10 Practical Gifts for a New Mum

1.Teething toys

New mums will do anything they can to make their baby’s teething pain go away.

There are a number of teethers available today, including some extremely eco-friendly versions. Such styles are made of natural rubber and food paint, which means there are no toxins to worry about.

When searching for the perfect teether, look for a size suited to your baby’s hands.

2. A new mum and baby hamper

Every new mum deserves to be spoilt, so show them you care with a hamper brimming with goodies, including beautiful bouquets, champagne , and cuddly toys.

Serenata Flowers have a number of great congratulatory gifts to choose from, all of which are tailored to boys and girls. Other ideas include balloons with messages splashed across them, cased wines and orchid gifts for new mums.

3. A swing chair

Just because they’re a new mum, this doesn’t mean all household chores suddenly cease to exist.

If anything, new parents have more to do! A swing to put the baby it is, therefore, a great gift idea. This secure device will keep him or her occupied, allowing mum to tackle an overflowing laundry basket, an assignment or a work call.

Modern swings even boast attachments for MP3 players, soothing lights and self-rocking mechanisms – all are guaranteed to promote a peaceful sleep.

4. A diaper bag

A diaper bag is one of the essential gifts for a new mum!

Such a necessity doesn’t have to be unglamorous and many of today’s models are stylish enough to double up as a handbag. Aesthetically pleasing, all-purpose diaper bags are all the rage these days.

When choosing a bag, ensure you pick one that boasts many pockets, easily attaches to a stroller and brandishes a washable matte finish.

5. Baby carrier

A good baby carrier makes carrying around the little ones a great deal easier – providing you pick one that is comfortable to wear. Opt for a style that has easily adjustable straps to save on back pain!

6. Swaddle blankets

Wrapping up a baby comfortably will help him or her self-soothe, and a swaddle blanket encourages a peaceful night’s sleep. When choosing a blanket, look for large, lightweight versions.

Contemporary styles even come with Velcro fastenings for ease of use.

7. Baby food dispensing spoon

Meal times can get a little messy when catering for young children, and parents will often have a large pile of washing to tackle after each and every meal.

A baby food-dispensing spoon is a great gift for those who wish to avoid this. Simply load up the spoon with food of choice and squeeze to dispense the contents.

Instead of ending up on the kitchen wall, the food ends up exactly where it is needed.

8. Bath time easy kneeler

Baths are an important part of a baby’s life. Unfortunately, such an event can be quite tough on a new mums’ knees. An easy kneeler solves this problem by providing cushioning where it’s needed.

Many also come complete with handy pockets to store a number of bath time essentials.

9. Baby food maker

The baby food maker is one of the perfect gifts for a new mum if she is a bit health conscious and those that want to know exactly what is going into their new born’s delicate tummies.

Instead of buying pre-made items, mums can now create their own freshly pureed baby food from the comfort of their own home.

Asides from ensuring the little one are getting all of the vitamins and minerals he or she needs, this is a great way to be experimental with new food types.

10. Cooling dish

It’s important to ensure any food served to a young baby is the right temperature and not too hot.

A cooling gift is one of the most practical gifts you can get a new mum. Once food is transferred to this clever device, it goes from piping hot to the right temperature in just a minute, making feeding time a lot less stressful!
