12 Gifts for New Parents They’ll Actually Use

This Ubimed Lifenest baby mattress under $130.

People don’t pay as much attention to the way babies sleep as they should — in fact, a healthy baby will spend most of his or her day sleeping, and preferably on his back, but that can lead to respiratory, digestive, and even aesthetic issues like head flatness. Most new parents don’t give this much thought, but if you’re in the market to make a really big impact with your gifts for new parents, the Lifenest mattress just may be the right move. It features a special design that positions the baby’s head and neck in just the right way so they can breathe properly while also getting support for their still-growing heads. Plus, it’s just not that much more expensive than throwing down for a plain, unhealthy plastic thing at a big box store.
