Just put these on the corners:

I used "butt paste" my entire teenage years and had wonderful skin. Of course YMMV but worth a shot!

This one an Amazon is 16% Zinc!

[Boudreaux's Butt Past](Boudreaux's Butt Paste Diaper Rash Ointment, Original, 2 Ounce https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B8ZZDGC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_cLfzyb3M9T5E4)

If you're not particularly crafty they sell kits. There's actually quite a few options on Amazon.

It's small, but have you considered one of these?

My kid asked for a tooth organizer for Christmas when she was little and starting to lose teeth. I got this kind and I am glad she had that idea

We got this one on Amazon and I really like it. Not too overwhelming and it was fun to work on it with the hubs.

Baby book

I think I'm buying one of these from Amazon. My wife is very sentimental and will love something like this.

Amazon link for those interested:

Baby's first hand print kit!

There is also something like this- I got one for my sister-in-law before she had my nephew!

Yes, we stamped it! I purchased an ink pad used to take baby foot and hand prints. I did some research and found out that it's also non-toxic and safe to use on your pets!
This is the one I purchased: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004YRDQBK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_NEsOBbRMB3K0N

Clay Hand/Foot print and picture frame.

Clay Keepsake & Photo Desktop Frame - Red Mahogany https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002PB59YE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_MU7ezb39WCKK1

The frame quality isn't the best thing on the market but I don't think she will mind.

The clay pieces we made ended up bowing a little but I think that is because we put the frame vertical too early. So if you make it keep it laying on its back for a few days.

That one has better reviews, and is eligible. I'd be honored to send this to her.

I'd try asking if you could size up, or ask for diaper doublers.

My favorite creams are Butt Paste and Aquaphor. However, since you're using a service, check with them regarding creams. Sometimes creams can leave residue on the diapers.

How long does he sleep through the night? If he's still getting up every couple hours, just plan on changing him each time. If he's sleeping for longer periods of time (6 hours +) at night, you could try using wool covers in addition to the fitted diaper (I'd bulk up the diaper a little with prefolds or doublers). I like EcoPosh wool covers. You do have to lanolize wool covers so they become waterproof, but I loved using them with my daughter.Learn to Cloth Diaper has step by step instructions on how to do that. Hope it helps!

I would buy an alignate mold and cast kit (non-toxic, non-irritating, quick setting 3 or 4 minutes). After you have your cast, you can scan it in high detail on a turntable. Congrats and good luck!

EDIT: A kit like this is good:

I have a baby book by C.R. Gibson and I love it. It has memory spaces/photo slots for the first 12 months, and then for every year up to 5 years. There are pages for vacation memories, holidays, immunizations, doctor visits, height and weight, a tooth chart (just like you described) etc. Mine did not have a memory pocket, but I taped an envelope with the haircuttings in the book.
Amazon carries several; I’ve also seen them at Buy Buy Baby and Kohl’s. Or you can shop C.R. Gibson directly.

I know you said you don't have time, but making a sandbox for her (of course with parents permission) would be awesome, and they could keep it for years. Plus you could always update it each year- repaint the sides, add decoration, etc as a birthday gift.

From Amazon: A turtle that shows the constellations. My baby brother had one and loved it- and my parents enjoyed having a pretty night light that they could use as a learning tool.

Also this keepsake kit will allow the parents to make a new Christmas ornament of their girl's first Christmas, plus they can make an extra one for the favorite grandma. Yes, this isn't really for the daughter, but lets be honest; she'll play with the box and be completely overjoyed.


If you want to really make the daughter happy, this sensory tub is AMAZING. Just a tub, you say? Oh no. This can be filled with sand, small pebbles, noodles, water, beans, etc to fully engage her sensory experience. I teach with a program that has one-year-olds and they go crazy when these tubs are brought out. You can even make it into a cute basket by including things like this and this and still stay in your budget! :)

For me? I'd like this so I can sleep in a few mornings :) Good luck to you in your quest for the perfect present!

I Love This dress with This hat and These shoes!

:D

My MIL gave us this one. It's pricey but oh so cute!

For books to read to kids, I like Goodnight Moon and One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish (or anything by Dr Seuss). I also have abridged board book versions of Peter Rabbit which I like. Little Golden books, like The Pokey Little Puppy are good too.
