Having a newborn child is exciting and a time of love and family togetherness, but bringing a new baby into the family also means having the right items for the newborn, some for the baby to wear or use, and others for the parents’ benefit. Cashmere baby gifts, for example, may include a blanket, a cashmere baby wrap, a baby cashmere set of clothes, or similar fabrics for the newborn, or even cashmere bedding or hats. Cashmere baby gifts can be very comfortable for a newborn, and first time mother gifts may expand to include supplies the parents will need for their child, such as a breastfeeding wrap, diapers, a baby monitor, or more. Sentimental items can be bought for the parents, too. Motherhood is something widely celebrated, and many gift ideas are out there for new parents.
New Parenthood
Cashmere baby gifts like blankets or hats, and supplies like diapers or a baby monitor, are great for parents, and statistics show just how often parents might need help with getting everything together for the new baby. Within the last ten years, for example, the number of new mothers in the United States has gone up. As of 2006, for example, a single woman had, on average, 1.82 children, and by 2016, that figure climbed to 2.07 children. Often, these mothers are working, too; in 46% of two-parent households, both parents are currently working, and often, these are younger parents. It has been found that only 35% of women who have babies today are over the age of 30, and these younger parents in their 20s or even their teens may be somewhat overwhelmed by new parenthood, and many new parents would greatly appreciate friends and family helping them with a baby shower.
Baby Gifts
What should friend and family members give to new parents? Cashmere baby gifts may rank among the more luxurious items that a baby may get, and this can include blankets, clothing, hats, or bedding that will be soft and warm, something that a baby would definitely appreciate. A baby blanket set of different colors or patterns can be a part of cashmere baby gifts, and can also be made of cotton or wool of the gift sender wants, or the material may be based on the mother’s request. New parents should note, though, that when babies go to sleep for the night, it is rare to have the blankets or even pillows or stuffed toys in the crib with them, as they can pose suffocation hazards. Instead, it is common for parents to have only the bedding surface’s fabric in place and the baby’s clothes and hat, and this way the baby is in no danger. During the day, when parents are there to supervise, a baby may have its stuffed animals, blankets, and other items with it.
What else might a new mom expect at a baby shower? She may get supplies like baby bottles, diapers, and more from friends and family, and she might even get a whole tote bag that can be slung over the shoulder. The mom can put all kinds of baby-related supplies in it, making things very convenient when the mother is out and about with her baby. Similarly, the mother may get a baby feeding sling, new fathers can make use of a simple baby carrying sling for everyday life. Larger gifts may also include a stroller or even the crib itself, if someone in the baby shower party knows where to get a good one.
The parents might also receive sentimental items for the last few weeks of the mother’s pregnancy or for after the baby is born. For example, the parents might get a set of colorful blocks that count down the days until the expected due date, or they may get a kit of paper and ink that allows them to take the baby’s footprints and write the date. The parents could also receive baby-themed photograph frames for pictures of the baby alone and with its parents. The new parents may also receive decorations to put in the baby’s room, ranging from wallpaper to a mobile over the crib to stuffed animals or a dresser unit painted baby blue or pink.
