Newborn Baby Idea: Bath Time Gift Basket

Bathing a newborn infant can be an intimidating experience. Making sure the water is the right temperature, that it's not too deep, and that you don't get water in the baby's ears are only a few of the worries that new parents have. The gift of a complete newborn bath time gift basket can ease worries and concerns for new parents and make bathing a good bonding experience for the entire family.

Bathing infants can be a daunting task, although many products have made bath time much easier. The majority of bath shampoos are tear-free, so be sure to check the labels so that you are buying newborn-safe products. There are bath temperature monitors that will help make sure the bathwater is the correct temperature. The bath monitors come in a variety of interesting designs, including the traditional rubber ducky, so choose the style you like the best. There are also washcloths that change color to indicate proper water temperature making them a unique dual-purpose item.

Package all of your baby bath time items in a new baby bathtub to get the most out of your gift giving. Place a selection of baby wash, shampoo, cotton balls, lotions, and washcloths in the bottom of the tub, along with a few very soft towels. There are a variety of shampoos and lotions available, although many new parents benefit from bedtime formulas that include lavender as they help to relax and calm fussy babies. Be sure to include a nice card or decorative tag so that the new parents can remember the thoughtful gift they were given.

While a newborn baby idea can be difficult to come up with, thinking of what newborns need the most and building your gift package from there is a simple and effective way to purchase just the right gift. Every newborn needs bathing, so giving a personalized gift basket just for bath time is a gift that no parent will forget.
