The birth of a child is a holiday in the house. On this occasion, relatives and friends want to please the baby's mother with something really necessary, and not the tenth teddy bear in a row. To make a useful gift, it is enough to look closely at the family's lifestyle and their needs.
Home helpers
Often, the mother of a newborn receives several recurring gifts from guests at once. Breast pumps, toys and pacifiers can end up collecting dust in the corner of the apartment for a long time. Therefore, it is best to ask the parents in advance whether they plan to give the baby a pacifier, whether they will feed the baby naturally or artificially. A young nursing mother simply does not need a variety of devices that are produced for "artificial". Conversely, if a woman for some reason does not have milk, she is unlikely to be pleased with special outfits for breastfeeding a baby.
But there are also universal gifts that most mothers need. Among them are household appliances, which will remove some of the housework from it. For example, a slow cooker will allow you to prepare dinner for adults without wasting time stirring in pots. And in return, he will give an extra half hour or hour of sleep. The steamer will help both sterilize baby dishes and prepare food for the baby's first feeding.
There is no need to talk about the benefits of a dishwasher, especially if there are other children in the family. Instead of standing at the sink for a long time, mom can pay attention to all the household members or just relax in the evening. The robotic vacuum cleaner will free you from the need to frequently clean the floor when your child learns to crawl.
It is better to choose developing rugs, crib modules and other similar things together with the child's parents.
Another good gadget gift is a baby monitor. Many people think that this device is needed only for those who have a spacious apartment or cottage. But even in a modest one-room apartment, he will be irreplaceable. Firstly, the mother from the kitchen will hear the first squeak of the waking child and will be able to calm him down in time, until the sound turns into a loud cry. Secondly, it will be possible to calmly put the baby to sleep on the balcony or go to the dacha and take a walk in the garden while he is dozing in the house.
Taking care of mom's beauty
Gifts that will not let the young mother forget that she is also just an attractive woman will be no less useful. A certificate in a beauty salon - for a haircut, pedicure or massage - will help her make a change of scenery for a short while and feel desirable. Indeed, in the hustle and bustle with a baby, not everyone has enough time to style their hair or put their nails in order, as it was before the baby was born.
For the same reason, many mothers will appreciate the course of gentle physical education (of course, provided that there is a nanny for the child at this time), swimming or yoga.
Recently, sling beads have become a fashionable gift - wooden beads tied with cotton thread, which the mother uses as a decoration, and the baby as a safe teether.
Finally, an unusual and at the same time useful gift option is a photo session with a professional family photographer. So parents will keep the memory of the first days of the baby for a long time in high quality pictures, and not just for a home “soap box”. Moreover, the masters are now willing to work in the genre of walking, and the session will not take up too much time.
