If you’re a new mom or have a new mom in your life, you know that welcoming a new little one is just a completely all-consuming phase. There are so many resources for putting together a baby registry (you can see my thoughts here!), but I often find it just as difficult to pinpoint my own wants and needs in the postpartum phase as it is to address the wants and needs of my little one(s). Below I rounded up a few items that have helped make me feel a little bit more comfortable in my (new and different) skin or that offered everyday upgrades to my (new and different) routine in each of my postpartum chapters. I hope this will help you narrow down gift ideas for a new mom in your life, whether it’s you or someone you love!
Lots of gifts ideas for a new mom below, but my top pick: I have cherished snuggling our babies in our family favorite Pottery Barn throw, which is hands down the softest thing you’ll ever own and which my mom has repeatedly given as gifts to all her children’s significant others as sort of a nod to them joining our family. Our three- and five-year-olds now often request to sleep with one in their beds and I think it’s probably about the closest you can get to a home run gift for all ages, and perhaps particularly so for a new mom who has a very special new reason to cozy up at home. 🙂
