Practical Gifts for New Parents

Parents of a new born have a difficult job ahead of themselves. The day-to-day care for a baby can quickly become overwhelming, and there are a lot of things parents find themselves needing that no one tells them about. If you know someone becoming a new parent, consider helping them out with one of the following practical gifts for new parents.

Basics

Diapers, clothes and bottles are necessities. The trouble is that parents quickly run out of diapers, bottles need cleaning and kids outgrow clothes very quickly in their early years. Grab some extra onesies and stock up on diapers. You can gift someone a year’s worth of diapers from a site like Amazon, where you can set your stock to automatically ship to the new parents monthly. It’s also good to have changing table supplies, like a pad for the infant to lay on while changing occurs. A comforter set is another good idea for those evenings when baby falls asleep with mom or dad on the couch.

Crib

A new crib is a good idea for parents, and you can find very affordable models online. Aside from cribs, you can also look into gifting a stroller, or a travel set. A light weight stroller is helpful for those days when a heavyweight stroller seems like too much. It’s easy to push, and light on the back. A travel set is handy for those days when a child falls asleep in the middle of the day. Parents can quickly unclip the child’s car seat and mount it to a stroller so the day keeps on going.

Bedding

Twin comforter sets are the perfect size for a growing child’s bed. Even though they may not be of use now, parents will be thrilled to have those sets when the time comes. Some people like to knit their own scarves or caps for babies too, which is a good gift from the heart. Just be sure that you use material that won’t irritate the baby’s skin.

Bags

Everyone advocates a diaper bag for new parents, but the thing no one tells them is to get one that can double for a purse. The extra cash it costs to get a purse/diaper bag will make itself up in convenience time. Parents can put everything into their respective pockets, and still have enough space for baby’s things. Who knows, they find themselves more organized with a small baby than most people are without one.
