I did diapers and wipes for my friend’s baby shower. Im now going to see her baby who’s a month old - do i do diapers again? Feels repetitive. What’s best. PS baby no 2 so already got loads of clothes

Food. Bring a casserole or a bag of fried chicken or really anything. One month is still early and it is so nice not to have to worry about dinner for a night or two.

If you gave a gift at her shower, why feeling obligated to bring another gift after birth? If you must, how about something for momma?

Don’t feel obligated to get anything, but if you do I would get something for mom! A sweet treat or a fall candle

Bring food! A freezer meal so she can have dinner prepped/one less thing to think about the next time she has a rough day. Also fresh cut fruit or bagels and coffee are always nice! Play with older kid so they get individual attention and she can have some baby time, or offer to take both on a walk so she can shower or have some guilt free couch rot time

If you don’t want to being clothes, bring a book!

Food or a gift card for a nearby take out restaurant

Bring her lunch

Thank you all!

People with kids always need wipes and diapers. Make sure diapers are next size up. I’d be appreciative of diapers and wipes for sure! Books r great too. And of course gift/gift certificate for mom are great!

Food is the way. She'll be tired and may have burned through any previously prepared meals or food gift cards by this point.

Otherwise, I'd go for a small but thoughtful gift. Baby board book, singular baby outfit, something to pamper mom, etc. I dont think anyone expects a big gift (or any) for coming to see baby.

I found a lot of enthusiasm from others for baby #1 and almost none for baby #2. For baby #2, I didn't really get anything from anyone (minus a few small things from grandparents) ahead of baby because everyone assumed we had stuff covered (mostly true), but even a small gift meant a lot because it felt like they were sharing our excitement for baby #2. I was glad not to get TONS of gifts because our house is already overrun with toys and baby/toddler paraphernalia.

Books. Babies and children need as many books as possible.

Dessert for mom, if she can, and a small toy for the baby number 1. Books are a great idea!

+1 to something for mom!
