          • With a new baby who wakes up every two hours all night long (or more), the mom will need all the help she can get in order to function during the day. While coffee is effective at increasing energy levels, consuming too much can have the reverse effect, and end up keeping her awake during times when she could be getting rest.

          • Neuro gum and mints are unique gifts for new moms that offer a great alternative to coffee. Neuro’s products contain a proprietary nootropic caffeine + L theanine blend with B6 and B12 vitamins. With just 40mg of caffeine per piece, it provides just the right amount of energy needed to push through the day.

She’ll appreciate having something to kick her feet up in while nursing or rocking the baby back to sleep! 

        6. Gift Card for a Massage

          • New moms are constantly being pulled in a million directions. Between breastfeeding, changing diapers, keeping the house in order and figuring out what to eat for dinner, it can take an emotional toll on her body. With so much going on, the last thing she is probably concerned about is self care.

          • Some moms feel guilty setting up a spa service for themselves, so give her a guilt-free experience she’ll love with a gift certificate for a massage. If you want to go the extra mile, make your new mom gift even more special by offering to come over to babysit!

          7. Luxurious Bathrobe 

            • With no regular routine in those first few weeks, new moms sometimes just want to feel comfortable.
