A Perfect Gift for A New Mom

I have just discovered a new gift item for expecting parents.

We all know breast feeding is back. And many of these nurturing activities are taking place in public. Just the other day, I saw two young moms sitting in the seats outside of an ice cream parlor. One of them was feeding her baby. Both the mother and the child were strategically covered under an Afghan. But this white blanket with green trims was not big enough to reach the mother’s back. Unknowingly, the nursing mom exposed her entire backside.

After I passed by that young parent, I was thinking that she could have used a bigger blanket to avoid such embarrassing moments. Immediately, a poncho came to mind. A poncho is a simple overgarment natives of Central and South America wore to fight off the chill in the Andes. It is made from a piece of heavy clothes with a hole in the middle. It has also been made in other durable materials. Like a cape, it’s loose. So a poncho can discreetly keep the bonding between a mother and her baby comfortably away from the general public. - Ayee
