Postpartum survival basket

I'm putting together a basket for my cousin and I need to some ideas. My sister and I are the closest that she has to sisters, she's the first out of all her friends to have a baby, and my aunt isn't the type to tell her what she needs for the first few weeks. I know this has been asked before, but for the life of me I couldn't find it in previous threads. What could you not live without those first few weeks? Thanks ladies

    For me it was food. It was nice to have snacks and pre-made meals on hand that I could warm up. Going to the grocery store was tough and cooking was impossible. I also think colace and nipple cream (if she is BF) would be great to have on hand.

    Snacks, like trail mix. Big 'ol water bottle (something you can work one handed)

    I did one of these for a dear friend as well, and along with the items mentioned, I bought her some inexpensive granny panties for those first few weeks along with a variety of sanitary pads.  I know I didn't want my good undies getting ruined!
