gift for preemie baby image
totspotath
My cousin's wife just had an emergency c-section about 2.5 months early and her baby will be in the NICU for a few months, I would like to make a basket of things for MOM to keep her occupied, take her mind off things, relax, food stuff...I am looking to spend around $50. Thanks :)
You guys are coming up with some wonderful ideas, I'll never be able to pick the best answer :)
And yes, I stress again that this basket is for MOM not baby :)
Answer
My daughter was born 6 weeks early and stayed in the NICU for a month. As a NICU mom I can tell you, it's not easy! What a wonderful idea, I wish someone would have done that for me! Things I think are a good idea to include in the basket are: slippers, purell hand sanitizer (always washing your hands in NICU!) a journal for mommy to write about what's happening for the baby later, a note pad to jot down names and numbers of health prof. and new friends made in the NICU, hand lotion (from washing your hands so much!), a disposable camera, snacks, information about preemie's and baby wearing (as the hospital may not tell you), a warm throw blanket for mom to snooze with in the rocking chair, and maybe even a gift certificate for mom and dad to go out to dinner....you need to take a break from the NICU sometimes!
Awww....I really hope she enjoy's the gift basket and knowing she's got a good friend thinking of her!

Nephew arrived 6 weeks early. What should I buy now and what should I save for the shower?
Me
My nephew arrived six weeks early and about two weeks before my sister in law's planned baby shower. I want to send some stuff right now but I'm not sure what would be best. Clothes? Bottles? Diapers? What should I send now and what should I save for the shower?
Answer
Newborn or if he's really small, preemie onesies (the little shirt with the snaps at the crotch) are always useful. Burping cloths, diapers and socks are also always needed. I would suggest getting the useful gifts now and something more novel/exciting for the shower.
