Preparing for Postpartum
Finding a suitable gift for a birth can indeed be challenging, especially if you're not well-versed in this area. There are a few points to consider when selecting a gift.
What to Avoid:
- Choosing the Smallest Size Clothing: Gifting clothing in the smallest size often doesn't make sense because expectant parents usually prepare for this themselves. An exception is if the parents specifically asked for it or if you find it on their baby registry.
- Mittens and Hats: Items like mittens and hats can be tricky to gift since parents often prefer to select these themselves.
- Printed Cotton or Synthetic Clothing: It's advisable to avoid clothing made of printed cotton or synthetic materials, as these may not be suitable for a newborn's sensitive skin.
- Baby Care Products: Baby care products can be a very personal choice, and it's often best to avoid gifting these unless you are certain about the parents' preferences or have been instructed by a doctor to do so.
It always makes sense to ask the expectant parents for their preferences or any specific needs they may have.
However, if you don't want to delve deeply into the topic or lack time, here are some general suggestions for gifts that would likely be appreciated:
- Gift Cards: This allows the parents to choose what they need or prefer.
- Diapers and Wipes: These are practical and always in demand.
- Baby Gear: Consider items like strollers, car seats, or baby carriers if you're closer to the parents and know their needs.
- Books: Baby books are a thoughtful and educational gift.
- Meal Delivery Service: After the birth, cooking can be a challenge, so a meal delivery service can be a great gift.
- Babysitting Offer: Offer to babysit or provide some assistance once the baby arrives.
- Personalized Gifts: Items like personalized blankets, onesies, or wall art can be cherished keepsakes.
Ultimately, it's essential to consider the preferences of the expectant parents and the practicality of the gift. Your thoughtfulness will surely be appreciated, whether it's a gift for the baby, the mom, or the entire family.

Chiara Doveri
Hi, I'm Chiara, an Italian, a mother of two, and I work as a family photographer in Berlin. My photographic passions are birth and family documentaries. I aim to authentically capture and preserve families, moments, special emotions, and moods, which will inevitably pass even though we want to hold onto them forever. Since becoming a mother myself, I understand even more what matters in family photography: it's not about capturing the brightest and best photo but about finding the beauty in family life, in the daily chaos, and behind the piles of laundry. Being a family has nothing to do with glamour and perfection. It's exciting, complex, and multi-dimensional. I want to tell exactly that story with my pictures.
Gina Walkowiak
That's a lovely introduction! It seems like you're a 29-year-old mom since May 2021 to an energetic little one. You, your husband, and your son enjoy traveling, even though it's a different experience with a child. You like visiting markets and strolling through Berlin together. You've been a self-employed photographer specializing in families, couples, and weddings since 2017. Since June 2022, you have a solid collaboration with midwife Sissi Rasche and have had the privilege of accompanying her on postpartum visits and even a belly birth, among other things. It sounds like you have a fulfilling and busy life. If you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
