When we had my daughters we had everyone turn up with fruit, we had so much I thought about renting a stall at the market the get rid of some. The wife loved it though. Whenever she goes to visit her friend after they have had a baby this is always the gift given.
Thank you!

Money is the universal gift if she is already home. If she is at the hospital as basket of food and drink is a good thing.

NO, Not that one!

Not kidding Mr and Mrs Stroppy. Kiwi is confused (or drunk again).

This is the standard milk gift for folks in hospital. It's for the mother not the baby.
