When it comes to babies, there are endless gift options, but what’s better than giving parents tools to help their little one sleep better? Sure, you can always play it safe and gift another onesie, but let’s be honest—most moms already have a drawer (or two!) overflowing with cute outfits. We can’t help it—tiny pajamas are just irresistible! 😂
Instead, why not give something that will truly make a difference in their daily lives? A gift that says, “I see how tired you are, and I’m here to help.”
Now, I’m not saying that one of these items alone will magically get a baby to sleep through the night (if only!), but they can make a big difference. From tools that help establish a soothing bedtime routine to products that promote better sleep environments, these gifts are practical, thoughtful, and guaranteed to be used—take it from me, a sleep coach and mom of two!
If you have a friend expecting a baby or know a new parent struggling with sleepless nights, these ideas might just be the perfect fit. They’re gifts that say, “I care,” in the best way possible.

Portable White Noise Machine. Perfect for naps on the go—because let’s face it, these will happen more often than you think. Find one on Amazon here.
Loveys. Babies love the comfort of a lovey! These secure objects help them feel safe, and having a few options is always a good idea. Check out this adorable option here.
Nightlight. My favorite is the wireless VAVA nightlight—it’s incredibly flexible for those late-night feedings. Bonus: my 7-year-old still uses it! Buy the VAVA here. Need another option? Find one on Amazon here.
Velcro Swaddle. Like a traditional swaddle but easier to use, especially during those 2 a.m. diaper changes. Note: Swaddles are for babies 0 to 3.5 months only.
Glow-in-the-Dark Pacifiers. Yes, they exist! These pacifiers make it easier for both babies and parents to find them in the dark. A total game-changer for the middle of the night. Find some options here.
Hatch Nightlight and White Noise Machine. This all-in-one device is a lifesaver. You can control the settings, colors, and timers straight from your phone. Get it here.
Sleep Sack. Once babies start rolling (around 4 months), sleep sacks are a great alternative to swaddles. They keep babies warm and cozy. Here are my two favorite brands: Halo and Kyte Baby.
Swaddle Blankets. You can never have too many swaddle blankets! These multitaskers are used for everything—from swaddling to cleaning up spills (and yes, even vomit 😂). Find some here.
