The term “New Mom” doesn’t actually mean we exclude moms that have other children. Every time a woman has a baby, she becomes a new mom all over again. She is a changed woman each time no one should make her feel less. Becoming a new mom is one of the most life changing times that a woman may go through. New moms forget how to take care of themselves when taking care of their new baby or babies. They no longer put themselves first, even in the simplest of ways. Like showering, eating, putting clean clothes on, brushing your hair, doing the dishes, etc. Almost 9 times out of 10, everyone forgets about the new mom and her struggles. No one comes over just to make sure the new mom is eating and showering, they come over to hold her baby and see her baby. She is also so resilient to not allow those next to her to know that she is struggling at all. These are the best ideas and items for a new mom.
Soft Cozy Mom Blanket
A soft cozy mom blanket is such a sweet gift. Something mom can wrap herself up in and heal herself is so important. This blanket is so soft and warm. It is perfect for a new mom.
Sweet Smelling Candles
You can never go wrong with a variety pack of candles. I love the smell of lavender, but I know other women who hate the smell! So, gifting someone a variety just makes sense. This variety pack comes with so many different scents that gifting can be easy.
Shower Steamers
Shower steamers are literally the best thing since sliced bread! Moms do not have much time for baths and there are so many people that do not have bathtubs or even big enough bathtubs! Shower steamers are the way to go. These shower steamers on Amazon are made with essential oils, so you know they smell amazing!
Self-Affirmation Cards
Post-partum depression is rough. Some new moms never have to worry about PPD, but most of us are not that lucky. Most of us, struggle with self-love and worth. If you have a traumatic birth or a negative experience during birth, this can cause PPD to stir inside of you leading you to a dark place. These Self-Affirmation cards would be a wonderful thing to gift a new mom and a good reminder for her that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Pink Stork Teas
I love the pink stork teas! This Pink Stork Tea is a Postpartum tea and is one of my favorites. The flavor is *Chefs Kiss*. It’s Chamomile Tea with Red Raspberry Leaf for Postpartum Recovery and Mood Support, there’s really no way to go wrong.
Fuzzy Slippers
Theres really nothing to be said and no reason to not gift a mom fuzzy slippers. These are comforting and soft, perfect for a new mama!
Gift Cards
Gift cards for coffee or food are a perfect gift for new parents. Moms and dads everywhere can benefit from this, especially if they live in a town that has a delivery service.
Cute Candle
Everyone need to know how great they are, why miss the opportunity to tell them? Give mamas a little bit of extra love around this time, because they need it.
Always Remember the Mama
All of these items that you can purchase from Amazon are just that, items. The one thing that you can give a mama in her time of need is your unconditional love and support. She needs it all. Friends that have children understand, but the friends that have not had children need to see her too. You need to remember that she is going through something big, and you need to be there for her more than anything. The gifts are just little extras. But do her dishes, clean her living room, let her take a shower, take her other kids for a walk, etc. There are so many EXTRA things that she needs but is not going to ask for. Help her, so she can raise her cupcakes in this world of monsters.
