SALT LAKE CITY — Are you looking for a gift for the woman in your life who just had a baby? Maybe it’s your sister, your wife, or maybe it’s someone you know who is financially struggling.

Getting a gift for the new momma can mean the world to her — after all, having a baby is no easy task and she can probably use all the help and assistance she can get. She might be struggling with body image, low energy, sleepless nights or even postpartum depression. This gift guide will provide you with ideas that tackle a few of these.

Here are nine great last-minute gift ideas for momma:

1. A quality postnatal vitamin

I placed this as No. 1 on the list because it’s the No. 1 most important item for a new momma to have. A quality postnatal vitamin can help her balance her fluctuating hormones, help ease any postnatal symptoms such as postpartum depression, and increase her energy levels.

There are countless vitamins one could choose from, but you want to invest in one that is good quality to ensure better absorption.

Premama Wellness makes a good one. Click here to check it out.

2. Postnatal protein powder

One of my best friends skips out on a vitamin altogether and decided to use a complete lactation powder instead. It includes all of the great vitamins, herbs, and even protein to support her health.

If you’re getting a gift for someone with a sweet tooth, you can make taking vitamins even more enticing by getting them a delicious chewable gummy vitamin or — even better — a cookie bite with all the nutrition.

LoveMajka makes high-quality lactation boosting protein powder and lactation bites, using non-GMO, 100% organic ingredients. Check them out at lovemajka.com.

3. Hands-free breast milk pump

The new momma will love this, trust me. Pumping breast milk can be time consuming and tedious. The Willow Breast Pump has patented technology that ensures no milk spillage and full mobility. You can even pump breast milk in downward facing dog! It’s also quiet, easy to clean, and is convenient to take anywhere so you can pump on the go. To check it out, visit shop.willowpump.com.

4. A diaper subscription service

She will never have to think about buying diapers again. This is, hands down, one of the best things you can get for a momma, especially a mom you know who might be struggling financially. My family recently gifted this service to a mom we knew who was financially struggling, and she was so grateful to know that her baby would always at least be able to have diapers available.

Abby&Fin is an awesome diaper subscription service, with each diaper only costing 29 cents, which is the cheapest across the board. Plus, for every month of diapers purchased the company gives back 30 diapers to families in need. Check them out at abbyandfinn.com.

5. A postpartum belly wrap

It’s normal for a new mom to feel out of shape, and for her belly to sag right after having a baby. Unfortunately, it’s also normal for mom to feel low confidence and depression about her new post-baby body. Luckily, there are some solutions to help get her confidence up and pre-baby body back.

A postpartum belly wrap is a perfect solution and gift to help tighten her belly back and make her feel beautiful. Belly Bandit is a great brand with quality fabrics and wraps to fit every size. Check them out at bellybandit.com.

6. A portable stroller

Perfect for mom to quickly bring baby anywhere with the least amount of hassle. The Compact Stroller by Colugo is one of the best. It easily folds with one hand, has a machine washable layer, and can be picked up like a purse. Check it out at hicolugo.com.

7. A swaddle

Experts say proper swaddling can provide many therapeutic and neurodevelopmental benefits for baby. Not only will a proper swaddle help the baby, but it will help the mom, as well, to have a happy baby. You’re not just giving her a baby swaddle; you’re giving her a tool that can help baby sleep better, which means mom sleeps better too.

There are many different swaddles you can choose from, but the Ollie World makes a great one. Check it out at theollieworld.com.

8. Peace of mind

Give mom the gift of peace of mind with this incredible smart sock. Owlet created the technology, which wraps comfortably around the baby’s foot and tracks oxygen levels & heart rate. The base station glows green to let you know everything is OK; and if heart rate or oxygen levels leave preset zones, it notifies you with lights and sounds. Check it out at owletcare.com.

9. Adorable baby accessories

Last, but not least, you can’t go wrong by getting mom some adorable baby accessories. Mushie makes some adorable (yet effective) silicone bibs. They’re stylish, and their unique design makes them perfect for catching food.

Mushie also makes adorable pacifiers and cute clips to attach to them. Check them out at mushie.com.

Happy holidays and enjoy the gift of giving this season! Mom is going to love it!
