New Mom Breakfast Basket

I remember we discussed making breakfast baskets for new moms a few months ago. What were some of the suggestions to add to it? I'm going to visit my friend and her baby tomorrow. I want to bring a little gift for the baby but also something for my friend. She doesn't drink coffee--or at least didn't pre-newborn LOL.

My ideas so far: 

  • a few good muffins
  • hot cocoa
  • granola bars
  • maybe a few bagels and cream cheese?

I feel like it needs some protein or something?? What else would you bring?

  • Oh - doh! And some fruit of course! Cubed cheese maybe?

  • Yogurt, cubed cheese, maybe bottled juice of some kind?

    I love bagels and cream cheese for breakfast. H and I have this a few times a week. 

    Fresh fruit? Cherries, grapes, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries.

    This is a really great idea. You sound like a good friend! :)

  • I love this idea :)

    In addition to what has already been said.... Some hearty granola with nuts and dried fruit, etc. Nice caffeine-free teas. Maybe a new "mommy" themed mug? Artisan bread. Pancake mix. A specialty jam/peanut butter. Chai latte mix.

  • What about like a baked oatmeal?  I realize it may not fit IN the basket, but oatmeal is great for nursing mothers and it'll keep her tummy full for a while.  Once it's already baked off it's super easy to heat and go from the fridge!

  • I made one and included the protein muffins that you can find on Pinterest. I would add a couple bottles of water, bananas maybe?
  • Yogurt and granola's a great idea.
