What do you get a teenage mother for baby shower?!?

so my friend got pregnant and the baby shower is in November sometime, what should I get her?! She's 15. anything in particular? and I know that she's too young and everything, but there's really no turning back now so don't leave mean comments!What do you get a teenage mother for baby shower?!?
You should get her what you would get someone in their 20's 30's 40's.


why does age matter? you dont have to post her age on here.





but just get her things she needs like


diapers, wipes, blankets, cloths, binkis, baby shampoo, lotions, body wash.What do you get a teenage mother for baby shower?!?
If she is registrered at any stores check out her registry and see what she wants....if she isnt registered at any place get her stuff like bottles, pacifers, baby wash rags, onesies, outfits, etc, etc or something like that. There are sooooo many things to get your friend for her baby shower. Best of luck
my two favorite items are the munchkin bottle warmer %26amp; munchkin diaper wipe heater!!
The same thing you'd get an adult mother for her baby shower?





Don't forget that what you're buying will most likely be for the baby. Find out if she's registered anywhere and buy off her registry list of things that she'd like for the baby.





If you want to buy something for her, buy her some lotion or bubble bath.
Is it a girl or boy???





Try getting diapers %26amp; a card with money..The best gift


so she can spend it on whatever she likes for the baby..





If not try getting some basic newborn/baby supplies.things that she wld really need.





Or clothes for the babyy.
Ask your friend what she needs and go from there. All new mothers need for example nappies and other disposables, or you can get something more unique like a baby memory book where she can write everything that happens over the first year of her baby's life. Normally new parents have clothes for the first few months so if you are looking at getting any kind of clothing, rather buy something from 9-12 months or something so she has something to look forward too - just count the months to check the season for when the baby is that age so you don't buy a winter outfit for the middle of summer. I ended up with so much 0-3 months clothes that we didn't even use half of them, it was such a waste! My favorite presents were a baby memory book and some cool toys, as well as some cute outfits that he is only just wearing now, so they were from around 12 months until 24 months
Alright sounds like you have a problem with her age. And the 'fact' that she cant turn back since shes farther along...


Anyways it doesnt matter. Any 'teen' mother needs the same as any 'adult' mother. Its a baby not a dog or anything. It will need the same stuff. Clothes, wipes, diapers, bottles, blankets, socks, toys, soothers, anything a baby needs you can get. Go to walmart and look. Im sure they have something.





If you cant decide what to get, give a gift card. I got one at my baby shower, which was great because i could choose what i wanted.
Age doesnt matter at this point, she is going to be a mother and will need all the things a new mother in her 20's or 30's would require.


Babys are very expensive, and gifts as simple as diapers, formula, or even some cloths are always welcomed. I am also expecting in November and recently had my shower, i recieved a wide range gifts, many of them gift cards from baby stores and walmart (which was nice as i could pick up what i needed)


Im sure she is going to have a tough time in finacialy supporting herself and baby, so look at what is a necessity and what she really needs when buying a gift. Have fun with the shopping and enjoy spoiling the new little bundle of joy!
don't get her clothes cause almost everybody buys clothes ask her what she is missing and see if u can buy one of the things, and if you can't buy diapers, baby bottles,pacifiers, that kind of stuff.
There are lots of things that you could get her. In my experience, a new mother is going to get tons and tons of newborn clothing at a baby shower and the baby won't even get a chance to wear them all before he or she outgrows them. If you are going to get baby clothing, you may want to get some stuff that is a little bigger than newborn like 3 to 6 months or something. Some other good gifts are: diapers in various sizes, bathing supplies (baby shampoo, baby powder, baby oil, baby lotion, etc), pacifiers, educational baby toys, baby blankets, and if you get really stuck... a gift card is always a safe bet (maybe for Babie r Us or Target). I always think that diapers are a GREAT way to go though because a new mother can never have too many of those! Good luck with your decision!
Ask her if she is registered anywhere. If she isn't, suggest it. She can choose what she prefers (colors, patterns, etc.) and it'll most likely prevent her from receiving too much of something and having to go through the process of returning/exchanging items.
Aww, I am 17 and 12 wks w/ my first...


I would probably just get her anything practical like you said... maybe some stuff that she would need further on after the baby is born like: sippy cups, bigger clothes (babies grow fast), diapers, wipes, toys, anything like that... even money in a card would be nice, God knows we need it if we are having a baby... especially at that age.


:) I hope this helped you out!
Sweetie it doesnt matter how old she is. get her the same things you would get a 28 year old women. Onesis newborn diapers, bathing stuff, diaper bag..


Anything she will need for the baby
';The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding';. Teens usually have a much better supply then older moms she could be a pro and do a good thing for her and her child. Plus I like the idea of getting across to her what being a woman means since she jumped the gun, she can do it since she has to.
