Bringing a new life into the world can bring on lots of different emotions for new and even existing mothers with more than one child. All mothers experience what is called the “baby blues,” which can bring on symptoms of anxiety, mood swings, feeling overwhelmed, and much more, but for many other mothers, this can lead to postpartum depression, which can be much more severe. 

Postpartum depression is not a mother’s fault. It can make a mother feel further away from her baby by thinking they will  not be able to bond with them, putting fears and anxieties into their head that they’re not a good mother, insomnia, a loss of appetite, and lots of other worse symptoms. We know that you want nothing more than to give this mother in your life suffering from postpartum depression the utmost love and support that they need at this very moment. While postpartum depression can last for upwards of a year after the birth of a child, it’s important to be there for this mother, and these supportive gifts and care packages can really help remind them they’re an incredible mother!

Food Makes the World Go Round

While a common symptom of a woman going through postpartum depression is a loss of appetite, it’s important for the woman to continue to get the nutrients that she needs in order to not only take care of herself, but be able to give the proper care to her baby as well. Whether it’s getting the mother their favorite snacks, dishes, or making homemade recipes that you know she will enjoy, the thought is truly what counts. Here are some of the best food care packages to get a mother suffering postpartum depression to remind her that she needs to take care of herself  and to remind her that she is just as important as her little one.

Soup is the Best Way to Any Person’s Heart

One of the best ones to remind someone that you love and care about them is with a delicious bowl of soup. We firmly believe that soup is one of the best ways to show how much you support someone not only because it’s a warm, comforting food, but it is delicious too. We think you should get someone the Thinking of You Spoonful of Comfort care package because of the tasty chicken noodle soup they sell, along with the bacci rolls, chocolate chip cookies, and the personalized note that you can include in it as well to make it extra special!

A Mother’s Health is Important to Keep Her and the Baby Healthy

It’s important to keep the mother healthy just as much as the baby. Though it can be stressful when a baby is sick, it can be worse if the mother is too just because they’re the ones, besides the fathers, providing all of the care for the baby. To remind a mother to continue being healthy with food, we think you should get them the Comfy and Cozy Kit Care Package! While this product does come with germ-fighting antibacterial products, it also comes with food to keep her healthy too, such as soup, pretzels, and herbal tea too to keep those nasty germs and viruses away.

Memoirs About Postpartum Depression to Show Them They’re Not Facing This Alone

There’s something about memoirs that just bring everyone together. Memoirs help to bring to light other people’s personal experiences with topics that may be hard to talk about and they shed light on those experiences to help bring people closer together. Many mothers that have postpartum depression feel as if they’re alone with how they’re feeling, but that is far from the truth. We recommend getting a mother a book called Day Nine by Amanda Munday where she recalls suffering horribly from postpartum depression and then being involuntarily committed to the Toronto psychiatric ward where she stayed there for eighteen days. This powerful book explains one woman’s experience through postpartum depression, and is a reminder that women who suffer from this, no matter how extreme, are never alone.

Bracelets Representing the Hardships of Motherhood Can Remind Them How Rewarding it is

There is nothing more rewarding for a mother than carrying a child for nine months and then bringing that life into the world. As scary as that can be for many mothers, they have a baby to call their own. If you want to get a woman that has postpartum depression something thoughtful, then you need to get them this Full Circle Pregnancy bracelet! This bracelet not only recognizes a woman’s entire pregnancy, but also labor, and postpartum as well. This bracelet may bring helpful energy to bring healing to a woman’s reproductive system, alleviating mood swings, and so much more. Get this bracelet for a beautiful mother to remind her of her rewarding journey through motherhood!
