1. Little Lights Sunshine Onesie (Php250)

A little baby could go through many changes of clothes throughout the day because of leaks, spit ups and spills and that’s probably why they say there is no such thing as too many baby clothes. For this reason, a onesie (or two) for a newborn is always a good idea.

2. Cycles Sensitive Protective Diaper Cream 80g (Php289?)

Every mom will find a diaper cream useful within her baby’s first year and beyond. This one is formulated with 13% Zinc Oxide as well as Vitamin E and Bisabolol which speeds up wound healing and prevents scarring. It is gentle enough to be used every day on a newborn.

4. Inay Moments Postnatal Tummy Binder Recovery Belt In Nude (PhpP320)

This belly binder gives gentle compression for the belly whether the mom gave birth vaginally or via C-section. This is made of soft elastic and does not contain latex. It comes in one size and fits waists up to 34 inches in size. It is invisible under clothing so it’s perfect for moms who love to dress up but probably still find it difficult to fit into their pre-pregnancy clothes without help.

5. Karga Baby Carrier in Royal Blue (Php450)

A baby carrier is an excellent gift for a new mom as it allows them to carry the baby handsfree and gives them the freedom to move about without worrying about their little one's safety.

This semi-stretch knit carrier is made of 60% cotton and 40% polyester. Its breathable fabric is perfect for our local weather and prevents sweating on the baby’s back.

6. Children's Silicone Placemat in Grass Green (Php850)

A nice, useful gift for any baby, but especially for one who’s just started eating solids and will have their first Noche Buena! This can also be used for a long time, well into toddlerhood. 

7. Silicone Suction Bamboo Bowl with Spoon Pink  (P899)

A nursing pillow is ergonomically designed for the purpose of breastfeeding support.
