I didn't really know which board to post this to but my Husbands neighbor that he grew up with had her baby today- 8 weeks early! Everyone is doing fine but the poor family didn't even have their baby shower yet. Anyone have any reccomendations on if we should get her something, and perhaps what? I assume they will be in the NICU for a bit, but no news yet on that front. Guess the tiny guy (4lbs) was ready to meet everyone!

Drop some food by! When you're spending all your free time in the hospital with your baby, there's no time to feed yourself!

I would definitely reach out & ask if you can bring them dinner or food. Maybe see if they have pets that need walking? Housework or nursery things that you could help with since they're likely going to be at the hospital a lot.
I wonder if they had a registry set up (even if they haven't had the shower yet). If so, it would be amazing to get a gift or two off of the registry.
I have no personal experience for gifting/helping parents with preemies, but I'm sure any gesture would be appreciated.

Food/gift cards for parents and preemie clothes for the little guy.

I had an early delivery too with my second baby and I'm glad that she was born as a normal baby. You can give any baby gifts for the baby shower as long as it can be used by the baby. You can also give a gift check and let the parents buy stuffs for their baby.
