Baby Showers-10 Unisex Gift Ideas

The term shower is often assumed to mean that the expectant mother is “showered” with gifts. In some countries, a baby shower is a way to celebrate the pending or recent birth of a child by presenting gifts to the mother at a party, whereas other cultures host a baby shower to celebrate the transformation of a woman into a mother.

There are various gift ideas to bring to a baby shower that the mother to be will appreciate having. Here are a few suggestions.

1. Nursing pads are ideal for every woman who has just had a child. Nursing pads can be washable or disposable. Now, these help in absorbing the milk, and avoiding unsightly patches on her blouse. Breast milk sometimes leaves marks on a mother’s blouse.
2. Nursing bra goes well with nursing pads. Some are fitted with a pocket to slip nursing pads into. Others come with a detachable strap that not only allows a mother to breastfeed her baby comfortably, it also ensures that everything is in place, in case you are in public.
