New Mom Holiday Gift Guide
The Fourth Trimester
This book is a must-have for any new mother. The Fourth Trimester is a guide through the postpartum journey, which is unfortunately fairly murky for many of us. The author is a doula, postpartum consultant, yoga teacher, body worker, and women’s health care advocate. She uses her experience to provide a roadmap for everything from facilitating postpartum healing to carrying your baby comfortably to exploring the complex emotions of transitioning into motherhood.

Loop Ear Plugs
One of the most stressful parts of new parenthood is listening to your baby cry and not knowing how to help them. Loop’s noise-reducing ear plugs can remove some of the stress from this situation, by lowering the volume of your baby’s cries while still allowing you to hear them. If your friend is sensitive to noise or is just having a tough time adjusting to her crying baby, these ear plugs would be a lifesaver of a holiday gift.
Find them on Amazon starting at $17.96
Neck Massager
I started using this neck massager long before I got pregnant to help with tension headaches, and it’s one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. The heated massage nodes really make a difference, and I love having the option to turn the speed up or down and reverse the direction of the nodes. This neck massager is perfect for pregnancy headaches and for tight neck and shoulder muscles from breastfeeding and holding a baby.

Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug
Never being able to finish your cup of coffee before it goes cold is one of those unfortunate initiations into parenthood. Enter Ember, a smart mug that allows you to control its temperature from your phone. Any new mom will appreciate always having a warm cup of coffee at hand as she settles into parenting life.
Find it on Amazon for $99.95
Weighted Blanket
Sleep is a luxury in any newborn parent’s life. Help your new mama friend get the most out of her ZZZs with a weighted blanket. The pressure that a weighted blanket provides helps the nervous system move into rest and digest mode, allowing for deeper, more restful sleep. This one comes in two different sizes, and you can choose between six weights, from 10 to 25 pounds.

Gold Mama Necklace
The new mom in your life may be rocking leggings and a messy bun every day. But you can help her add a little sparkle to her wardrobe with this beautiful gold “mama” necklace. She’ll love repping her new mama identity. And this necklace will go with any outfit, whether she’s staying in for the day or going on a date with her partner.
Find it on Etsy for $32.00
Bath Caddy
Sitz baths are essential to postpartum healing, but they’re not exactly glamorous. Change all that for your new mama friend with this bamboo bath caddy. She can easily read a book, sip some tea, or watch a show in peace while she soaks.
