If you have had a baby recently, congratulations! It is now time to celebrate your little one's arrival with friends and family. The Chinese tradition called 'full month' celebration is an excellent way of welcoming your newborn into the world. It’s typically held when the baby turns one month old.
As part of this exciting occasion, gifts are usually given out by parents to express their gratitude for those who supported them throughout the pregnancy journey. Choosing what gifts or items to buy can be challenging if you don't know where to start. Fret not, though; we have got some fantastic options that you might want to consider!
Clothing Items
After being confined within a mother's womb for nine months, it would help if you made your little bundle-of-joy comfortable enough in clothes that are cozy yet stylish.
Onesies
Onesies will become your new best friend as they prove practical in every sense of the word--easy-to-wear? Check! Accessible changing times? Check! Best birthday outfit ever? Double check!
The question isn't whether or not onesies should be on this list- it's which quirky design matches up well with bubba's personality?
Style ideas:
- Funny animal prints
- Matching onesie & hat set
- Fluffy fabric designs (fortress from wind and cold)
Swaddle Blankets
Babies need warmth and security more than anything else after they're born -this makes swaddling blankets important purchases essential for snuggly moments with both mom and dad.
A good receiving blanket also provides protection against sunlight while moving outdoors and emergency below-the-carrier diaper changes situations no parent wants to think about but sometimes end up needing urgently.
Baby Feeding
Feeding your baby right is crucial for healthy growth and development, which makes baby feeding items a safe bet when gifting them.
Nursing Essentials
One of the most challenging things that new moms face after having a baby is breastfeeding. There’s nothing worse than being caught in public without any supplies or not able to get comfortable while nursing due to poorly designed gear!
Help out the mama bear by following these tips:
- Get her a perfect shape nursing bra - it can be very beneficial.
- A stylish yet functional cover-up scarf
- Reusable breast pads
These simple items might just make her entire experience negotiable.
Cleaning Products
Babies are messy creatures as anyone with prior experience will tell you. It's an allergenic world out there, and keeping their surfaces clean becomes paramount.
Diaper Wipes Warmer
If there's one thing we know about babies, it's that they hate getting their diaper changed! Imagine how warm and comfortable they'll feel when mommy uses something more deluxe than cold napkins from the box on these wintery days?
Keep those little bum holds happy with a high-quality (and weirdly overlooked) wipe warmer.
The best items in market: - Baby Brezza (warms, sterilizes) - Munchkin Warm Glow Wipe Warmer - Prince Lionheart Ever-Fresh System
Air Purifiers
There is nothing like clean air around a newly arrived baby's nursery. Especially if they suffer from any allergies or ashtma.
A humidifier steadily adds moisture back to the environment and can help ease common cold symptoms such as dry chapped lips or even bloody noses.
Toys & Entertainment
It’s no secret that babies enjoy playing with toys - but finding ones they'll love is another story entirely!

Rattles are an essential toy for newborns as it provides not only entertainment but also development of their sound exploration skills, motor activity coordination and sensitivity.
