Her little boy is 5 and is having another boy. She said her mom dosent think she should have one and shes really upset but its trying to get over it. I feel so bad. do you think it would be nice for me to make her a new mothers basket. (laundry basket, with pampers, wipes, passys, a few clothes, hangers and bath stuff ) Its a signature gift I love to give and wrap it in special ribbon and monogram. Also should i give it to her when the baby is born or we are planning on having lunch soon. I could give it to her then.
A lot of people doesn’t believe a mother should have a baby shower after the first baby.
I sure hope someone would throw me one, as I didn’t keep most of the stuff (I had to move). You could just throw her a baby shower. Or make her the basket and give at any time. Ideally before baby. It will sure lift her spirits.
My friends family doesn’t want her to have a second baby shower?

It sounds like a lovely idea for your friend! You may want to give it early so she can put things in the nursery where they belong.
It sucks, but I can understand about the no shower thing. Most 2nd babies don’t get a shower, because you should still have everything. It’s kinda seen as tacky to ask for more stuff.
So the gift basket is a great idea. You always need diapers!

If you don’t do a shower for her I would give it when the baby is born. It’ll be nice for her to get something at the hospital or when she gets home. Of course if you just can’t wait give it at lunch lol..

I think your gift is a great idea!
Give it to her when you go out for lunch- that should ease her mind a little, so she’s not panicking about all the stuff she needs to buy before the baby gets here.
As for the baby shower… I’ve heard both sides of that argument, so I guess it’s up to her.

I wasn’t planning on another shower either, but I gave everything away to all my friends. My friend is now insisting on throwing me a small shower anyway and I’m not going to argue with her. I say go for it and give it to her before the baby is born. If you guys are close friends then get a few friends together and have a small celebration to make her feel good.

you shold just throw her the shower and not invite her family then lol…that will teach them. gosh, in 5 years they have come out with alot of new stuff for babies. she definately needs one! i have a 3 yr old and i due in 3 months and im having a shower you better believe it! if its another girl ill probably just have like a ‘diaper shower’ for practical useful things but its just for fun and a good excuse to get together. the best thing someone gave me at a baby shower was some body wash and lotion FOR ME! they said no one ever thinks of the mother lol….it was sooo nice and ide never even thought of doing that before to a new mom. If you cant throw her a shower, then yes that wold be very very nice to give her taht basket full of stuff.
