Moms get showered with presents when their new babies arrive. All come from a beautiful heart centered place, but unfortunately aren’t always as useful or as needed as well-wishers intend. So what does a new mom really want after baby comes home?
1. Forest Animal Prints from the Animal Print Shop
Help mom finish off her new little joy’s nursery with these simple and life-like animal prints. They are as beautiful as they are simple and I’ve already spent close to an hour deciding between ones to purchase for my own home! 8.5×11’s begin at $25
2. Nikon D5300 DSLR
Every mom wants memories of their baby. If they don’t already have a DSLR and you are looking for something super special, the Nikon D5300 is the perfect starter camera to get fast images of her newest little bundle that will be walking before she can blink. $746.95 with an 18-55mm lens
3. Indi Bandana Bib – Oliver Stripe – Red
Spit-up happens and bibs are the only thing saving the baby’s precious clothing from untimely stains, which unfortunately can also hide the sweet style underneath. These bibs make up for the coverage and have an adorable modern flair! $14.95
4. Anais & Aden Night Sky Class Swaddles
I received these swaddle blankets after giving birth to my son and have since purchased them for every new mom friend. They are long, stay tight around baby, but are breathable and light. They work as an airy nursing cover as well! As an added bonus these are neutral enough for baby’s first photography session. $49.95
5. Flavor Infuser Water Bottle
Spice up the gallons of water needed to sustain a new nursing mama by adding some natural fruit flavor! Both visually pleasing, like a bouquet of flowers in the glass, and yummy, this bottle will help add gourmet feeling to an otherwise ordinary bottle of water. $15
6. Amazon Kindle Voyage
Mom has quite a few hours ahead of her baby feeding from the couch or bed! The Kindle Voyage makes reading with one hand easy by using the PagePress feature to quickly turn to the next chapter. Plus, the adaptive front light makes night time feedings a bit more entertaining. $199
7. Baby Initial Ring
After having kiddos I had a need for some subtle jewelry that made me feel connected to them, even when apart. These 14k gold initial rings are both classic and stylish. They can be stacked as you add on babies! $100
8. Mommies First Box Subscription
Designed to follow the developmental stages, these care packages, with 4 to 6 items in each, arrive in monthly varied boxes allowing a new mom to try out fresh, hot items on the market. Each product has been reviewed by the Mommies First Council. $30 for a monthly subscription
