Medela Purelan lanolin nipple cream
For a mom who is breastfeeding, a tube of lanolin cream is a small gift she will actually use. The Amazon.ca listing describes it as formulated without additives, preservatives or fragrances, and says it can also be used on dry lips and hands. It carries 4.6 stars from about 12,000 ratings and was listed at $11.94 when we checked. We make no health claims for it; if she has questions about nursing, her midwife or doctor is the person to ask.

It is easy to wrap and works as a baby shower gift or a first-Christmas present. Pair it with a nice pen for a fuller gift.

Ekouaer 3-in-1 labour, delivery and nursing gown
If she is due soon, a soft gown that works in the delivery room, on the postpartum ward and for nursing at home is practical and a little bit kind. The listing is rated 4.4 stars from about 3,400 ratings and was priced at $29.06 for the version we saw. Check the size chart and colour before ordering, since prices and options vary by size.

EverFoams women’s memory foam slippers
Sore feet and cold floors come with the early weeks at home, especially in a Canadian November. These fuzzy memory foam slippers have one of the biggest review pools on the list, 4.4 stars from about 23,000 ratings, and were listed at $31.99. Several colours and sizes are offered, so check her usual size first.

Jolly Jumper nursing pillow, made in Canada
A nursing pillow takes weight off her arms and back during long feeds. The Jolly Jumper pillow is made in Canada, wraps around the waist to support the baby and is described as lightweight and travel friendly. It is rated 4.4 stars from 176 ratings, so the review pool is smaller than some others here, and it was listed at $34.97 in a rainbow print. Other prints are offered.

Owala FreeSip insulated water bottle, 32 oz
New moms are told to drink more water and then handed a baby. A bottle she can open with one hand helps. The Owala FreeSip is a 32-ounce insulated stainless steel bottle with a spout you can sip from or tip back, a push-to-open lid and a carry loop. It holds 4.6 stars from more than 122,000 ratings and was listed at $39.17.

Kindle Paperwhite 16GB (2024 model)
Night feeds leave a lot of quiet, awake time, and a Kindle lets her read without turning on a bright light or holding a heavy book. The 2024 Paperwhite with 16 GB of storage is rated 4.6 stars from about 10,900 ratings and was listed at $279.99, which makes it the splurge of this guide. Watch for Amazon deals if you can wait.
