Going to visit a friend who just had a baby...

I'm going to visit a friend who just had a baby and she has other children as well. Of course I will be bringing a gift for her and the new baby but I was thinking of also getting something small for her daughters. Is this appropriate and what would you suggest if it is?

Thanks!

Definately appropriate and so thoughtful! How old are they? Maybe a cute dvd even just 1 gift for them all?

Since I am sitting here in the hospital after just having had my second, I feel like I can answer this Chat Icon Chat Icon .
Friends who came to visit brought a Melissa and Doug Puzzle for my older DS. He LOVES it! It has kept him so busy each time he has been here Chat Icon My older DS is 2 but I think this is a good idea for even older children. Just get something age appropriate!. NO STUFFED ANIMALS!

I think it's a great idea. This way the other child doesn't feel left out with all the attention being on the new baby.

I always like to bring "I'm the Big Sister/Brother" tshirts. Or a toy.

It is a great idea to bring something. I am going into the hospital tomorrow to be induced and one of the things I made sure that I have in the house for when I get home is a small box of "presents" for my 2 year old so that he doesn't feel left out if someone comes over with a gift for the new baby but nothing for him.

The reason I have is that I want to make the transition from one to 2 as easy as possible and I want to avoid if possible MINE MINE whenever a present comes into the house the first few times.
