I have a friend whom had a baby boy that was stillborn at fullterm, she has since gotten pregnant and is going to have a baby girl. I am wanting to get a her a gift for the baby girl that would be a little memorial as well for her brother…..I am just not sure what to get, any suggestions? I know from experience of having two baby brothers die that I would have loved to have something to touch just with thier names on it…..it would have meant so much.
I love all the ideas, I love the build a bear the most so far…..let me ask this….do think the mom would be ok with that? It’s kind of a touchy subject….I mean do you think she would be offended if I got something for her new baby in rememberance kinda of the other baby….I think its sweet but I don’t want to do something that is a faux pas……I have never been in that situation and don’t know what to do.
When I lost a baby my mom got me a little necklace with a charm that had a baby footprint and the baby’s birthstone. I wore it for a year after my loss, and now keep it in a special box in my jewelry box.
PLEASE help me with a memorial gift for baby?

Get her a memorial plaque with a nice poem and the baby’s name. So sad. RIP baby.

I love the charm idea posted by the previous person and think it is a wonderful gift!
Another, more practical gift for the baby herself could be to build a bear and name the bear after the baby brother?
We have shops where you can build your own stuffed animal and then dress it accordingly and then you get a birth certificate for your cuddly toy. That way the baby can play with it but it is in remembrance of the brother.
Best of luck!
