gift for 2nd baby girl image
Brisly N
One of my good friends just had a baby girl and we are having the baby shower soon. What should I get her and the baby?? Anyone have any interesting and creative ideas?? Thanks!
Answer
some things i loved that i didn't get:
a couple 'swaddle me's and a 'snuzzler' by kiddopotamus; i know babies r us has them for ten bucks a piece
depends really on your price range....check her registry too...
skip hop makes great diaper bags
if she has a changing table, get her a prince lionheart hang on diaper depot and wipes warmer to match; i dont' care what others say, ours works great, wipes are warm still when they get to baby's bottom and they do seem to appreciate it, esp as nbs
a baby bjorn with lumbar support; my dd is 8 mos old and loves hers and will still sleep in it if she gets tired, so it must be comfortable
if shes formula feeding, a 'dr brown's formula pitcher'; there is no shaking involved, so no foam or bubbles to put gas in baby's belly and u can make a whole day's worth at one time....
a boppy with a couple cotton covers, the soft ones don't fit as well for some reason....they can be used for feeding, resting tired arms when holding a baby, when baby gets older, to help him sit up, and for him to lean over for tummy time...they are great!
i love my diaper genie 2; ppl complain that they smell, but ours never has and my dd is on two solid meals a day as well as her milk...we use the dg for poopies only so sometimes there are some in there for a while and they still don't stink; refills are only five dollars at walmart....
she will probably get a ton of clothes and blankets, socks and such
a great thing! nobody thinks of, bc i figured it out myself....a lingerie bag for washing socks, hand mitts and other small things to keep from getting lost in the wash...
a pack of soothie brand passys, funny looking, but all a lot of babies will take including mine and they have no parts to break and are easy to clean....
if u know her well enough to know about her dig cam, get her a big memory card for all her pics....
some sleepsacks for when baby is older...
diapers if you know what kind she likes....they are always a good choice
i love my primo euro baby bathtub....it is marvelous!!!
a lamaze brand baby mirror with the wedge instead of the little frame stands....hard for baby to knock over and covered in high contrast colors, my dd used to play with the wedge by itself as well as with the mirror
the mirror to go in the car so she can see baby from her rearview mirror
a 'mosquito' or 'weather' mesh cover to go over infant carrier; it's easy to see through, take on and off, and strangers can't just walk up and touch baby, and THEY WILL, who knows why, but they do!
if u get the bathtub, or a bathtub, fill it with bath stuff..towels, washclothes, baby soap, lotion, hairbrush, comb, health kit with thermometer, nasal bulb, clippers, etc...baby toys for tub, toy holder for tub side...etc...
buy her some baby board books to read to her baby and in an few mos, baby will be trying to turn pages for mom, and they can take a lot of slobber
bibs, a variety, some cutesy for going out, some with waterproof backing, some of the thick terry cloth that pull over the head, i love bumpkins for feeding, etc....and you could buy a sippy cup or two, some soft small infant spoons and bowls, etc...
just pick a theme and go with it would be fun....there is sooo much
oh, and my dd is almost 9 mos and she still LOVES her womb bear, it plays a heartbeat with blood pulsing sound, brus has all this stuff and walmart has some of it.....maybe some baby einstein or other cd lullabies and a small cd player for baby's room, buy some classical music...etc..
i know it's a book , but i love these things...also
'what to expect the first year' was a very helpful book for me and my hub and it's a great reference when you have a question.................
buy her some nice rounded baby hangers and some with clips to keep outfits together....i needed so many of those it was unbelievable...
don't buy any clothes bigger than 0/3 bc depending on size and shape of baby they may not fit in the right season; my gal was 7, 6; but long and lean, so she wore nb and 0/3 forever; she had a lot of 3/6 outfits that were too cold to wear by the time she fit in them
a gift card to the store she is registered or a nearby baby store is also great, bc she can get whatever she still needs after the shower
my dd loved her bouncy seat, but has gotten a lot more mileage out of her rainforest jumperoo; she still bounces in it like a wild monkey and she's still on the lowest settting (she is petite though), but she loves that thing to death...ok, i will stop now..if you have any questions email me....i love to shop, can you tell?

Are there any baby memory books available for single mothers?

I am looking for a baby girl memory book for a single mother. All the ones I have looked at talks about the dad; or how mom and dad felt during the pregnancy. I would like a generic type book in which you only record information.

You could make your own and it would be unique! She'll love to look at it one day. Go get a pink or purple scrapbook(or they have some with baby stuff on them) they are blank inside so you just choose a theme for each page and go with it! For instance: 1st page-carrying you-include a b4 you got pregnant picture and a 36-38 week pregnant photo and write down food cravings,what it felt like when she moved,etc.-You can personalize it with photos/ stickers/ gift tags from baby shower and so much more. Scrapbooking is my favorite hobby! The next 2-3 pages could be: Your birth and include her 1st couple baby pics, fingerprints,hair etc and hospital bracelet, pic of outfit she wears home from the hospital. If you don't know what types of things to do,you can look in a baby book at the store or do scrapbook research on the net. It will be cool because you can customize her baby book yourself!
