Things New Moms Need

I’m not talking about things new moms need for baby or what diaper bag they should get. I’m talking about things new moms need for themselves.

While yes new moms may need all of the things for baby, but that is what a baby gift registry is for. What they don’t put on there is things new moms need for themselves.

So I’m here to give you some ideas of things new moms need that they will love and appreciate. Or if you are a new mom, try asking for some of these things.

Help

Now this may not come as a huge shock, but being a new mom is hard!

But chances are most new moms won’t ask for help. They will think they have to do it all.

You don’t.

So instead of asking just jump in and help. Whether it is washing the dishes for her, vacuuming the house, doing a load of laundry, holding the baby so she can shower.

I had a friend come over on her lunch break, bring me lunch and just hold my newborn so I could shower without worrying about the baby.

It was seriously the best thing I needed that I didn’t even realize that I needed. She just did it.

Instant Pot or Crockpot

Either one of these things would be a huge help to any new mom.

Personally I would choose the Instant Pot because most come with a crockpot option anyways.

This way the new mom can throw in any item they want to cook and have it done within 10 minutes.

Now the new mom doesn’t have to worry about cooking dinner when she’s caring for a newborn. Plus an Instant Pot she can use for a lifetime.

It’s truly the best gift and its something every new mom needs.

Journals

These things new moms need because so much happens during the day with a newborn.

While the newborn may be sleeping most of the day, it is still taxing for a new mom (or any mom) with the million of things going through their head.

Giving them a journal to write down their emotions, thoughts, to-do lists, things they need/want, or even just jot down things they want to remember in this newborn stage.

Candles

Candles can be a great item new moms need too!

A candle to help the new mom unwind and relax during the day. Candles have a calming aura about them.

Whether in a nice warm bubble bath or just having one in the living room can lift up a mood or relax an anxious new mom.

If you are not a candle type of person, you can opt for essential oils instead.

Instant Coffee Machine

Whether you love iced or hot coffee, having a machine instantly brew you a fresh cup of coffee is a heaven send to any new mama!

With late nights and lack of sleep everyone needs some coffee at some point during the day.

You can get a Keurig machine or Ninja brewer and either will make you a great cup (or batch) of coffee.

The Ninja coffee maker can make hot or iced coffee in seconds and has many accessories like a frother.

The Keurig machine you can use handy little K-cup pods to try all sorts of different blends, even teas!

I even used to use this little gadget to make my iced coffee in seconds even though I used my Keurig to brew it hot. Read more about how I did that here.

So no matter what type of drink the new mom loves, she needs an instant brewer to make her life easier.

Hopefully these items helped you think of things new moms need besides tons of diapers and cute baby clothes.
