i have a friend who is going to be a first time mom in April. I would like to put together a basket of things for her and baby - natural things and definitely less commercial than your average gift. she is planning on breastfeeding, however she will have to resume work after 8 weeks so she'll be pumping and baby will be on the bottle when she goes back to work. edit: i forgot to mention that on her registry she put she wanted disposable breastpads. being that i have never breastfed (or mothered for that matter) i wasn't sure if these were more for convienence or something else. i'm not big on 'waste' and wondered if the reusable pads are better or what! thanks!!
if you could give some recommendations on things you think she and/or baby may benefit from in the first weeks (or longer) together - please share. Links to sites also appreciated!!
Thank you!
