New moms need all the help possible. Anything which can make things easier for them is always the best gift for them. I remember when my daughters were born, it was not easy initially and it felt as if my whole world turned upside down. So, I thought of sharing a list of gifts for new moms.
Lucky are those who have their family around as any help is a great help at this time. My daughters were born in the US and my mother in law came there to help us. It was a great help and luckily we had a very good set of friends who also helped us a lot.
When you think of gifts for new moms, it’s mostly baby clothes, baby diapers, and all baby related stuff. Why not choose something for moms for a change? I feel it’s important to wisely choose gifts for a new mom.
What to gift new moms?
Everyone thinks of only baby products but I am sharing a list of things that I think can be really helpful for new moms-
Baby carrier– It is really helpful to carry the baby around. And it should be very comfortable. I like this one from the Baby carrier.
Baby diaper bag– It is a necessity, a bag to carry not only diapers, wipes but something which is spacious enough to carry everything.
Car storage and organiser- A mom’s comfort is the most important and this is a very useful product when travelling with a baby. I recently gave it to one of my friends and she found it very useful.
Body wash- A mom’s body changes a lot during pregnancy and also after delivery. The Moms co. has a special range of products for moms. They have launched few products for new and expecting moms for now and will be launching baby products soon.
Stretch mark cream– During pregnancy and afterward, our body changes completely. Stretch marks are something which we all get and sometimes they do fade with time but mostly they are always there to remind us of our pregnancy. Moisturisation is the key and I used this cream throughout my pregnancy and I have very fewer marks.
Personalised gifts– Why not make a mommy happy by gifting her a personalised gift? There are many like a mug, a photo frame, or an album to cherish her memories.
Stroller- Although it is for the baby but it is a mom’s best friend and can make going out with the baby really easy. It is my favourite product as it made our trips to malls, grocery stores or walks very easy.
Baby care products– I know every mom needs them and these are the first thing that comes to our mind. A kit with all the essential products like baby oil, shampoo, soap, cream etc. can be given to a new mom.
Nursing pillow or feeding pillow– It makes nursing really easier for new moms. I used it during my time and found it really useful.
Books- Moms need some good advice too as there are so many things which are confusing and of course new. What to expect the first year was my favourite book at that time. It is on top of the list for new moms.
This week’s prompt- Share with us a list of 10 gifts for new moms.

This is a good list of gifts for new moms. I remember I had received lots of baby clothes which got smaller for Baby D soon enough as babies grow very fast. I wish the family also gift peace of mind to the new mom instead of measuring the amount of milk her breasts can produce and judging her for her inability to slip effortlessly into the new role.

Agree Anamika..Thats why I wanted to make a list which is more for mom than for babies as everyone gives baby clothes and baby products only. Thanks for reading. 🙂

That’s a thoughtful list of gifts for new moms. How right you are, people hardly think of the moms, it’s always about the baby.
