WWY put in a New Mommy Survival Kit?

I think I'm going to make one for SIL.  She's going to CD.  Here's what I have so far:

- Dr. Sear's Baby Book
- Infant Calm CD (vacuum cleaner, washer/dryer sounds, etc)
- Framed "Young Mother's Prayer"
- Dawn dish detergent
- Bac-Out
- Method wipes (for quickly cleaning the bathroom after baby comes)
- Lansinoh
- Witch Hazel Pads
- Preparation H

The last two are total TMI for most, but we're really close and I'm going to come up with funny sayings to put on them.  Unfortunately, I thought they were necessary after pushing out my 10 pounder.  :o(

Any other good ideas?

TIA!

    Some kind of sling or wrap (DIY if you sew)

    A cute diaper!

    Such a cute idea! Maybe add some cloth wipes and cloth breast pads. Some fun snacks for herself (organic chocolate, granola, dried fruit, almonds...)?

    I think everything you have already sounds great though!?

    sling (you can get some inexpensive ones on etsy- I never would have survived the first 6 weeks without mine)

    sleep mask (I can't nap unless it's dark... so another essential)

    Dermaplast.  No one told me about this--with my 3rd degree tear it would have been nice to know.

    Maybe some munchies to have handy while bf'ing 24/7.

    What a sweet SIL you are =)

    Some nice hand lotion - I think it was a hormonal thing, but my hands were sooooooo dry after DS was born.

    I gave my friend travel size toothpaste, toothbrush, deodorant, etc. for her car or diaper bag. For the days you rush around to take care of the baby, and leave the house totally forgeting yourself!
