My friend just had a baby?
Don%26#039;t get flowers. When I gave birth to my son we had so much stuff to carry out of the hospital that we had to leave the flowers behind. I felt really guilty as people paid a lot of money to send us flowers, but we just didn%26#039;t have room in our car for them!





I would recommend something for when she returns home. She will be tired and need extra help. Have meals delivered to her, or something along those lines. The %26quot;best gift%26quot; I recieved post-partum was my husband%26#039;s coworker%26#039;s wife made us a big chicken pot pie dinner. It fed us for a couple of nights, and we didn%26#039;t have to cook. Another thing she might enjoy are some bath salts. She will be sore, and might enjoy a relaxing soak in the tub if she has time.
Reply:Personally, I would have loved to have dinner from a favorite restaurant brought in to me . That way her and her husband do not have to worry about what they are going to eat and him having to leave and get it.





I also enjoyed monogrammed items with the baby%26#039;s name or intitials on stuff. They work as a heirloom when the baby has outgrown the items.





If you don%26#039;t have a lot of money to spend, I would recommend letting the new mother know you are there for her when she is exhausted and needs a nap. Tell her you would love to sit for her and the baby when daddy goes back to work. New mothers love to take naps and showers( since they never get too, lol) !!!!
Reply:Wait until she%26#039;s home.





I get the feeling you%26#039;re talking about a younger mom, please don%26#039;t be insulted if this isn%26#039;t the case, but maybe get her a book of helpful hints for dealing with babies. There are a lot of them out there, and it could save her a lot of time and frustration later if she has something she can pull out and look information up in at four a.m. when the baby won%26#039;t stop crying.





Other ideas:


If she doesn%26#039;t have a camera, a low-end, reasonably priced digital camera (if she has a computer) would be much better than flowers.





A piece of jewelry with her baby%26#039;s birthstone in it.





Or any of the other suggestions made would be good as well.
Reply:I wouldn%26#039;t go with flowers. I would send balloons with a teddy bear or stuffed animal for the baby. Most florists have them. If you don%26#039;t know what hospital she%26#039;s at, just ask her, her family or a mutual friend.
Reply:I had a baby 7 months ago, out of all the stuff I got at the hospital my favorite was a pair of new pajamas. It was something for me %26amp; they came in handy in the following days.





Good Luck to your friend : )
Reply:I suggest getting something just for her..She has just gone through the hard process of giving birth, then pamper her with some fun bath stuff...Body washes and lotions bath beads..maybe things like that. Might help her feel more like herself again.
Reply:For your friend, any thing that picks her up! A cute shirt or outfit would definitely be a plus.
Reply:I liked when someone brought me food from a good place. Get her a little goody bag becuase it will be the last for a while
