best baby shower gifts first time mum

Did you receive any gifts during your pregnancy that were for you (not baby) and if so, what were they?
Yes, I was given a really nice hand moisturiser set.

What’s one thing you wish you had for baby that you didn’t buy?
Having a winter baby, I really wanted a wipes warmer but couldn’t get one locally. I had to get creative when changing nappies in the middle of the night!

Were you gifted anything for baby that you never got around to using?
We received heaps of nice size 0000 clothes, which we never got to use.

Now that you’re a Mum, what’s your ‘go to’ baby shower gift?
Boon pulp feeder, best thing I received and everyone loves this gift.

What about if you have a bigger budget e.g. baby shower gift for extra special friends or family members?
My sister in law wanted to breastfeed so I bought her a breastfeeding pillow. I WISH I had one of these in the hospital after my baby was born, would have made my life a million times easier.

I got my sister a membership to attend the Australian Breastfeeding Association classes. She really appreciated this.

A single tip for labour/delivery day
make sure your partner knows your wishes if for some reason you are unable to advocate for yourself
