[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP [b]I inquire because I dont want to waste my money sending items for a nursing mother vs a formula feeding mom[/b]. I send nursing moms items that were helpful for me when I was nursing plus stuff for a new mom that focuses on her. Nursing stuff would be things like hydrating drinks or LIQUID IV sticks, one-handed snacks, etc. Regardless of nursing status, I will send a mask for daytime sleeping, some undereye patches, chapstick, usually dinner sent one night or gift cards for ubereats, etc.

If its a close friend of mine I already know. If its a wife of one of my DHs friends then I might ask. [b]And yes if I know they had their first csection I might get them an extra caddy for diapers or a cute pillow with a note saying "use for coughing or laughing". [/b]

Its not malevolent. And yes your ped will prob ask a few more times because 1. they likely dont remember your previous answer and 2. didnt review the chart closely enough regarding that specific issue[/quote]

This is insane.  And totally out of bounds unless you are close with the person to whom you are sending the gifts.  "I don't want to waste my money" so therefore you ask personal questions and make assumptions about what people need?  [/quote]
