Making a Care Package for a New Mom? Here's What You Could Include
Have you been trying to think of a way to show the new mom in your life some love? If so, we have a suggestion for you: Send her a postpartum care package. While in-person visits are always appreciated, they can be tough to coordinate with a newborn in the mix. (Particularly if you don’t live in the same city as the new mama!) That’s why we can't overlook the value of sending over a useful postpartum recovery gift with mama in mind.
A care package is a perfect token of support for a new mom. After all, she won't have tons of time to go out and pick up items on her own, and she'll be so wrapped up in caring for her little one, she may forget to take care of herself. And that's where you come in! Putting together a thoughtful bundle of gifts is a simple gesture any new mama will appreciate.
Of course, a new mom care package is only as good as its contents. Any of these items would make amazing additions to her postpartum care package.
1. A Cute Water BottleHydration is so important when you're feeding/changing/burping a baby around the clock, and a huge water bottle like this one will make it so much easier for a mama to stay hydrated. Opt for a large bottle that keeps water cold. That way, she'll probably only need to fill it once or twice a day, meaning she can stay put and enjoy even more of those baby snuggles. BKR and S’well make gorgeously designed bottles that will give a new mom that little bit of luxury she deserves.
2. Luxurious Hand CreamNew moms tend to wash their hands a lot, which can seriously dry out that delicate skin. A high-quality hand cream may be just what she needs to keep her hands hydrated through bottle sterilization, baby bath time, and all the diaper changes. We love this dreamy hand cream from L’Occitane for intense hydration, and this CeraVe pick is fragrance-free and gentle on Baby's sensitive skin.
3. Loungewear
