Should I Take A Gift, If Going To See A Baby Who Was Born A Week Ago?
Its a coworker’s baby girl and I am not sure if this would be a right time to take a gift or not since arent the gifts supposed to be given at the baby shower and not after the baby is born? If I should then what would be a nice gift for a newborn baby girl 
Thanks.
You don’t, necessarily, have to bring a gift for the baby ~ your co-worker might prefer to have something for dinner. If you prepare the chicken salad, on link below, there will be enough for you and her family. All you need bring with this is a lettuce, a baguette and a few pieces of fresh fruit. I’ve prepared this recipe – it’s very good.
go ahead and take something if you want to.
I like the idea of taking dinner. Someone did that for me after my first child was born and it was awesome. If you do not cook, it could be a gift card or certificate for a local restaurant that delivers.
you could always go to the local store and walk up and down the baby isle and see what catches your eye. When my youngest niece was born I picked up a set of little sun suits since she was tiny and all her clothes were way too big. ANother idea would be a soft toy that she could play with in a few months. My daughter had a little beany baby type toy that had textured rubber on the paws ( for a teether). it was in her bassinet in the hospital and she used it for ages—then my youngest used it too.
you can absolutely take a gift. Not everyone gives gifts just at the shower. Lots of people give two gifts or just one when the baby arrives.
If she didn’t know the sex of the baby beforehand I would get some baby girl clothes or blankets/sheets because she probably doesn’t have a lot of nice pink things yet.
In anycase getting a little outfit is always lovely and nice to buy little girl things too! I bet you have trouble deciding which ONE to get!
Or you could put together a little hamper of baby products like wipes, powder, lotion, baby wash and don’t forget to include something for the mum too!
yes!
it’s a wonderful time to give a gift for mummy and a gift for her newborn.
here’s some ideas:
matching pink socks for mum and baby.
matching blankets for them both.
bubble bath for mum and baby bath for bubba.
i love the idea of matching gifts – it makes both feel special.
yes! of course you should take a gift, doesnt have to be anything extravagant, just a little minder, maybe a nice baby outfit, bibs, socks, babygros or photo frame, teddy bear, and a bunch of flowers for the mother, anything really its the thought that counts!
