Gift Ideas for New Mama

Coming home from the hospital with your first, second, or even fifth baby can be overwhelming.  I had my first in 2021, and even with a lot of hands on experience with newborns and infants, I had no idea the needs I would have as a new mama!

I wanted to share some items that provided a lot of comfort, joy and healing in hopes they help another mama, partner or friend.

First up, as a breastfeeding mama- I cannot sing the praises enough of Bodily products.  I use EVERYTHING they have, including the care for birth box.  But even one year postpartum with my second who is still nursing, I love love love my Bodily bras.  These are buttery soft, amazing for the painful first weeks of breastfeeding.

Speaking of cozy, having pajamas for postpartum that are easy to remove (for breastfeeding or spit up aftermath) is a MUST.  I love these from Kindred Bravely (which I also wore during pregnancy) and Cozy Earth.

Some other cozy essentials for me are Barefoot Dreams Blanket, Muslin Swaddles for snuggling with baby and Cozy Earth Socks.

  As a new mama, my  two beverage essentials were coffee (for sleepless nights) and lots and lots of water.  My husband jokes that he can’t go 10 feet without running into another water bottle – and this is my current favorite!  For coffee, I love my Yeti Mugs- but as a new mom who is tugged in a lot of directions when navigating and prioritizing baby – having this temperature self-warming mug is an absolute lifesaver.

For self care, I am still loving my body butter, belly oil, and lip balm.  Also, does it count to have an airtag as self care to keep me from losing all my things these days?

  Lastly, the best soft wakeup- the Hatch Restore.  I have had Hatch sound machines for both of my boys- but this Hatch Restore is wonderful for the sunrise feature.  Definitely a must for new mama!

That’s all for now, but more to come!
