Many of you think that celebrating a baby's birth is essential - no matter how many siblings precede them. But, guests often wonder what to bring to such a party as the mom is already outfitted with swings, high chairs and strollers. A friend of mine is expecting her fourth child and was recently showered with gifts that have aptly prepared her for the next birth. Check out my slideshow to see what moms of multiples may need for their next delivery!

LilSugar — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 10:00:40 -0800

The folks at Wry Baby are no strangers to creating fun and quirky clothes for newborns. But for 2008, they are expanding their wit to adult products with this fabulous pillowcase set ($30) for new parents.

How many times have you pretended to be asleep so your partner would tend to your crying tot and you could sneak a few extra minutes of sleep? These reversible pillowcases will let your spouse know that you are “off-duty” when the 3 a.m. feeding rolls around without ever having to open your eyes or mouth.

Prior to these pillowcases, how did you and your partner decide who woke up with your babe?

Moms often get short changed during the holidays because they are busy pampering everyone else. Make sure the woman who brought you into the world and reared you into adulthood is spoiled rotten with love, affection, and incredible thoughtfulness.

SpaFinder.com has relationships with spas all over the country. Get her a gift certificate that she can use whenever, wherever, and for whatever she wants.
To keep her feeling pretty, Chanel has a 2007 Holiday Gift Makeup Package full of yummy pinks and rich bronzes. Chanel just has a way of making us women feel all nice and purty.

Like most moms, your mom probably worries about those pesky wrinkles and bags under her eyes. Rather than giving her botox, give her the practical gift of fabulous Fendi sunglasses. She can hide those slight but lovable imperfections and keep new ones from forming.
After the holiday hullabaloo, good ole' mom will just want to kick back and relax. To help her do that, give her a cozy, flannel nightshirt from Old Navy and a fuzzy set of UGG slippers to retire in. Maybe by the time 2008 rolls around, she'll be ready for regular clothes again.

babysugar — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 04:00:07 -0800

It's hard to find anyone more deserving of pampering this holiday season than the expectant mother. Before she welcomes a babe into her arms, the bumpalicious lady will appreciate being gifted with these generous gifts.

A gift certificate to a prenatal massage will help mommy relax while giving the baby some motion in the amniotic ocean. Help the mommy keep her picture perfect tummy with the Mama Mio Tummy Rub Stretch Mark Butter. She'll be able to tell you all about her pregnancy but her stomach will have no signs of the nine months. Give her a head start on her postpartum meals with a gift certificate to a meal delivery service. She won't be able to thank you enough for the ability to sit back and eat instead of stewing over the stove. And if you're feeling really lavish, treat the pregnant lady to a digital Nikon camera. The photo quality is delicious and she can snap away at her new beauty all day long.

The Gifted Child: Gifts For a Newborn Baby Girl

babysugar — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 12:30:27 -0800

While many of the gifts we recommend for baby boy are also suited for baby girls, there are a specific few that we know some wee lasses and their moms will adore. Girly girls will look oh-so-cute in a tiny tutu while a Zooni topper is sure to keep her wee noggin warm and fashionable. While they may not be ready to mount it right away, tiny tots will keep moving on up on a plush rocking horse that is sure to grow on them. Babes ready to tug something along will delight in a wooden pull toy while brand new birds will be mesmerized by a modern mobile hanging over their sleepy heads. For those that have a good sense of humor, the Heelarious cowgirl crib boots will have Santa's jolly old belly rolling with laughter. Be careful lil doggies - hearts will be spurring all over town.

babysugar — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 13:00:50 -0700

What's up with the babies hauling it through a crosswalk on all fours? They're heading to Washington to speak up, er, babble, for their rights! Many moms agree that the best gift we can give our children is a better, greener, healthier Earth. As the green movement continues to grow, so do the eco-friendly options available to mums. The baby line Seventh Generation churns out environmentally conscience products for wee ones but they are also active in changing legislation to demand higher protection for our lil guys. In an effort to raise awareness for toxic chemical policy reform, they are sponsoring the Seventh Generation Million Baby Crawl.

Mommies who want to sign their baby up for the "crawl" can do so with a few simple clicks. The animated babe can be personalized with skin color and a pastel onesie. Friends, families and total strangers can come onto the site and click on the lil movers to support their cause. The goal is to get one million crawlers onto the grassy screen. So join the troops and get those booties, er, diapers shakin'! Just say "no" to toxic chemicals in the home.

What Do You Prefer: Newborn Gift or Fresh Dinner?

babysugar — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 08:00:18 -0700

Pop the cork - the baby has arrived! Celebrating the newborn life often begins with balloons, bubbly, blooms and a written sentiment or two. When the visitors start arriving at the new family's doorstep, they often come bearing gifts of layette, blankets or tiny toppers. Others show up with trays full of lasagna and other prepared meals so that the recovering mama can focus on her newest addition instead of the messy kitchen. Obviously both are appreciated and icing on the cake, but which type of gift do you think most mums prefer?
