It is really common to have a baby shower for new parents. And although baby shower gifts and a new baby are always exciting, let’s not forget the mother to be! A postpartum gift is a great way to show some love a new mum (or seasoned mum).
If you don’t have the time/money to do a big new mom gift voucher, even one or two items can show that you are being cared for. Postpartum recovery can be difficult, both physically and emotionally. And if the new mum is breastfeeding or had a C section, they come up with their own challenges. A postpartum care package is a great way for mothers to get a little self-care and indulgence.
Gifts such as a diary to process postpartum emotions, a comfortable robe or nursing pajamas are all great ideas. To throw a water bottle Or even a gift voucher there too! I have many ideas in this postpartum essentials message.
