reduce mom’s worry and help her relax while taking some time for herself.

Baby Blanket

Gift Ideas for New Moms Guide: BlanketHow about a soft and durable baby blanket? My kids still love their blanket he received as an infant. I have I personally love every single baby blanket I have – so soft, so warm, so cuddly.

Baby Wrap

Gift Ideas for New Moms Guide: Baby WrapAs a first time parent, I remember one item that I wanted for my child, but did not receive was a baby wrap. Having one of these makes things easier for baby and mom, but many cannot justify this expense and that’s why baby carrier or wrap makes a great gift. Baby wearing can calm a fussy child and leave mom hands free to do whatever she needs to do while the baby is close.

Cleaning Supply

Do not underestimate the power of clean. While a new mom might be worried sick about feeding and diapers, you know what comes with a baby – lots of mess and lots of laundry. I am sure, you know that Dreft is an amazing laundry detergent – it is hypoallergenic and formulated to help clean tough stains. Gift Ideas for New Moms Guide: Dreft Laundry Stain Remover

However, here is another great product that would make a huge difference – laundry stain remover. It works the same way the regular stain remover does, but this one is designed for the baby clothes by Dreft. It works on food, spit-up, urine, formulas with any fabric type. It sure makes a budget friendly gift.

What is the one thing you think is essential for a new mom to have?

    I agree with all of these ideas and find my Dreft pen absolutely essential!

    How about a gift card to a local spa/salon for a getaway day?! Seems like something all new moms would appreciate.

      I agree totally–get Grammy to come over and watch her grandbaby and go put and indulge-you will feel relaxed and refreshed!

    Great list of gifts for new moms! I wouldn’t have though of the stain treatment, but that is such a great idea. Food delivery service for a couple of days or a week is also a nice gift that I like to give.

    I can’t tell you how many times I have brought Diapers to baby showers! Of course I also buy a couple pf onsies, and bibs and maybe a pacifier. But Diapers are the one thing parents are really going to need a lot of!

    This is a great list of must haves! I like giving gifts that MOM can really use. Supplies that you dread buying (i.e. diapers, cleaning products, etc) but I always throw in a blanket (you can never have enough) and a cute outfit!

  6. Lesley Stevens says

    March 2, 2015 at 7:41 pm

    All new moms would appreciate these things.Its so hard in the beginning.

    These are definitely must have items for new moms. I really like that diaper bag actually.

    Very good gift ideas. Essentials for new mom.

    Diapers are a great way to go. I appreciated all of the homemade meals & gift cards when I had babies.

    You can never have too many diapers!!!
    If the mom is breastfeeding, I’d say a pillow! If she’s formula feeding then definitely bottle supplies!

    Cannot STRESS enough the need for diapers for new moms! My two went through them like crazy!

    I always get diapers as baby shower gifts. I know how much I appreciated them when I was pregnant, so I like to pay it forward 🙂

  13. Scott says

    We always make a diaper cake out of correct-sized diapers. Better than just giving a box of them!

    Great post! I was thinking this would be amazing for affiliate links to Amazon, I believe they have all of these!

  15. Katherine says

    March 6, 2015 at 1:56 pm

    I asked for formula – could never have too much of it when they come home!

  16. Trisha says

    March 6, 2015 at 5:08 pm

    These are all great gift ideas! I think another essential for a new mom is a swing or bouncer! Mine are a life saver!

    The diaper bag is cool I want one now even with my 7 year old because it will look great and still hold all of her toys and such that we lug around with us. I think the other things on the list is great too the baby monitor was wonderful to have I could watch my daughter sleep and it was a peace of mind not having to check in every five minutes but knowing she was ok when she fussed just a bit.

  18. Rosey says

    March 6, 2015 at 6:06 pm

    These are all great ideas! I’m glad to see Dreft has an expanded line. I only knew about the detergent and I loved it (it smelled so good too!).

    I would have loved a stylish diaper bag when mine were little. Back then, we only had animals and Winnie the Pooh to choose from lol.

    I love all these lists for new moms. I personally loved pampers due to their rewards program. I got some really great stuff.
