Some of the awkward positions I ended up holding LO in when she first fell asleep led to some pretty sore muscles and something like that would have been nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggestions-for-a-new-mom-gift-bag#post-1262263 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 12:57:05 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1262263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're headed over to a friend's house today, and she just had her second baby. I'm compiling a little bag of mom goodies for her.</p> <p>This is what I'm putting in so far:</p> <p>- chocolate<br /> - some other snacks<br /> - lip balm<br /> - trashy magazines<br /> - gift certificate to local coffee shop<br /> - free babysitting coupons</p> <p>At first I was going to do a meal delivery service for her, but her husband has a lot of meal restrictions so I thought I'd rather do something that is enjoyable for her. She also already has netflix/hulu.</p> <p>What else would you add? </p>
