i want to buy a gift for my sister, she'll be giving birth on her 1st child this coming december, and i want to give her a special useful gift. ano ba maganda? gracias:)

Hi acid head! Check the Newborn Baby's Essentials Thread, anything on the list that she doesn't have yet is going to be helpful and useful. But if you don't want to give her ordinary things like blankets and bottles, try:

- a subscription to a parenting magazine, like Smart Parenting or Baby Mag
- a CD of classical music or lullabies
- a really nice educational toy, I recommend Lamaze toys especially this one:

DaNa8

If you got the money, why don't you buy her an electric breast pump. Brands like Medela and Avent are good.

thanks tina, yes it is and it's not just because i sell them:) a baby sling helps promote a baby's intellectual, physical and emotional development, three in one product.

If I had to recommend just one single thing that is most helpful to a mom with a baby, it would definitely be a SLING! Not only can you keep working while you're carrying your baby (my baby wanted to be carried ALL the time), baby also sleeps better when in a sling. It's especially great for moms with no space at home for a cradle.

a sling eh?

wow, parang gusto ko bilhin lahat yun for my fist pamangkin! haha. anyway, gracias mommies:)

Kung naka-budget ka, you can buy baby clothes in a house in Zodiac St. sa Bel-Air in Makati. They sell Carter overruns, mura talaga siya compared to the same brand sold sa SM and Rustans. Yung entrance sa Jupiter cor. Makati Ave. P500 madami ka ng mabibili!

Other gifts are:
Nursing pillow
Portable diaper changer
Baby Grooming Kit (brush, nailcutter, etc)
Lessons: Infant massage, breastfeeding, babycare, sign language etc. (inattendan lahat ng wife ko ito!)

Kung bongga ka a LA-Z Boy would be a nice chair for breastfeeding! Just ask my wife. Hehe!

I'd go for a ring sling. My son is going on 2 and I still use it.

pinakagusto ko sa lahat ng niregalo sa baby ko e yung nursing pillow.*okay* check it out sa sm baby co. less than 500 lang yata yun.

eto...try this Baby Book. Visit the webpage www.read-about-me.com and click the baby book movie. This is a nice gift for both your sister and her newborn...its a personalized storybook telling about your pamangkin's birth with all the nice details. A very nice keepsake that they can keep forever.
