Most of us feel like we have nothing to wear for 9+ months of pregnancy. Those immediate postpartum weeks can leave new mums feeling like we can't even remember how to get dressed, and if we can, like nothing fits our postpartum bodies or our new lives. It can feel overwhelming. Gift her the chance to try out some new outfits that fit this season of life with a For The Creators Membership.

Some people like to make or gift nourishing food to support new parents. Other options include gifts that will help a new mum relax and rest, like skincare and cosy items like eye masks and socks. You can also 'gift' your time and help out by doing the washing up, changing the sheets or holding the baby while the new mum takes a shower.
Wait until you're invited by the new parents. They'll let you know when they are ready for visitors. We wouldn't recommend ever dropping by unannounced in those early postpartum weeks!
Always bring food! You could bring snacks for the new mama, lunch for you both to eat together or a meal for the new parents to have that evening.
Wondering that new mums really need the most? While thoughtful gifts and nourishing snacks will definitely be appreciated, new mums need the support of their friends and family the most. Try to look after your friend, emotionally - by listening to her talk about her birth experience, for example - and practically, so she can focus on recovery and caring for her newborn.
