The Perfect Swimsuit

Posted on: 13 January 2022

Expectant and new mothers always love receiving gifts for their new bundle of joy. Cute, common gifts like diapers, stuffed animals, and baby toys are always wonderful, but perhaps you want to go above and beyond. If you are looking for unique and memorable baby gifts, there are plenty of options. Knowing what options are available can help you choose the perfect gift for the new mom and baby.

Not Your Average Baby Clothing

Moms are usually gifted baby booties and onesies for their babies. Clothing for a new baby is always welcome. However, new babies tend to grow out of their clothes quickly. A baby weighing eight pounds or less at birth will grow out of newborn size clothing in approximately three to five weeks.

If a baby weighs more than eight pounds at birth, it will grow out of its clothing even quicker. Rather than purchasing a bunch of newborn size clothing, try an assortment of clothes in varying sizes. Use the different sized outfits to create a unique gift basket for the new mom or mom-to-be. They will appreciate having a variety of clothing that the baby can wear as they grow.

Not Just Any Stuffed Animal

Many people will gift a new mother with tons of stuffed animals for the new baby. Rather than joining the crowd and purchasing a standard stuffed animal, try finding one that improves the quality of the baby's sleep. There are stuffed animals that play soothing sounds that replicate the inside of a mother's womb, which can help newborn babies sleep.

New moms need their rest just as much as anyone else. Since a new baby's sleep schedule is often erratic, a new mother will try to find different ways to soothe their baby to sleep. Help a new mom out by giving a gift that aids both a new mother and the baby. Since the stuffed animal can improve the baby's sleep, it can also improve the mother's sleep.

Not Your Standard Diaper Bag

A diaper bag is a great baby gift. Diaper bags allow mothers to carry around all the essential items their baby needs while they are on the go. With so many stylish diaper bags available on the market, it may be hard to choose the right one. The first tip is to avoid your standard one-shoulder diaper bag.

A one-shoulder diaper bag can add physical strain to anyone's body, including a new mom. In fact, one-shoulder bags are known to cause:

• Lower back pain
• Muscle tightness
• Neck pain
• Headaches

Instead, consider a diaper bag that is available in the form of a backpack, which helps distribute the weight evenly.
