BRR Basket for New Moms
What Goes in a Burr Basket for a New Mom?
Warm layer first: fuzzy socks and a blanket she can live in during night feeds.
Then the comfort kit: snacks she can eat one-handed, a big water cup, lip balm, and dry shampoo.
Finish with one small luxury — a candle, a book, or a face mask — the thing she would never buy herself right now.
