Baby Necessities

Giving the gift of baby necessities to expectant and new parents is such a practical way of welcoming a newborn. To help you make the gift a more creative one you can write little phrases in the card. There are plenty of items to choose from so I've broken them down into categories and given a little phrase for each!

Pacifier and Cover/Container - Even for parents who aren't planning to use a pacifier, having one to hand if colic is keeping the newborn (and the new parents) up all night is an absolute godsend. You could put "for stopping those all night screaming episodes" on the card. A tip for those who haven't bought one before is to look for the really small ones if you are buying for a newborn. They very often hit the newborn's nose while the baby is sucking it.

Pacifier Holder/Clip - These are only really necessary for parents who plan to use a pacifier. They are, in my opinion, one of the most simple yet effective inventions for babies. If you've never seen one, they basically attach the pacifier to the baby's clothes on a short plastic chain. Your phrase could read "in place of that extra pair of hands you might need".

Other items you may consider buying for expectant and new parents include Baby Feeding Necessities , Baby Toiletries or Newborn Clothing and Diaper Necessities .
