What should i do?????
It's common to receive gifts upon the birth of a baby. It's almost considered good ettiquette. The best gift of all: helping around the house. Not with the baby (don't ask to hold the baby, only accept if offered) but offer to help by doing dishes, etc.
Reply:It is always nice for a new mom to get gifts too. Maybe you could get the mommy a new robe or slippers or a gift basket of lotions and bubble baths. I also liked getting books about taking care of babies when i had mine. Just helping mommy take a nap or doing her laundry is sometimes the best gift to give
Reply:I think that is very sweet of you and I'm sure a small present will make her feel good. Maybe a little teddy bear for the baby.
Reply:I say let her rest I mean she know that you love and cherish her and her newborn I mean you've already shown that just let her rest for now!
Reply:I would say, at this point its not necessary to by the kid a gift, i would get something for your friend. Like an inexpensive pair of earrings. Or bring your friend and her husband dinner one night when the excitement has calmed down. she will certainly appreciate it.
Reply:She is not expecting anything else from you....other than endless compliments on her beautiful child. Skip the gift and take your camera instead. She'll appreciate the compliments and all the attention you give her and her new little one much more than she would another gift!!! It really may be overdoing it to bring another gift, too!!!





Just go enjoy the baby! And if you feel like you really need to do something for her....offer to run to the store for her on your way over, run her vacuum quickly while she changes the baby, or bring over a gift certificate to one of her favorite delivery places.
Reply:No its fine buy her another gift its perfectly okay.
Reply:you can never over do caring about your friends baby.
Reply:Just get the baby a gift! It's not over doing it, we are talking about a person coming into the world! Be very nice to the lucky parents, and remember that gifts aren't everything.


Get the baby a feeding bottle, clothes or a stuffed animal, etc.
Reply:Bring her a hot dinner for her and her family - call and find out what day would be best and what time.





Call her and tell her that you will be going grocery shopping and would she like to give you her list.





When you are visiting, load or empty the dishwasher or offer to hold the baby or change the bed linens while she takes a shower or bath.





Bring your camera over and take pix of her and baby then print and frame one.
Reply:no, you already had the shower
Reply:you don't have to get another present but it would probably be appreciated
Reply:it sounds as though you have already been very generous. Right now your friend will need emotional support and as much sleep as she can get. Be there for her in these ways!
Reply:What a good friend! I think you have already done more than enough. Just go visit and enjoy the new baby. Does she have other children? If so, I would take a small gift for the older child.
Reply:There's no need to buy another gift.
Reply:Maybe you and your other friends could all pitch in for a massage for Mommy, and offer to babysit??? After all of that hard work giving birth, anything relaxing is nice.
Reply:Do whatever will make you happy. I am sure she will appreciate anything you want to do, and certainly won't miss it if you choose to do nothing.





I recommend taking her over some food. Those precooked chickens and veggie/fruit/cheese platters work well, and are good for guests too, which there will likely be too many of.
Reply:Depends of how close of a friend you are. A nice gesture would be to help her with some things around the house, dishes, laundry or maybe cook her a meal. Other than that I think there is no more obligation to give her a gift. You have all ready done that!
