Have a friend or a family who would have a baby coming? Attending baby showers is fun but picking out gifts for the parents-to-be can be quite confusing with all the baby products offered here and there. What kinds of baby products a first time mom must have? Read on as you might find something in the list below.
Baby monitors are expensive but if you have the means and you can afford it, you better get one. You can rest assured that this gift will not only wow the expectant parents, but will be regarded highly. The parents might not use this for the time being as a newborn would be inseparable with the parents for about two weeks but having a monitor ready will only help. This product is important for baby’s safety.
Breast pump might not be for the baby, but a breastfeeding mom will surely love it. This will certainly be convenient to for the mother; thus making the feeding easier. First aid kits can also save the parents some trouble if there would be a little accident in the house. On the other hand, baby bath products such as baby lotions, powder, baby wipes, soaps and towels will be valued too.
Baby clothes are also a must-have for a baby but refrain from giving those ones that are fancy for there is no need to do it. Babies wouldn’t care how they look. Plus they could easily outgrow them. When purchasing clothes, opt for ones that wouldn’t be hard to put on and off. Avoid clothing that has too many buttons or snaps to avoid hassles for both parents and the baby.
Baby books are good ideas too. This will allow you to have a bonding time with your kid. It will also build their vocabulary and will stimulate their imagination. A baby scrapbook or album is also a great idea. Scrapbooking is a good way of keeping your baby’s memories. Besides, it is a fresh way to break away from the digital world.
Baby toys. While the parents will probably still sort through which toys are appropriate for their newborn and which are not, it will still be very helpful to choose something appropriate yourself. Be mindful of the baby's safety when picking a toy-whether it's a something for teething or a cute stuffed animal. Every gift, regardless of its cost and size, will be cherished.
