As parents of a newborn we luckily got bought a lot of presents. Below is a list I’ve written of gifts that are practical that parents may not have thought of and will probably serve them well.
These are things I’ve bought and have found the most useful in the past few weeks since she’s been born.
*All presents have been gratefully received!!
1. Buggy clips for shopping
2. Spare fitted sheets for bassinet / Moses baskets
3. Cup holder for buggy
4. Snooza shade
5. Bottle cooler
6. Napisan
7. Coconut oil
8. Waterproof covers for the changing mat
9. Covers for a sleepyhead if they have one
10. Newborn / 0-3 months clothes
11. Flowers with a vase / pot plant
12. Waterproof cover for the cot mattress
13. Socks for the baby – you lose them all the time
14. A woolly hat if it’s coming into winter
15. Gloves for the buggy
16. Large incontinence pads – sounds rank but they’re so good for airing your bits!
If they’re breastfeeding
17. Silver nipple shields – I’ve already lost one and could really do with a spare pair!!
18. Reusuable breast pads
19. Breastmilk storage bags
20. A Hakkaa pump😀
Things that everyone buys…..
– Jellycat bunnies – we have 5
– the soother cloth with a toy on – we have 7
– 3-6 month clothes – babies do need clothes when they’re born
– flowers but with no vases – you run out of them really quick
