A mama’s first Mother’s Day is a truly special event. Forever more her mind, heart, and soul will be split between herself and the new child she’s now caring for. Doesn’t that deserve special acknowledgement with one of these 28 Mother’s Day gifts for new moms?
It sure does. Each of these items was chosen to celebrate a new mama’s status, support her in her new role, and/or give her a little bit of a break — all important things a new mom needs.

So go ahead and splurge on her. Shower her with all of the below; she certainly deserves and could probably use a little love as she gets settled in to the biggest responsibility she’ll ever take on.
