[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 377627, member: 1991"] What a wonderful way to celebrate Rosh Hashanah! Congrats to you, your daughter and granddaughter! As for a gift - a friend form our church made a special blanket for difficult child 3, embroidered it over a period of months. Another thought - difficult child 3 became hooked on the feel of towelling from infancy because I always lay him down to sleep with a cloth nappy nestled under his cheek to catch the 'overflow'. As it was summer, I also mopped my brow with the same cloth, and kept the cloth by me when breastfeeding him. So the cloth had my smell, well and truly. He associated the feel of the towelling with my smell and me, with comfort and with sleep. He still likes towelling but has been less fixated on it. A good gift for a new mum and baby is a special bath towel made with thin towelling with a little hood sewn into one corner. It's marvellous for swaddling a newborn in right after his bath. Easy to make, too. Just sew a triangle of extra towelling into one corner of a square of towelling, edge with binding and maybe applique on some special ribbon with a cute boy motif on it (maybe zoo animals or sailing boats).
