When do you become a mother? Is it from the moment you first realise you’re pregnant, when you feel the initial flutters of your baby moving around or from when you hold them in your arms for the first time? It’s something that differs from person to person, but we’d say whether your partner/friend/sister is pregnant or has just recently given birth, they deserve to be celebrated.
The thing about becoming a parent is that as soon as baby arrives (and beforehand, too, at things like their baby shower), they are automatically and immediately centre of attention when it comes to being spoiled by relatives and friends. As it should be, of course. We reckon, though, that the superhumans who have actually grown and birthed this new person deserve a hell of a lot of spoiling too.
Maybe she’s a beauty fan who’ll love some luxurious creams and lotions to soothe and nourish. Perhaps they could do with a massage gun to ease a sore back, a beautiful scented candle to fill their home with (more) joy or a flower delivery to brighten up their day.
Cosy, fluffy dressing gowns and throw blankets always go down a treat no matter the time of year – or how about a gorgeous piece of jewellery to remind them of this special time forever? And of course, food deliveries are always welcome for new mums and mums to be alike – no one wants to be faffing about in the kitchen when there’s a little one to play with.
We’re also loving the new home management service Bother and their Parenting Bundles. Delivering everything you need for the new baby including nappies, wipes, cotton wool, lotion and Sudocrem, it’s the perfect gift. Designed to ensure that new parents are always stocked up on the essentials, it means that they’ll have more time to focus on their newborn. There’s even an eco-version, too.
If you want to get her something more practical, a breast pump like Medela’s Freestyle Flex could be just the ticket. The Freestyle Flex is certainly gaining an all-star fan base having also been the pump of choice for Paloma Faith, Millie Mackintosh, Lucy Mecklenburgh and Kate Lawler.
The innovative pump is lightweight and simple to use, whilst including smart technology which also cleverly connects to the MyMedela app, helping to track progress and patterns. It easily charges via USB, providing up to 2 hours on a single charge – ideal for flexibility fitting into busy mums’ lives. The soft and flexible rim is clinically proven to get 11% more milk. Handy!
Perhaps a chic changing bag like this bowling style from Mamas & Papas would be a good idea? Designed to coordinate with most Mamas & Papas pushchairs, it can be worn as a backpack or over the shoulder thanks to the adjustable strap plus it includes a removable bottle holder and changing mat. What more could you want? Mamas & Papas know their stuff.
