Shop now at Amazon From Amazon This easy to use seat allows you to turn any chair or hard surface into a safe and comfortable seat for your baby. It is perfect for camping, beach days, or travel, and can also be used on an every day basis. I have one of these booster seats for my almost-two year old and we use it every single day. It is so convenient, it has replaced our high chair entirely! When we are at home we sit him on top of a regular chair, or even on top of the kitchen table in his booster seat. When we travel, this seat is so easy to fold up and take along for the ride. It has become one of his favorite things as well, he loves to sit in it and play with his toys or munch on his snacks. Summer Infant also sells a high chair version of the Pop N Sit. .

Shop now at Amazon From Amazon Baltic amber necklaces are amazing for teething babies. Baltic amber contains succinic acid, which when warmed against baby’s skin acts as as a mild anti-inflammatory pain reliever. These baltic amber necklaces from Little Willard are lab tested for authenticity and succinic acid content. They are raw amber, which has been shown to be more effective than polished beads. They come in three colors – Lemon, Honey and Cognac – and are gender neutral. I have personally used raw baltic amber with my little one and have found it to be extremely effective since he started teething. When shopping for amber necklaces, keep in mind that the lighter colors and raw amber are more affective than dark, polished beads.

Shop now at Amazon From Amazon Headphones may seem like an unconventional gift for pregnant women, but they can actually end up being one of the most appreciated gifts she will receive at her baby shower. A good set of headphones is a luxury that most new moms will not purchase for themselves, but can make a major impact during both childbirth and in the weeks and months of new parenthood.
These earbuds are made for athletes, so they have features that new oms will appreciate as well – they are sweat proof, never fall out of your ears, noise-cancelling, and bluetooth enabled. In my personal experience, I had earbuds in listening to calming sounds for my entire 12 hour labor. I used regular wired earbuds and they kept falling out of my ears – A major distraction! These bluetooth-enabled earbuds would have been a much better choice. After baby is born, new mothers can use these earbuds for hands-free listening while nursing or to enjoy music or audio books while the little one is asleep.

Shop now at Amazon From Amazon Proper nutrition is so important during pregnancy, and prenatal vitamins are recommended for every pregnant woman to make sure that her baby gets everything he or she needs, without “robbing” mom of her own nutrient stores. A quality prenatal vitamin can be pricey though, especially one made of all organic and raw ingredients – making it the perfect gift that a mom-to-be will really appreciate. This raw prenatal from Garden of Life is my favorite.
It contains all of the nutrients we need for building babies, and is made from natural and raw ingredients, not synthesized in a lab. Using natural fruits and vegetables makes vitamins much more palatable and less likely to aggravate morning sickness. This vitamin is also great for rebuilding and restoring nutrient stores after baby is born, and supporting a healthy milk supply. (Note – this product is vegetarian, but not vegan due to Vitamin D derived from lanolin)

Baby gates provide a sense of security for parents, letting them feel safe knowing that their baby or small child cannot get to the stairs, a ledge, or any other hazardous place in the house.

This bab gate is simple to use, locking automatically with a simple push. It fits doorways or other openings between 29.5 to 25 inches, and is 29.5 inches tall.

Shop now at Amazon From Amazon My Breast Friend is the best nursing support pillow on the market. Breastfeeding moms are in constant need of support for their back and arms while they nurse their babies. It can get extremely painful and tiring to try and hold a baby up in the right position to nurse, while also sitting up straight yourself. The same can be said for pumping, which often requires you to lean over in uncomfortable positions to get the right position o your breast pump.
Expecting moms often find themselves surrounded by a sea of pillows in their efforts to find the perfect nursing support. My Breast Friend takes the place of four or five regular pillows by giving moms 360 degree support for their back, arms and baby. It has a secure clasp to keep it in place while in use, and even has a water bottle holder to make sure she always has hydration nearby, which is so important while nursing. You can choose from 18 different fabric colors and patterns. Even if this is not something she specifically requested for her shower, she will appreciate this gift so much in the coming months!

Shop now at Amazon From Amazon Pregnant women have a lot of aches and pains, especially in the last trimester. As our bodies grow and stretch, there can be a lot of stress and tension in joints, muscles and ligaments. Even laying down can hurt, as it puts pressure on her sore hips and her heavy belly pulls her back and abdomen down into the bed with it. Proper support in bed is so important for pregnant women. They need to be supported completely around their body – from their head and neck all the way down their back, belly and hips. Instead of trying to configure four or five pillows under and around her body to try and get comfortable (only to shift and move in the night!), this total body pillow from Leachco makes it simple, easy and comfortable to rest while pregnant. It supports every part of her body and can even be used as a wrap-around nursing pillow after baby is born. She will love you if you get this for her in her second or third trimester! The pillow comes in six colors so you can choose one to match her decor.

Shop now at Amazon From Amazon If there is one thing that all nursing moms have in commom it is the fact that at some point, maybe sooner or maybe later, she will have sore nipples. Sore nipples happen for a variety of reasons, from just getting used to nursing in the first weeks of baby’s life, to thrush, tongue ties and more. Whatever the reason, they make it incredibly uncomfortable to wear nursing bras or any clothes at all. These breast shells from Avent are so helpful because they keep the nipple protcted while still allowing the flow of air around her skin. They also collect extra milk if she has issues with leakage, and their rounded shape makes them hard to spot under clothing. To go along with the shields you can also get her a set of Soothies Gel Pads for pain relief and friction prevention, as well as a hard carrying case for the nipple shields. This may be a more unusual gift but believe me, she will appreciate it!
