Gifts to Give Mom After Having Baby

Giving a new mother a gift after the delivery of a baby gives you the chance to acknowledge her hard work and commemorate the child's birth. While these gifts, often called push presents, are typically given to mom by the father, other family members or friends can also present her with a thoughtful gift.

  1. Jewelry

    • A piece of fine jewelry will prompt a mom to remember the special day whenever she wears it. A diamond necklace or earring set; a necklace or earrings with the child's birthstone; or a locket where she can place a clipping of the baby's hair or a small photograph are desirable gifts. Present her with a boy or girl charm or a charm engraved with the child's name to attach to a bracelet. .

    Photography Gifts

    • For mothers who enjoy taking pictures, select a digital camera and add a gift certificate to a photo processing center. Purchase a gift certificate for a local newborn photographer so mom can have some professional pictures of her and the new baby. Give the new mom a nice photo frame or album, or create a scrapbooking kit.

    Feel-Good Presents

    • Thoughtful presents that will make a mom smile include a bouquet of flowers or balloons sent to her hospital room or a limousine ride home from the hospital. Make a mom comfortable with a gift card to her favorite store to purchase clothes to fit her post-pregnancy body. Or give her a cozy pajama set to enjoy during her first few days at home with her baby.

    Heart-Felt Gifts

    • Write a letter expressing your love and letting her know how much you appreciate her. Help older children write their own special letters to mom, thanking her for everything she does. Present the new mother with a coupon book for household chores, such as cooking meals, doing the laundry or vacuuming the floors. This will allow her to spend time bonding with her new child and recovering from birth instead of worrying about everyday tasks.

      Am I in labor? It seems like it should be a simple question, but so often it isnt. In the movies, a womans water breaks---and then the babys on the way (after a mad dash to the hospital). In real life, labor is rarely so quick or obvious.
