Offering to clean the house while they snuggle their newborn will be remembered and appreciated far more than any box of truffles.
A Midwife’s Final Thoughts
When it comes to Christmas gifts for new mums and babies, it’s not about how much you spend, it’s about thoughtfulness, time, and love. The most meaningful presents are those that make parents feel seen, supported, and cared for.
Wishing you and your loved ones a peaceful, joy-filled Christmas.
