Are flowers ok for a newborn?

My friend just gave birth and I would like to bring something when I go over to see the baby. I was thinking about flowers, but I am wondering if there are concerns with allergies or making the baby sick. I don%26#039;t want to mak a major faux pas on my first time meeting the little guy! Thanks!

I got loads of flowers and they did nothing to the baby. But you can go a little different... I got a chocolate bouquet from one friend, containing loads of chocolates (obviously), a mug with a cigar for the daddy, some perfume and a watch for mommy and a big blue teddy bear for baby (pink if it%26#039;s a girl). He bought it at a florist, so you may want to check into that. He spent a little extra money, but I%26#039;m sure they make different kinds. It%26#039;s a little different and I liked it more than the bunch of flowers, plus we all got to keep something from the hamper.
Reply:I%26#039;d give something different. See if you can find an edible arrangement or something to snack on. Thats what i would have loved when i was in the hospital after i had my son. Hospital food sucks and the stuff in the cafeteria is expensive.
Reply:I had lots of people bring me flowers and balloons, but it would be super special if you brought a memento, like one of those baby handprint makers.
Reply:well as far as I%26#039;m concerned everyone that Ive known has taken flowers,but to be safe why not a teddy for him an some sort of treat for her.
Reply:just in case i wouldnt bring them. can never be too careful, bring her something yummy instead.
Reply:Bring her a package of newborn diapers
