My brother had a newborn daughter, and we went to shop to buy layette gifts for her. At first we thought that to buy the gifts for newborns is easily. Actually, it is not easy to choose the right gift. We wanted to give something practical, beautiful and for a long time. At first, we focus on sets for infants, which include diapers, undershirts, and caps. Today you can buy such beautiful set! But we decided this is too few for our nice baby. We decided do add something more. Such gifts as a blanket, envelopes are very practical. So the blanket for growth is a good gift.
Good idea is the things that will be needed in caring for the baby. This may be soap for bathing, heating pad for bottles, sterilizer for bottles. It can be various children's cream and talcum powder, oil for baby skin, gentle soaps and shampoos. You can donate a highchair or walker. You may think: why does newborn baby need a highchair - he is still too small! But infants grow up very fast! Young family will spend time in search of this useful thing just in a half-year. It would be better if they have it given by caring friends.
Toys are good gifts for babies: a carousel over the bed, a set of rattles, soft toys for bathing. Weeble is one of the most traditional and useful layette gifts at the same time. Pediatricians advise to use this baby doll with melodic (not hollow) ring. Dolls develop motor coordination of children and cause them to actively try to crawl. Neurologist also noted the benefit of these dolls: playing with them, the child actively involves all parts of the brain. All these things can be gathered in the layette gift basket; it's good and right choice for those who go to visit the young mother and her newborn child. Given gifts for infants is best after a month of his birth. Before that, doctors do not advise coming to visit the house with a small child. Firstly, it is necessary to give mom time to move away after delivery, and secondly, the child should get stronger and get used to the nonsterile conditions of existence in our world. The invasion of new people means the emergence of new germs, so such visits are not desirable soon after the birth.
