I received product and compensation from Sam’s Club as part of a sponsored program. All opinions are my own.
I’ve always said that every baby deserves to be celebrated–no matter if it’s the mother’s first or fifth! But what do you give to a repeat mom who already “has it all”?
Knowing what to gift a repeat mom is especially challenging when she’s having a baby of the same sex as a child she already has. My first three children were girls, so I re-used the same clothing and gear for them.
But there are definitely disposable supplies that every mama needs for every baby. I hope this post will give you some baby gift ideas for repeat moms.
1. Toiletries
This is so needed! When a mother has more than one child to bathe, she will go through baby wash and shampoo very quickly! Gifting her with a set or two of baby toiletries will bless her immensely.
I was so blessed to receive enough toiletries to last me for nearly a year when my son was born! I got the above pictured AVEENO® BABY WASH & SHAMPOO in a recent Baby Bundle I purchased from Sam’s Club for my son. I like that it is hypoallergenic, phthalate, and paraben-free.
2. Feeding Supplies
Every baby must be fed, and feeding supplies–whether for breastfeeding or bottle feeding–are a godsend for any new mom.
If I know a mother is breastfeeding, I will gift her with some nipple cream, a nursing cover, some lactation teas, or even pumping supplies.
If I know a mother is bottle feeding, I will gift her bottles or even a container of her formula of choice. Formula can get expensive, and just because I breastfeed, it doesn’t mean that I can’t bless another mama with something that will aid her feeding method of choice. I like to save coupons for Similac Pro-Sensitive™when I get them in the mail, and I will often attach these to baby gifts for moms who I know are using this formula. It’s the first formula with 2’-FL Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs)* for immune support!
3. Laundering Supplies
Whether it’s a gentle detergent or a stain remover (because every mother of babies and toddlers knows we should buy stock in stain remover!), or even a set of wool dryer balls, purchasing a repeat mother laundering supplies will be a practical and unique gesture. If you have enough in your budget, consider making her an entire basket of laundering supplies to help her tame the laundry mountain that new baby laundry can produce.
As an aside, when the Disney Baby ECOS ™ Laundry Detergent came in my recent Baby Bundle at Sam’s Club purchase, I decided to use it on the whole family’s laundry! It is made with a free and clear formula, which is what I like to use for all of our clothes.
4. Diapers and Wipes
Seriously–diapers and wipes are the best gifts for repeat moms. If all else fails, simply pick up a pack of diapers and/or wipes, and you will have won your repeat mom friends over forever. Huggies diapers are a great choice for keeping baby clean and fresh, and their the fastest-growing choice at hospitals (Based on verified shipments to US hospitals for the 52 weeks ending 9/30/17). I LOVE the Huggies Natural Care Wipes pictured below. They are safe for sensitive skin and are 99% water. They are free of fragrance, alcohol and parabens as well.
Some of the moms from my daughter’s class threw me a baby shower when I was pregnant with our son, and I was so blessed with diapers and wipes that I did not have to purchase any for an entire year!
Make It Easy Tip: Baby Bundle at Sam’s Club
All of the images pictured in this post came in one big package that I ordered from Sam’s Club recently. Their exclusive Baby Bundle is customizable, and it saves money to order them in one package. In fact, you can save $25 over ordering the items separately!
The package includes:
AVEENO® BABY WASH & SHAMPOO (18 oz., 2 pk.)
Disney Baby ECOS ™ Laundry Detergent Free and Clear (170 fl. oz.)
Choice of one size of Huggies Little Snugglers or Huggies Little Movers
Choice of one Huggies Baby Wipe – Huggies Natural Care, Fragrance Free or Huggies One & Done
Choice of one Similac Pro Infant Formula – Similac Pro-Advance™or Similac Pro-Sensitive™
You must order online. You can pick up in store, or you can get it shipped straight to your house–which is what I did! It’s a great way to save money on baby gifts–or to stock up on your favorites for your child. Limit two per member.

My favorite gifts as a repeat mom includes paper plates and bowls. Having disposable cookwear, especially to last the first three months after having the newborn is priceless. I love the idea of not having to worry about dishes (or my husband doing the work for two). I love this list, Erin, and I definitely agree that a new mother can never have enough diapers.

These are great gift ideas! Have you ever considered giving the gift of photography. One of my favorite gifts was being set up with a newborn photoshoot. I would check out Arcadian Photography from Salem. Katie is amazing and has some great work on her website. Check it out!
