Here at Baby Batches headquarters, we are often asked when is the best time to send a baby gift.  A lot of people decide to send their baby hampers or baby gifts to the new mum in hospital and while this is a lovely idea we find it hard to judge if the new mum is in fact still in hospital.  If it’s her first baby then most of them stay the duration but second, third, fourth and God forbid fifth babies they usually don’t stay as long as they have to get home to the other child/children.

We have had many baby hampers returned to us as the mother has checked out of hospital early so our advice is to send to the new parents at home….it’s will be a lovely surprise for them as the excitement of the new little one has usually settled down so a nice Baby Batches gift sent to them at home will delight them.

We also recommend to add something for the new mum to make her feel special, our baby hampers are filled with baby goods like clothing, bibs, rugs, wraps, soap but we offer add-ons of soap, cream and even champagne…!
