25 Natural Gifts For The New Mom On Mother's Day | Do you know someone who'll be celebrating her first Mother's Day this year? From homemade crafts to nourishing foods to practical gear, these meaningful and natural gift ideas for the new mom are guaranteed to make her feel extra special! | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

It’s almost Mother’s Day!

And for the first time in my life, I can join the roll call. For the first time, I’m a mom!

Over the winter, with my son’s arrival mere months away, I steeped myself in natural baby gear and essentials. I researched for hours. And I didn’t stop there…

What about the 4th trimester — the immediate postpartum period? What would I need or want for that time of healing and sweetness and new challenges?

These natural items are the answer to that question, and I thought I would share them with you, too!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms and grandmas out there!

25 Natural Gifts For The New Mom This Mother’s Day

A few of these ideas are baby items that help a new mom out. Most, however, focus on the mom herself — to support and nourish and cherish her while she in turn cares for the new life she’s brought into the world.

#1 — Solly Baby Wrap

Nothing compares to snuggling with your baby and being hands-free! You can even nurse in a Solly Wrap (although I’ve yet to try it). I do, however, love taking walks in my wrap. The fabric is soft and the colors are beautiful. Click here for more info about Solly Baby Wraps.

Our son loves being up and looking around. His favorite position is the “burping position” — head bobbing over my shoulder as he tries to hold it up by himself. This chair means tired mama arms get a break but baby still gets to participate in the big new exciting world! Click here for more info about the BABYBJORN Bouncer Chair.

#3 — Blessed Nest Organic Cotton Nursing Pillow
