Nurse Gift Baskets Unpacked!

Liesel Teen
About this episode

This week on The Mommy Labor Nurse Podcast I'm here to answer a question that I get asked ALL the time in my DMs...what gifts or gift basket items should I get for my labor and delivery team??

While nurse gift baskets are very much appreciated, they absolutely aren't expected and certainly don't have any impact on the care you receive during your birth.

But since I do get asked about this topic a lot, I wanted to take a moment to share some potential nurse gift basket ideas with you today! 

Anxious about packing for the hospital?
