We have shown you this morning a small review with some ideas to gifts for a pregnant woman. Now we are going to talk about moms who, waiting for their son, are very close to the birth date, thinking, again, about those things that will help them have a calmer end of pregnancy and face the first few days after Birth with serenity and security.
We go now with some ideas with which, in my opinion, are the best gifts for a pregnant mom who will soon give birth.
"Love, eat and suck" by Carlos Gonzalez
The mother who will soon have her son may not have raised all those doubts and possible setbacks that will come when her son is born. Instead of letting her look for information in the usual magazines of the kiosks, which sometimes give conflicting information, assemble them with a book that prepares them for breastfeeding, parenting, their children's sleep and the inevitable questions about health and nutrition It is, in my opinion, the best possible gift.
Practical, sensitive, close and written in a very accessible way, "Love, eat and suck" by Carlos González, it will possibly make the difference between facing your new motherhood with peace of mind or at the mercy of not always successful advice. It contains the most significant works of this pediatrician: "A gift for a lifetime", "My child does not eat me" and the indispensable "Kiss me a lot".
I had already wished that these books had been my gift before the birth of my son, everything would have been much simpler and more serene. So, if you have a friend or relative who is going to be a very early mom, this gift may become your best friend.
The accompaniment of a doula
A doula is an important help for recent moms and pregnant women in the last part of your pregnancy and in the first days after birth. If the mother does not know this service we can talk about it, but, give her the payment of the services of a doula, accompanying her so that she herself decides with our guidance which can best suit her needs, it will be a nice gift that will also help her to spend those last moments of pregnancy better and the days after arriving home.
Talking with your doula, receiving your practical help or advice, will be something that you will really appreciate even if you don't even know what it is previously. Anyway, being something so personal, it is perhaps the most delicate gift and we have to think very well about whether our friend or family member will receive it well.
A diaper cake
The diaper cakes They are beautiful and very practical, and without a doubt, they are a detail that, in a house where a baby will soon arrive, will always be well received.
We can do it ourselves, adding the charm of something made with our own hands, or buy it already made. Actually it is a package of disposable diapers well placed, with ornaments, lace, some soft toy and wrapped in cellophane paper.
A different basket
I remember that they gave me several baskets, some really unhelpful. The point is that, if we want to offer a really special gift, there is nothing like making the choice of the products ourselves, looking for those ecological, quality or especially useful in the first days but that are not usually included in other more commercial compositions .
I would include disposable breastfeeding discs and cotton cloth, sweet almond oil for baby's skin and rosehip for mother's recovery, sterile gauze and serum, plus a lanolin ointment in case there is any cracks in the beginning of breastfeeding. It would also, of course, some hygiene product, but choosing brands such as Weleda or other ecological and hypoallergenic.
Special clothes that mom and baby will enjoy
When the baby arrives there is no time to buy anything, so a nice nursing nightgown, underwear of cheerful design that also serves to breastfeed, a new gown or also a lullaby or an organic cotton blanket to wrap the baby they would be personal and useful gifts that can be precious without looking for good designs.
A blank book
There are many feelings in those moments. And many memories. Things we say to ourselves, thoughts sometimes we need to organize, words that we would like to leave on paper to, in the future, re-taste them or tell them to our son. That's why a nice blank book is another very successful gift for that mom who is going to have her baby soon.
Cloth diapers
There are beautiful washable cloth diapers, made with very cheerful fabrics, and, if the mother has already considered using them, surely an additional set will delight them.
Also, although moms don't always know cloth diapers and, if they are not at all convinced, they will not consider making that investment, having them is not over. Few are the moms who are not going to find that the diapers have run out at the worst time and having some cloth diapers will certainly get anyone out of trouble. They are another of my recommended gifts.
If these suggestions do not convince you, surely in the next topics, when we talk about gifts for the mother who has just given birth and for which she already has a more grown-up baby, they can help you choose the best gift for this Christmas.
