I think these make a change from the usual flowers and chocolates, don't you? And if mum is going to breast feed, champagne is a no-no!  You might also want to get a little something for a soon-to-be-sibling too.  Caitlin was fascinated by Ieuan's arrival and had a cuddly toy to assuage any pique at being temporarily eclipsed in the attention stakes!

If budget is an issue, probably the most welcome gift of all is an offer to babysit, even if it is just to let the new parents have a coffee out together, or why not offer to help with something like the ironing while the new mum takes a well deserved nap?

For a new mum, sleep is the best gift of all!
