help?

i have a small request: a girl in my course just gave birth to a baby girl last week, and i want to give her an appropriate gift - but really want it to be useful. since i have so many excellent mothers who read this blog, would you mind suggesting something? what was it you really needed those first few weeks?

dinner.

if she has other kids, which she probably doesn't, then take her child for the afternoon and do something fun with him/her.

if not, the only thing you can really use the first few weeks is diapers and sleep. i like to give baby girls a dress in size 9-18 months or something. they can't use it right away, but one day, when the baby's chubby and maybe standing up, she'll look so cute in the dress you picked out. :)
