Many parents make a birth list to equip themselves for the arrival of their baby. And we know what they really want!
Having a baby is expensive, it’s no secret. Some families can benefit from the birth or adoption bonus and this help is welcome, but it is not enough to cover all the expenses: preparation of the room, equipment to accommodate the child (bed , bathtub, changing table, etc.), clothes and care for the baby, maternity clothes for the mother-to-be… The list is long, and it doesn’t stop at birth! Afterwards, it is necessary to regularly change the clothes of the child who is growing at great speed or childcare equipment adapted to his age…
Fortunately, parents can usually count on those around them to help them cover some of these expenses. Indeed, birth lists are perfect for family, friends and colleagues to offer a gift to welcome the baby. This can include “pleasure” ideas (family photo session, thalasso bath for the newborn, etc.), but also “practical” objects (stroller, baby carrier, breast pump, changing table, baby monitor, clothes, toys, comforters, etc.). However, it is not always easy to know what to choose when you want to give a gift to a loved one!
To help you, you can turn to the list of the most popular products on birth lists in 2024. This was established by the P’tit Colis site, which allows you to make a birth list with links to to different merchants so that everything is in one place. It was established from requests from 60,000 families who created a list of birth gifts on its platform. And the ranking reveals that the most requested item is the Philips Avent brand Baby Bottle Starter Kit. So, by offering a kit, you have little chance of going wrong! It is useful both for mothers who do not breastfeed and for those who breastfeed, particularly at the time of weaning or for mixed breastfeeding.
In the top 10, we also find diapers, the famous Sophie the Giraffe, bibs, a changing mat, toddler toys, stackable cups, a baby monitor, a play mat and a meal box. Proof that parents establish their birth list with a practical spirit, preferring the objects they are sure to need in order to avoid clutter. A word of advice: still ask young parents to find out if your choice of gift has not already been purchased by other members of the family.
