Great suggestions!</p> <p>@looch: Yes, I'm positive that she's nursing. I know what you mean though- I know I would've had a hard time receiving stuff like that when I was struggling with DS. Definitely something to consider. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-put-in-a-survival-kit-for-a-new-mom#post-1556322 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 12:12:40 +0000 looch 1556322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you sure she's nursing?

Unfortunately she lives across the country from me so I can't visit/help/take her things immediately. I'd like to send her a first time mom survival kit package ASAP. She had a pretty rough delivery and her husband is going to have to travel for work fairly soon. They're also prepping for a cross country move. Soooo I'd like to give her practical things that she'll need/could use but that aren't bulky and difficult to pack or move.</p> <p>What did you use a lot when your first baby was a newborn? I'm thinking nipple cream, gas drops, chapstick (for mama), some larabars, a nice water bottle, boogie wipes....I don't know!</p> <p>I'm also definitely going to include an outfit and some hairbows since they were team green (and sure that baby would be a boy) and it's a girl! </p>
