As a veteran Mom of 7, I love going to a first time Mom’s baby shower! It’s so exciting and sweet to see them looking forward to their first child, scared about the unknown, but knowing it’ll be one of the best things they’ll ever go through. And I can use my experience with multiple children to help gift products and services that a new Mom will actually need and be happy to use. I’m not putting down those cute dresses, baby Sunday suits, or anything like that!! But most Moms get given enough of those to keep the baby clothed for several months straight. So I try to find other gifts that I loved to use with my babies and hope they can enjoy them as well. Here are a list of baby shower gift ideas that I try to purchase when it’s time for a shower.
Momcozy
Momcozy is committed to supporting new moms on their important motherhood journey. We understand that modern life can be hectic, even more so when a new baby arrives on the scene and breastfeeding begins. We wanted to help, so we set about creating breastfeeding products and accessories that make life much more convenient and less stressful for moms everywhere.
Founded by Atena Pan, Momcozy is passionate about creating the highest quality products at affordable prices because it’s only natural that moms want the best for their babies. After extensive research, feedback, and conversations with breastfeeding moms, we had a clear understanding of the type of products new parents want – safe products that work super efficiently; save time; allow mothers to multi-task; and, overall, products that make life less stressful and more comfortable.
Above all, we’re proud to make products that moms recommend to other moms. Their seal of approval means the world to us. Their feedback is invaluable and allows us to create innovative products with clever design features that benefit moms and their little ones. Our goal is to reach as many moms as we can because our mission is to do whatever we can to help.
Some of our favorite new mom items:
Carryall Breast Pumps & Diapers Bag
This carryall diaper bag has large pockets and a generous area to change diapers, store wet clothes, breast pump, even your wallet and tablet. The waterproof outer shell protects the contents from the elements (and from leaking out). There are several insulated pockets which help to keep liquids warm or cold until needed. It is an oversize bag that has enough room for the essentials needed when you are out with your baby.
Momcozy Portable Waterproof Diaper Changing Pad
This waterproof changing pad is perfect for those times where there isn’t a clean place to change baby. The pad folds up and has mesh pockets so it can hold changing supplies for those quick trips too.
Baby Monthly Milestone Blanket
This over sized blanket makes recording baby pictures and milestones easy. It is made from a thick double layered material which makes the blanket super soft and comfy.
Set includes several props to assist in taking those precious photos.
Foldable Bottle Drying Rack
This drying rack holds everything in one place after cleaning. Easy to use and it folds flat for storage or when traveling.
Momcozy Mint Electric Baby Nail File with LED Light
Keeping those little nails trimmed short and smooth has never been easier than with this nail file. The unit has a LED light so you can see exactly where you are trimming.
My Thoughts:
What new Mom doesn’t need a well designed bag to hold a breast pump, the accessories to go with it, diapers, supplies, and even a book or laptop? Oh yeah, you know it’s true. I love how the Carryall Breast Pumps & Diapers Bag is meant to logically hold everything a new Mom (or Dad) could need in one neat place. There are pockets, slots, and all kinds of spots to hold whatever you need. Plus it comes with stroller straps so you don’t have to carry it if you’re walking with the stroller. I think these are great for busy Moms that need to pump for their baby but still get out and about, whether to the store, back to work, or just running daily errands. They can have everything they need right in one place.
I quickly found after my first two babies that not every public place offers a changing table, and even less offer one I’d gladly lay my child on while I changed their diaper! But add in a protective barrier like the Momcozy Portable Waterproof Diaper Changing Pad and we’re good to go! Whether I have to slap it done on the changing table in the public restroom or even on the floor or in my backseat, my child is safe and protected and so is the surface they’re being changed on. And it cleans up really easy since it’s waterproof; it also has mesh pockets to hold supplies for when we’re just running to a single store!
All parents take a ton of pictures of their baby, right? And today’s parents are adding backdrops, accessories, chalkboards with cute notes or the date on it. So why not use this adorable Baby Monthly Milestone Blanket? It makes it super easy to mark the milestone right in the picture, plus the blanket is soft and snuggly. And they also add a few props to use on your baby in the pictures to make it that much more special. What a great idea!
And the endless struggle of making sure to have clean bottles ready to be used, around the clock! I found myself washing bottles at least twice a day, usually in a large bath during one of the baby’s naps. This Foldable Bottle Drying Rack is great to hold everything in place so it can dry before I have to use it again. It’s got a great foldable design so I can put it away when I’m done with it or need to take it with us when we travel. It sits right by the sink and I can organize my bottles and accessories neatly.
One gift I always try to include, based on my own experiences, is the Momcozy Mint Electric Baby Nail File with LED Light. I was always scared to trim my baby’s nails until an older woman showed me how to do it without being nervous or hurting my baby. This file comes with a LED light so you can see exactly what you’re doing. I suggest doing it while they are napping if you can, or maybe when someone else is feeding them so they are calm and more likely to ignore what you’re doing. This is great to keep on the changing table or pop into your diaper bag in case you need it on the go.
Whether you’re looking for a single gift or want to put together a basket of goodies for that new Mom, be sure to check out these products from Momcozy. These are my “go to” favorites that I specifically like to buy for those first time Moms, but honestly, I would have appreciated anything an experienced Mom told me she relied on when she was in my position. There are so many gadgets and tools that it can be hard to decide which ones sound neat and which ones are actually useful. I hope this list of baby shower gift ideas helps you when it’s time to purchase your own gifts for the Mom and new baby.
