Practical Gifts for Expectant Parents
Babies are fun to shop for, but sometimes we get too excited about all of the adorable, tiny outfits and forget about some of the more practical essentials. From the postpartum phase up to the feeding stage, here are a few of our picks!
Fourth Phase Box
Fourth Phase afterbirth care gift box is the brainchild of Nana Eyeson-Akiwowo and Marcia A. Cole, two friends and former magazine and digital editors also known for their philanthropic work. With options for both vaginal and cesarean births, the Fourth Phase box contains everything a new mom needs to care for her body and her mind in
the postpartum period. From belly wraps and balms to products designed to support lactation and peace of mind, these boxes are the perfect gift. $150-$165, fourthphasebox.com
Keababies Organic Burp Cloths
As any parent or caregiver knows, newborn babies tend to spit up – A LOT. These burp cloths are perfectly sized for full shoulder coverage and they’re soft and absorbent.

between! $22, keababies.com
