Becoming a new parent comes with all sorts of firsts: the first time your baby recognizes your face and smiles at you, the first time your baby sleeps through the night (which means you get to sleep through the night), and the first Mother's Day celebration. Whether your partner is pregnant with your child or you're already nursing a newborn at home, that first milestone is one you'll both remember for the rest of your lives. As your child gets older, they might be the one to pick out the best Mother's Day gift for your wife or make her breakfast in bed. But for that first one, it's really up to you to make this day special for her as a new mom.

The best first Mother's Day gifts are pampering and relaxing, seeing as those new to parenthood are severely lacking in things like sleep and self-care. While gifts for the baby are nice, the gift you give to a new mom for her first Mother's Day should primarily be for her. Remember, it's Mother's Day, not Baby's Day. Treat the new parent to a gift she wouldn't give herself—one that makes the long, exhausting days of caring for a newborn a little bit easier. In addition to a present, you may also want to give her the gift of an extra hour of sleep. Perhaps even a few hours alone to herself while you take the baby to visit the grandparents or to the park. She could use the break (and frankly, you could too), but it's something she likely wouldn't suggest herself.
