Suggestions...

My friend is having her baby in a few days and I wanted to put together a fun basket of things for her...both fun things and things that I know she will need the first couple weeks after delivery...It has only been 5 weeks but I'm already finding it hard to remember the first couple weeks home! I have some essentials in mind of things I needed but would love to hear your suggestions and/or what you felt really helped!

easy snacks, infinity pads, dermaplast, stool softners, that is all i can think of.

These things!!  Also, Prep H/Tucks wipes & cream (just in case), lanolin/motherlove salve/some kind of nipple cream if she plans to BF, and some kind of OTC pain killer.

The biggest camelback water bottle you can find.

If she has a laptop... a couple of DVDs...  I watched Mr. Bean during the first couple of hours of labour, until the pain got more intense... it helped kill the time.

A friend of mine dropped off some pre made dinners for us... She had two servings in each tupperware and then freezer bagged some for later. She also cut up a bunch of fruit and put it into containers. Also, she brought bagels and cream cheese for easy breakfasts. It was awesome!

Other than that... The normal postpartum stuff. Pads, chapstick, dermaplast, tucks... Perhaps a cute pair of slippers for around the house.

I second the premade frozen meals!
