I had many people just bring themselves. It saves on trying to pack up on extra stuff while the new parents are trying to get a newborn home
ETA: Congrats to your BF!!

If you bring something - maybe bring something edible. Maybe pick up her favorite Starbucks drink or something like that.
Congrats to her!

Just bring yourself. When I was in the hospital many people came just see me and the baby and didn't bring anything- and I honestly didn't expect anything either. It is enough just to take the time to visit her, it means more than any gift!

I'd just bring yourself so they don't have to lug anything else home. They'll have enough stuff as it is!
If you really don't want to go empty-handed then I would just bring maybe a small bouquet of flowers or some ballons. Something they can leave behind.

I had brought one of the edible fruit arrangements when I went to see my cousin. She loved it because she was starving!

Re: ? My BF just had a baby (please don't move this)
when I have visited friends in the hopital I have brought something for them.. not the baby since I had already purchased a *proper& baby gift..
I brought some nice lotions, or something that is a bit of an indulgence... as well as some food/snacks since there are so many visitors, etc.

I sent flowers to the house once she was home. I called her to say hi before I came and she said she didn't need anything.
I brought her Mickey Ds fries.

Re: ? My BF just had a baby (please don't move this)
I brought my friend a bottle of red wine because the entire time she was pregnant that's ALL she talked about 
Her and her DH opened it in the hospital.

Re: ? My BF just had a baby (please don't move this)
I never expected anything... but I have to admit I was delighted when I got chocolate covered strawberries, Guiness and other goodies to eat/drink! And since I was in for 4 days I also appreciated the magazines.

I brought my cousin who I am close with a card and a Swarovski Baby carriage - for her. We always give each other Swarovski. Her husband was there to bring it home. I had already given gifts for the baby.

Re: ? My BF just had a baby (please don't move this)
I bought magazines and chocolates to my friend when I went to visit her as I had already given her a gift or as the other ladies suggest some food stuff as the hospital food is blah usually.

 I am all for that!
7 trips to load the car on the day I just wanted to go home was not too fun!

Oh, but I did like getting magazines and a puzzle book - it helped me during the slow time and I couldnt take anymore crappy TV!

Re: ? My BF just had a baby (please don't move this)
That is very sweet of you.
If you want to get something, get something for the mommy. The baby is pretty well taken care of. Food is definitely a good idea. My sister's friend brought cupcakes to the hospital which were a big hit.
When I gave birth, my sister lent me a portable DVD player and some DVD's which definitely helped pass the time.

Re: ? My BF just had a baby (please don't move this)
When I was in the hospital after having my DD, all I wanted was some frosted sugar cookies and a latte.
Honestly, while getting baby gifts in the hospital was great and appreciated, it really added to the clutter that I already had there (my clothes/personal effects/baby bag/pillow, etc). DH had brought some home with him when he went home to sleep and even then he still had to make two trips to the car on the day we were discharged. I can imagine that if they are taking a cab home, it'll be much harder to get all that stuff to the car.
So my vote is for something edible. Call and ask what she's craving.
