8. Swings or Cradle Swings
They have something called a cradle swing now that the baby can lie in and swing. Check out this review of the Fisher-Price Cradle ‘N Swing. They also have the original swings for older babies. My children loved to sit and swing and watch me do housework. Shop cradle swings now!

11. Audio Monitors
Listening in on baby while they sleep gives parents peace of mind especially if they are hard sleepers. I understand that some babies are quieter than others.

12. Baby Gates
Back in the day we used doggie gates to keep baby from going into another room. They were not convenient as the whole gate had to come down to get through. Now they have some really nice gates either to keep our little ones confined to one room or for dangerous stairways. These gates come with doors to walk through which are way more convenient. This is a practical gift for anyone with a baby that will soon be getting into mischief while their backs are turned! Shop baby gates now!

13. Backseat Organizer
Organizers that conveniently hang over the back of the front car seats to hold toys, bottles, diapers, wipes, and any other baby items that you need to take along with you. I have a cousin with a young child and they have a video player for long trips and an organizer helps keep the videos in place as well. As they get older you can take along an extra set of clothes in case of accidents and keep snacks on hand for days you are running errands. Shop backseat organizers now!

14. Floor Gyms
There are all different kinds of floor gyms to keep baby entertained, discovering new sounds, and learning how things work. They are stimulated by sounds, music, lights, games and textures. They have spinners with rattling beads, peek-a-boo games, mirrors, and all sorts of toys to keep them entertained and happy. Most come with a built in floor quilt so you can put them on multiple surfaces and baby stays comfy. Shop floor gyms now!

15. Bath Spout Covers
When my children were babies in the bath I remember worrying that they would hit their heads on the spout and wrapping it with a wash cloth or putting something over it to protect them. Well, now they have rubber bath spout covers, one I’ve seen recently was an adorable whale. You plug him up on the spout by his blow hole. What a cute idea. Shop bath spout covers!

16. Suction Bowls with Lids
I thought this was an ingenious idea for when baby gets old enough to eat in the high chair. Bowls that have suction cups on the bottom with lids for storage! This keeps baby from knocking the bowls on the floor accidentally or tipping the food over while trying to get a handful. Then when they are done snacking you can pop on the lid for storage. Shop suction bowls now!
[amazon_link asins=’B011F7JK52,B013469O9O’ template=’CopyOf-ProductGrid’ store=’preemietwinswp-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’0e0625c3-7dbe-464e-b1ac-dd4bd0ecbc13′]
17. Onesies and Baby Snap Tees
These are one of my favorite gifts to give. For the days when you are staying at home with baby these are so quick and easy to get them in and out of for baths or quick changes. They are soft and comfortable for baby too. So convenient when it is time to change babies diapers as well. They are easy to wash and always great to have on hand. Shop Onesies now!

18. Bath Sets
Hooded towels and wash clothes are always great gifts. You can add baby wash, shampoo, powder, and oil. If you’d like you can fill up a baby tub with all these essential bath items and put a big bow on it and your gift is complete. They even have baby massage oils and other items to pamper your little one that could be included in this gift just for fun. Shop baby bath sets now!
[amazon_link asins=’B00X22L0AC,B01KYHT5T0′ template=’CopyOf-ProductGrid’ store=’preemietwinswp-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’5943977e-515b-47ec-8df0-411db8863fbd’]
Well, these are just a few of the baby items out on the market now that a new mother and father would appreciate. Of course there are always diapers, wipes, bottles, pacifiers, sheet sets, and other necessities that would make great gifts as well. Don’t forget blankets and comforters either. On several occasions I’ve taken a baby blanket to a store near my home to have the baby’s name and birthday embroidered on. The parents are always thrilled with the extra effort. Whatever gift you choose make sure you get a gift receipt and include it in the card in case there are duplicate gifts or it’s something the parent has already purchased. I realize these days that most people are registering for baby gifts but sometimes that is not the case. Or it may be that you want to send something after the child is a few months older. In any case I hope that this list will give you some good ideas and help those of us who aren’t as baby savvy as others.
