20 DROP-OFF ITEMS FOR NEW MUMS: 1. A LONG Charging Cord
This one is a MUST. Nursing and taking care of a newborn can leave new moms stuck in place more than you’d think. With this, she can stay connected from anywhere!
2. The Most Comfortable Robe You Can Find
Robes are a perfect easy access piece of clothing and are as comfortable as a new mom deserves!
3. Nursing Bras
We continue our list of drop off times for new mums with… nursing bras!
New moms are going to run through nursing bras like nobody’s business. An extra one could never hurt.
4. Nipple Cream
The bottom line is nursing can take an extreme toll on the body. Nipple cream is a great gift to drop out because it’s something that goes quick and this means one less trip to the store.
20 DROP-OFF ITEMS FOR NEW MUMS: 5. A Good Book
While babies are rarely sleeping when convenient for new parents, they do sleep an awful lot. A new book(preferably not about motherhood) is great for these moments.
6. Yoga Pants
Time for yoga in our list of drop-off items for new mums!
Casual wear is a new mother’s best friend. Comfortable. Not physically constrictive. Plus it is flexible enough to work with a new mom’s ever-changing body.
7. Gift Cards for Take-Away
Make cooking one less thing to worry about with a gift card to their favorite takeaway place.
8. A Coffee Subscription

Considering the mess of a newborn, having a couple of extra pairs of pajamas can be life-changing.
10. Snacks
I don’t think anything else needs to be said here.
20 DROP-OFF ITEMS FOR NEW MUMS: 11. Streaming Subscription
TV can be a great companion to new moms. Get them a subscription to something new to mix things up!

Home-cooked meals are amazing. Not having to cook them yourself? Amazing.

15. DROP-OFF ITEMS FOR NEW MUMS: Heating Pad
Motherhood can be incredibly hard on the body. Show a new mom’s some kindness with a heating pad.

Much like the heating pad, a soft blanket can ease the tolls of parenting on the body by a lot.
20 DROP-OFF ITEMS FOR NEW MUMS: 17. Nappies
Anything that can run out is a great gift idea, and nothing runs out quite like nappies.
18. Formula if Not Breastfeeding
This is pretty much the same idea as the nappies. Keeping a new mom stocked on this is crucial.
19. A Cheat Bottle of Wine
With the modern marvel that is bottling breastmilk and husbands on baby duty, this might be the secret to winning any new mom’s heart.
20. DROP-OFF ITEMS FOR NEW MUMS: A Non-Baby Conversation
Having a conversation with someone who doesn’t require a nappy change is much needed. Take some time to be a nice escape for a new mom.
