Top 10...nope, 11 baby shower gifts!

So if you are in the phase of life where you are heading to quite a few baby showers, here is a list of my top 10 baby shower gifts! 

Having 2 kiddos myself and lucky to have 1 boy and 1 girl, I wanted to give you an idea of my TOP items for unique and VERY useful gifts for the momma-to-be in no particular order. 

1. Boppy Pillow - it's great for nursing and my husband loves it for holding the little one. 
2. Nipple Cream - I tried different coconut oil blends (which some were decent, some women swear by them), but ultimately could not live out good 'ol lanolin cream. It saved my cracked nipples numerous times!
3. Breast Milk Pads/Savers - the pads are great for random leakages (AND not getting the nipple cream all over my clothes and bras - it stains, fyi). The savers were perfect for, well you guessed it, saving leaking milk!
4. Baby Carriers - I've listed a few  here - a style for each type of new momma. Her arms, back, and sanity will thank you for this gift. Woven wrap - Ring Sling - Soft Sided Carrier (probably your best choice unless momma specified)
5. Swaddle Blankets - I use these for everything still with my 3 year old. Great for swaddling up that little squishy to a car blanket to a cover up. Light enough for summer and warm enough for winter, 
6. Sound Machine - this was a blessing in disguise, however both my kiddos fall asleep faster with it on. 
7. Toy/Pacifier Leashes - I have 2 attached to the carseat so when a toy, sippy cup, or paci gets thrown, it's not lost forever.
8. Sophie the Giraffe Teether - literally the BEST teether around....get 2....one will get lost and momma will cry.
9. Mani/Pedi Gift Certificate
10. Nerium Eye Serum or Hydrogel Eye Patches - let's help momma not look like death from the lack of sleep you know she isn't getting. 
11. Wine. Or rather Dark Beer! (it helps with milk production)

Yes they still need sheets, clothes, swings, carseats, decorations, and diapers - lots of diapers - all sizes! But hopefully this list will help you find something she might not know she needs!
