Practically Perfect Baby Shower Gifts
customize your own Practical Baby Shower Gift to Care for Mom
Let’s get real, the road to becoming a mom is no picnic. We put our bodies through the wringer from conception to birth and beyond. And while every journey is different, there are certain harsh realities that accompany us all. Good news! There are a plethora of products to alleviate those prenatal and postpartum woes to help mama prepare for the unexpected. It’s beautiful, its natural, but it’s a “B word”! But we’ve got you covered from bump to birth to baby with all the practical baby shower gifts to set mama up for success.
Curate-your-own customized baby shower gift filled with practical items for mom and baby.
As moms ourselves, we remember getting a ton of practical baby shower gifts to help us care for our little one, but what we didn’t realize until after we had our babies was that we, as the mama, would need lots of care ourselves! So we’ve stocked Nurtured 9 with practical baby shower gifts for the postpartum mama, too! Help mom perpare herself for postpartum recovery, because you don’t fully know…until you know!
labor and C-Section Recovery
While Mama learns to care for her new baby, she’ll also be recovering from labor or surgery, which makes those first few days and weeks especially exhausting! We’ve curated the best, most luxe versions of those crucial postpartum care items that we know Mom needs to heal: an herbal sitz bath, mesh postpartum boy shorts, perineal gel packs, perineal spray, peri bottle, and c-section recovery briefs.
Nursing Essentials
From soothing organic nipple butter to delicious lactation cookies and lactation teas to beautiful nursing covers and nursing wraps that offer a little more privacy, and finally, beautiful water bottles so a breastfeeding Mom can stay hydrated, we’ve got tons of helpful gifts that’ll help Mama care for herself while breastfeeding.
Why New Moms Will Love It:
If you’re choosing to breastfeed your baby, you will definitely need nipple butter to soothe your dry, cracked, and irritated skin (take our word for it!). This moisturizing nipple butter from Earth Mama is 100% organic and safe for baby, plus it’s a true multi-tasker…rub it onto any dry patches (lips, elbows, cuticles) for instant relief! Bring it with you to the hospital so you’re ready as soon as baby makes his or her debut.
Product Description:
This soothing Earth Mama Organic Nipple Butter is buttery and botanical-rich, lanolin-free, and non-sticky. It moisturizes dry skin, and brings your nipples back to their happy place. And since it just might end up in baby’s mouth, it’s Non GMO Project Verified. So there’s no need to wash it off before nursing!
A Quick How-To:
Apply this natural nipple balm after each feeding or as needed — and feel free to slather liberally on flanges for a more comfortable pumping experience. Other places to slather it: on lips, cheeks, heels, cuticles and elbows.
Dermatologist tested and clinically tested for irritation.
NO petroleum, parabens, or lanolin.

Why New Moms Will Love It:
The All-in-One nursing cover...elevated! More silky, more stretchy, more stylish, and more practical! Our Nurtured 9 all-in-one nursing cover ticks all the boxes of a traditional nursing and stroller cover, but with a chic poncho style and a convenient double pocket—one for phone or snacks, and a mini for a pacifier, so that everything she needs for an on-the-fly feeding is at her fingertips. If she’s a breastfeeding Mama, the beautiful, luxe Nurtured 9 all-in-one nursing cover provides privacy so she can feel much more comfortable feeding her baby wherever the day has taken her. (Because when baby’s hungry, all errands and activities come to an abrupt stop!) The cover also fits beautifully over baby’s car seat, so a walk in the park doesn’t mean sunshine (or wind!) in baby’s sweet little face. Plus, the neutral and classic stripe is a chic and timeless design that complements any Mom & baby style.
“I absolutely love the nursing cover. The fabric is extremely soft and lightweight without being sheer. I appreciate the coverage in the back as well that I have not experienced in other nursing covers. It provides privacy while nursing and allows me to still be able to visualize my daughter’s latch. The pockets for my phone and pacifier are amazing and help me keep track of my things. The overall look of the cover is extremely stylish and I loved incorporating it into my outfit.” - Rachelle K., Tucson, AZ
