Tylenol, a syringe from the pharmacy that's small enough for newborn doses, a card with dosing info, saline, gas drops, gripe water, nail clippers/file, etc.<br /> Or I do a nursing/pumping basket: lanolin, nursing pads, granola bars, water bottle with straw, milk bags, chocolate, burp cloths, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-gift-ideas#post-2288396 Fri, 11 Sep 2015 08:03:37 +0000 LuLu Mom 2288396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone I'm adding several of these to my list! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-gift-ideas#post-2288141 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 20:19:42 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2288141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@akcoffeebean: I agree! Always the stuff I realized I needed at like 2am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-gift-ideas#post-2288071 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 19:03:45 +0000 akcoffeebean 2288071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: I like to give a basket with things that I had to run and grab at inconvenient times. Nursing pads, infant Tylenol, gas drops, saline spray, soothies and snacks. Not fun or cute, but running into the store when you could be sleeping stinks. </p> <p>Adding some fancy chocolate and inexpensive pampering things for mom is nice too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-gift-ideas#post-2288061 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 18:51:47 +0000 ldh112 2288061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>another vote for tucks pads, babyganics hand sanitizer (since it smells less medicinal), coconut oil ( for cradle cap, diaper rashes, etc it's very multi-purposed!), earth mama nipple cream, maybe a couple books for the nursery (I loved getting books to stock my daughter's library!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-gift-ideas#post-2288058 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 18:48:30 +0000 knittylady 2288058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: I totally go the functional-slightly embarrassing route for new moms. Someone did it for me at my shower and it was freaking awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-gift-ideas#post-2288049 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 18:37:20 +0000 PawPrints 2288049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Reusable or disposable nursing pads, nipple soothing gel pads, infant thermometer (probably too expensive, but it is necessary), gas drops, Vitamin D drops, nail scissors, baby bath soap/bubble bath, nice handsoap (since you have to wash your hands so often in the newborn days), some snacks to easily grab like Clif bars etc. Maybe some postpartum supplies too: newborn-size diapers, witch hazel/tucks pads, sitz bath, dermoplast spray, comfy PJ pants, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-gift-ideas#post-2288007 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 17:49:21 +0000 simplyfelicity 2288007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am making a nightime themed basket for a friend with:<br /> 1. Mother love lavender baby oil<br /> 2. Fuzzy socks for mama<br /> 3. Receiving blankets<br /> 4. Sleep swaddle<br /> 5. Vanilla and lavender bubble bath for mama<br /> 6. Wubbanub<br /> 7. Goodnight Moon </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-gift-ideas#post-2288004 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 17:47:47 +0000 LindsayInNY 2288004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If breastfeeding, lanolin or some other cream! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-gift-ideas#post-2281291 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 17:45:00 +0000 LuLu Mom 2281291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you had $40=50 dollars to spend on a gift basket, what would you fill it with for the MUST have baby items? Things you might not have registered for but would be lost without? For me Nose Frida is #1, but i want some more ideas! </p>
