Have you got a new mum in your life who’s just given birth? If so, you likely want to get them something special as they go through this exciting time. But with so many different items available, how do you know the perfect gift? We’ve compiled a short list of 10 great gifts that will make any new mum happy during her hospital stay or as she settles into motherhood.
1. Pregnancy pillow
Pregnancy pillows come in all shapes, sizes, and prices. They can be used for breastfeeding or as a sleep aid for an expectant mother. The best type of pregnancy pillow is the one that suits your needs best. Pregnant women like to use a pillow that supports their back while sitting in bed or on the sofa during their third trimester. So it’s a best gift to add in the new mum hamper.
2. Nursing bra
Having a nursing bra on hand is a must. Most nursing bras are made from cotton, meaning they’re breathable and will be comfortable to wear while in the hospital and breastfeeding at home. Plus, the best nursing bras are easy to take off and put on. There’s no time for fiddling when you’ve just had a baby!
3. Breast pads
Breast pads will be your new best friend. They are essential for any new mum as they are needed to help reduce the risk of infection, ensure a dry and comfortable nursing experience, and protect your clothes from milk stains. However, not all breast pads are created equal. There’s been a lot of discussion about whether or not disposable breast pads are necessary.
5. Slippers
Soft and cozy slippers are the perfect gift for a new mom in the hospital. Give your best friend the peace of mind that she needs to enjoy this precious time with her new baby by choosing from our range of slippers available on our website. The slippers come in various sizes and colors, so you’re guaranteed to find something perfect for every lady.
6. Maternity wear
Maternity wear is essential for a new mum, so why not pack a lovely new outfit in your hospital hamper? You can also include a nursing bra or two and some delicious chocolate to keep the mommy-to-be feeling her best.
7. Nightdress
A night dress is a perfect gift to bring to the hospital in the new mum hamper. All new mothers need plenty of sleep, so they will appreciate being able to change from the clothes they were wearing when they go into labor and put on something more comfortable. The gowns provided in hospitals are usually not that flattering, and many women find it hard to get dressed with their bumps in the way.
8. Underwear
Every new mom deserves a nice set of underwear and a nursing bra to get her through the first weeks with her newborn. The hospital may have some on hand, but it’s not guaranteed. And if you’re like me and have a large cup size, it can be hard to find any nursing bras in your size! That’s where these high-quality nursing bras from Motherwear come into play.
9. Nipple cream
Nipple cream is a must-have for new mothers. It can help soothe and heal dry or cracked nipples, which can be a painful and uncomfortable condition for many women. Nipple cream is available in various flavors and forms, including petroleum jelly, balm, ointment, and liquid soap.
10. Fresh flowers
Nothing says you care more than fresh flowers. The best part is that they are really easy to arrange and will last a while. You can order them in advance, and they’ll be ready on your visit.
Conclusion
The best way to say congratulations and good luck on your new arrival is to spoil them with all the essentials they will need for a great start. So, look at our list of ten perfect gifts for a new mum in the hospital and get shopping!
