I don’t know if a new mom will be happy about having guests at her home for the first few months, but she will definitely love it, if you give her some presents.

You just have to choose the right ones, of course.

A household with a newborn baby may seem a mystery to those who don’t have kids, and for a good reason – there are so many mystical devices, napkins, creams…

Everything’s white and sterile, you have to walk on your toes and never enjoy a movie with a glass of wine in this house ever again.

Well, those were the perks. Now to the downsides.

Do you know what used diapers smell like? If you don’t want to find out, we have a solution.

Like this Diaper changing station, we’ve got 45 cool ideas to inspire you getting something really useful.

Because once the child is born, there is little place left for presents that do not have any practical value.

In this article we’ve gathered everything a new parent might wish.

Conclusion

These were our picks of presents for new mommy.

To be honest, my personal favourite is Baby Monthly Milestone Blanket [see on Amazon]– being a photographer and a father myself, I think this calendar is delightful! Kids grow up so fast, one should never miss a chance to take a photo.

There are still many gifts I would have been happy to receive when our baby was born – any present, big or small will tell the parents how much their baby means to you!

But as you choose, try to see the gift with mother’s eyes – you will almost definitely go for something practical!
