Gifts expecting or new mums would be thrilled to receive
It can be hard to find the right gift for mums-to-be. After all, every woman is different and sometimes it can be hard to know what you’ll need before the baby arrives.
That said, there are some gifts that all new mums would appreciate.
Here are a few ideas that mums-to-be would be thrilled to receive.
1. A nursing pillow for support
“Does anyone have any advice on how to breastfeed without your arm dropping off?” said many a new mum.
Frequent long feeds can take a toll on your arms, back and neck, making you sore on top of the new-parent tiredness. That’s where the My Brest Friend Feeding Pillow – endorsed by the Australian Breastfeeding Association – comes in. And it makes a great gift for new mums!
The backrest helps maintain good posture, preventing sore backs and necks, while the wrap-around design secures to the body, helping mum and baby maintain ideal positioning and latch. Importantly, the flat front cushion keeps your baby from rolling.
An armrest gives extra support, and last but not least it has pockets – so you can hold your phone or TV remote close by.
The only decision left to make is which one of the beautiful patterns you like best.

2. A breast pump that fits in your handbag
Not being able to express breastmilk whenever and wherever you need can leave mums feeling isolated and at home with their breast pump – or worse, finish breastfeeding sooner than they would like.
Medela’s new state of the art double electric breast pump ticks all the boxes. Designed to fit into your life, the Freestyle Medela Flex™ Breast Pump is so compact and light – it can be stored in your handbag!
From home to gym or work, the Freestyle Medela Flex™ makes the perfect gift for mums on the go.
A USB charger means this breast pump can be charged wherever you charge your phone so it will be ready to go when you are, without compromising on pumping performance or comfort.
The improved breast shields yield more milk in less time and incorporate overflow protection (a closed-system), tested by scientists with the help of breastfeeding mums.

3. A bedside crib
Keeping a close eye on your newborn is a must for most parents. Giving them a comfortable and safe sleep space is also vital.
The Shnuggle Air innovative Crib-to-Cot sleep system gives your baby a safe, close and cosy sleep space from birth and beyond. Featuring dual-view, breathable mesh sides and adjustable legs to help you find a suitable height for secure attachment to your bed.
Included with the crib is the Shnuggle Air Crib Air-flow Mattress, which is 50% more breathable than standard foam mattresses. Made from a hypo-allergenic fibre that promotes airflow through the mattress, helping reduce the risk of baby overheating.
When the time comes to move your baby to their own room, the Shnuggle Air Bedside Crib can be converted into a cot with the Shnuggle Air Cot Conversion Kit. The cot is suitable until approximately two years of age, making the transition from crib to cot a lot easier.

5. Natural baby skin care products
Parents are more conscious than ever when it comes to what they’re putting on their baby’s skin – and for a good reason. A baby’s delicate skin is sensitive to chemicals, so finding the right skincare is really important.
Aromababy is the answer parents have been looking for. Since 1994 this natural skincare company has been used in select hospitals and boasts a long history of safety – importantly offering peace of mind in helping parents care for their baby’s skin in the most natural way possible.
If you had to choose just one product, Aromababy’s Barrier Balm – with its cult-like following – contains organic evening primrose and calendula oils to help care for a wide range of skin concerns. A trusted ‘go to’ product, it has been used on cradle cap, for nappy rash care, bites, sunburn, as a lip balm and even eczema over the past two and a half decades.
