Oh and two rattles- don't ask me how with all the toys we were given a rattle wasn't among them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-newborn-xmas-presents#post-1976235 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 21:33:45 +0000 rattles 1976235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dd was 3 weeks old. We got her Take Along Tunes and an Oball. She had a stocking with two little headbands. DD2 wiki be 6 weeks this year. She's getting a play mat as her big Santa gift, mostly because I wasn't sure if DD1 would wonder why she didn't get anything otherwise. Her stocking will have a wubbanub and Ring O'links. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-newborn-xmas-presents#post-1976227 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 21:29:51 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 1976227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son was only a few weeks old and right before he was born I had picked out a little monkey and a toy tray for his baby seat. My nephew who was 6 at the time was not impressed with Santa's first visit to his cousin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-newborn-xmas-presents#post-1976164 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 20:51:06 +0000 MapleMoose 1976164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, she was 2 months old and we thought it wasn't necessary to buy her gifts when she didn't even know what was going on lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-newborn-xmas-presents#post-1976131 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 20:19:41 +0000 bushelandapeck 1976131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's two months and we'll be giving her a mobile,pjs, and a first Christmas ornament. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-newborn-xmas-presents#post-1976103 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 19:47:10 +0000 mrbee 1976103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really believe in gifts before kids are really aware of them... but PJs seem a fun little present to open up for them on Christmas day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-newborn-xmas-presents#post-1976097 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 19:41:17 +0000 MsMini 1976097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>D (my daughter) will be 6 weeks old at Christmas, she is getting a play gym from us and a couple Lamaze toys from Santa. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-newborn-xmas-presents#post-1976080 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 19:22:57 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1976080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got our 4 1/2 month old a book, fleece jammies in the next size up, and a teether. Unintentionally it kind of fits the whole "something you want, something you need, something to wear, something you read." We're also making ornaments with baby's hand print (but that's more for us/the family than for him). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-newborn-xmas-presents#post-1976076 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 19:19:44 +0000 Charm54 1976076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got her a jumperoo and a cabbage patch doll.</p> <p>The cabbage patch never got opened so I am re wrapping it and giving it to her this Christmas again LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-newborn-xmas-presents#post-1976074 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 19:13:04 +0000 Littlebit 1976074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO will be 3.5 months.

Her grandparents did, as grandparents do. But my three month old didn't need anything besides diapers, boobs, and clothing, which she had plenty of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-newborn-xmas-presents#post-1975457 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 13:21:54 +0000 Chillybear 1975457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO was 3 months old so we did We did things that she "needed" - Supplies for daycare, Diaper cream, Tools for feeding, a couple winter outfits, some cute toys for 6 month+ that ended up getting a lot of use. and I made her a growth chart for her room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-newborn-xmas-presents#post-1975440 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 13:13:16 +0000 My Only Sunshine 1975440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter was 3 months old her first Christmas. We got her a couple board books and wrote "Merry First Christmas 2013" in them which is fun to see now a year later. </p> <p>One that we got that felt like a good sentimental Christmas book (and it's only $7) is Wherever You Are: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Wherever-You-Are-Love-Will/dp/1250017971" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Wherever-You-Are-Love-Will/dp/1250017971</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-newborn-xmas-presents#post-1975413 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 12:59:01 +0000 HLK208 1975413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She'll be 5 months old and we did...mostly because her sibs will notice that she didn't get anything if we didn't...and they'd question why. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-newborn-xmas-presents#post-1975376 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 12:34:36 +0000 Anagram 1975376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't. She got 1 small thing from inlaws and a couple of small gifts from my side of the family at their respective christmas get-togethers (not on Christmas morning). </p> <p>I felt like that was plenty for someone who wouldn't remember any of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-newborn-xmas-presents#post-1975357 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 12:21:15 +0000 .twist. 1975357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Our parents bought enough gifts to fill a bus. We definitely didn't think it was necessary at 5 months. </p> <p>This year we are though! He's a lot more interested! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-newborn-xmas-presents#post-1975353 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 12:19:54 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1975353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a 4 week old and I got her jammies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-newborn-xmas-presents#post-1975327 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 12:07:20 +0000 LuLu Mom 1975327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a 2 month old, we gave a "first Christmas" ornament, and some little things that we wanted to have anyways, nothing spectacular or grand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-newborn-xmas-presents#post-1975269 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 11:36:39 +0000 dolphin 1975269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She was a few days old so no! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-newborn-xmas-presents#post-1975135 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 10:33:20 +0000 alohaorchid 1975135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I understand not getting actual presents for a newborn, but a Christmas ornament or something would be nice! Or a new outfit for pictures. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-newborn-xmas-presents#post-1975130 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 10:32:19 +0000 ShootingStar 1975130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS was 5 weeks old and I think we got him one gift? Both our families got him a ton of stuff though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-newborn-xmas-presents#post-1975100 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 10:20:54 +0000 pui 1975100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD is 3 months and I bought her a special wooden mobile for her to "open" on Christmas day. Obviously she doesn't really care about presents this year, but I want to get her something anyway. I think she'll like the gift as she's just starting to grasp and loves things that make sounds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-newborn-xmas-presents#post-1975089 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 10:14:34 +0000 lamariniere 1975089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD was 3.5 weeks, so no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-newborn-xmas-presents#post-1975081 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 10:11:07 +0000 tinyperson 1975081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, she was 3 weeks old and we'd bought a lot of baby gear (obviously), so we didn't bother with much. I got her a stocking and a new dress and I think that was it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-newborn-xmas-presents#post-1975079 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 10:10:21 +0000 Mommy Finger 1975079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He was 6 weeks and we didn't get him anything. I actually didn't get his first christmas ornament until after christmas. Oops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-newborn-xmas-presents#post-1975045 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 09:58:14 +0000 Pancakes 1975045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She'll be 3 months but we got her a few things, especially since big sis will expect Santa to bring her baby sister presents. We got her a Sophie, a couple books, a stroller blanket, some headbands for her stocking and a toy. Probably way more than she really needs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-newborn-xmas-presents#post-1975019 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 09:47:13 +0000 Little Misters Mom 1975019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We weren't going to do anything since he'll only be 6.5 months. But I scored a few toys from that Melissa and Doug amazon sale. I also got him a jacket, that I guess I'll wrap up for fun. It's all stuff I would have gotten anyway, and he obviously won't know or care. But last Christmas I was 3 months pregnant and sick as a dog, and all I could think about was Christmas morning with him this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-newborn-xmas-presents#post-1975009 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 09:41:57 +0000 marionberry 1975009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our son was 3.5 months and we got him a bouncer plus toys and socks, etc for his stocking. This comes from the girl having stockings for unborn twins though lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-newborn-xmas-presents#post-1975002 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 09:38:32 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1975002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We put a few things in her stocking since everyone else was getting stockings. Tiny books from the Target $ bin, hairbows, a rattle. LO was 2 months. </p>
