I'm headed to the store in an hour or so to get stuff for my friend who just had her baby yesterday. I want to make her a "new mom survival kit" - any of you have any suggestions for things you needed or wished you'd had or loved that you didn't think you'd need right after your baby came home? Thanks for any advice!
Re: Any SAL new moms on?
Hmmm.
I would say:
1. Food- easy snacks she can eat with one hand. Like protein/meal bars, dried fruit, etc
2. If she is breastfeeding, some Lanisoh
3. Butt Paste (in the baby stores...)
4. Burp clothes and lap pads
Some more expensive options, if you want something a bit more special...
4. a sling
5. a snuggle nest
6. boppy
7. The Belly Bandit (this is something I wish I knew about - its a postpartum girdle that helps shrink your belly...)
