Bottles and PacifiersSome parents do not
ever present their baby to pacifiers or bottles
because these components can interfere with
breastfeeding.
Diapers may not seem the most showy of baby
shower gifts, but they may be one of the most
suitable. Diapers are expensive, and babies use
them quickly, so new parents always appreciate

lullaby CD or some tunes for the car would be a
excellent gift. Also look for one of the many
DVD learning series for infants, such as Brainy
Baby or Baby Einstein. A copy of your favorite
book from childhood is a significant and useful
baby shower gift. You can also purchase toys
made for older babies for use later in baby's
life, but select toys for ages 3 and under to
avoid tiny parts that could choke a young
baby.
Consider Gift CertificatesGift
certificates can make it no trouble to select
last-minute items that were forgotten in the
preparations for baby's arrival. Gift
