Hi, I’m Anna, Co-founder of The SABI.
My first Mother’s Day as a second time mum wasn’t the picture-perfect celebration I had imagined. I was struggling with postpartum depression, barely able to recognise myself in the mirror, and exhausted from the endless cycle of feeding, rocking, and surviving on broken sleep. In the midst of it all, I felt invisible—like I had disappeared into my role as a mother, leaving little room for anything else.
But I remember one thing that brought me comfort. A friend dropped off a care package—a nourishing tea blend, a beautifully soft robe, and a handwritten note reminding me that I was more than just a feeding machine, that I was still me. That moment of care meant everything.
If you’re looking for a Mother’s Day gift for a breastfeeding mum, the best gifts aren’t grand gestures. They’re the thoughtful, nourishing things that make her life feel just a little bit easier. Here are 10 meaningful gifts that offer comfort, care, and relaxation to the breastfeeding mums who give so much of themselves every day.
1. A Nourishing Tea for Breastfeeding & Postpartum Recovery
Breastfeeding places enormous demands on a mother’s body. A warm, nutrient-rich tea can be a simple yet powerful way to support lactation, hydration, and hormonal balance.
The SABI Breastfeeding Herbata is a therapeutic infusion made with:
-
Vervain & Holy Basil to calm the nervous system and support hormonal balance
-
Fennel & Moringa to gently encourage milk supply
-
Oat Straw & Stinging Nettle for iron and mineral replenishment
-
Cinnamon & Cardamom to aid digestion and bring natural warmth
It’s more than just a tea—it’s a moment of pause and nourishment in the middle of a demanding day. Pair it with a handmade ceramic mug from Husk & Honey for an extra-special touch.
2. A Restorative Face Mist for Sleep-Deprived Skin
Breastfeeding mums rarely have time for an elaborate skincare routine, but a simple refreshing mist can be a game-changer.
The SABI Revive Face Mist is packed with prebiotics and adaptogens, helping tired skin feel awake and balanced. Just a few spritzes throughout the day can restore hydration and offer a little moment of self-care.
3. A Luxurious Body Moisturiser to Soothe & Hydrate
Breastfeeding can leave skin feeling dry and depleted. A high-quality, hormone-friendly moisturiser can help restore hydration and support the skin barrier.
The SABI Prebiotic Moisturiser is infused with hyaluronic acid, plant-based collagen, and skin-nourishing botanicals, making it perfect for postpartum skin that needs extra care.
4. A Comfortable, Breathable Robe for Long Feeding Sessions
Comfort is everything when you’re breastfeeding. A high-quality organic cotton or bamboo robe makes a luxurious yet practical gift, perfect for those early mornings and midnight feeds. BAM Bamboo Clothing offers ultra-soft, breathable loungewear that’s naturally antibacterial and kind to sensitive postpartum skin.
5. A Nutrient-Rich Skincare Serum for Postpartum Glow
Postpartum skin can become dull, dehydrated, and sensitive due to hormonal shifts. A gentle but powerful serum can replenish nutrients and restore radiance.
The SABI Active Nutrient Serum is packed with seaweed collagen, adaptogens, and hyaluronic acid, offering deep hydration while being safe for sensitive postpartum skin.
6. A Postpartum Care Set for Deep Nourishment
If you want to give a new mum a complete self-care experience, a carefully curated postpartum set can make a beautiful gift.
The SABI Nurtured Mother Set includes:
-
Breastfeeding Herbata for lactation support
-
Calming Herbata to ease postpartum anxiety and sleep struggles
-
Revive Face Mist to refresh tired skin
-
A soothing body moisturiser for deep hydration
Everything she needs to feel cared for and replenished.
7. A Soft, Supportive Nursing Pillow
Breastfeeding can strain the back and shoulders, and the right support can make a world of difference. The BBHugMe Nursing Pillow is a favourite among new mums, offering ergonomic comfort while adapting to different feeding positions.
8. A Thoughtful Book on Motherhood & Postpartum Well-being
Knowledge is power, and a book that speaks to the emotional and physical transformations of postpartum life can be invaluable. Consider “The First Forty Days” by Heng Ou, which beautifully explores the importance of nourishment, self-care, and support in the fourth trimester.
9. A Breastfeeding-Friendly Jewellery Piece
Breastfeeding babies love to grab, twirl, and tug while feeding. A non-toxic silicone teething necklace from Mama + Belle is a stylish yet practical gift, doubling as both jewellery and baby entertainment.
10. A Gift Basket That Says "I See You"
For a truly special touch, curate a personalised gift basket filled with:
-
A handmade ceramic mug
-
A nourishing nipple balm
-
A silk scrunchie for easy hair ties
-
A packet of oat-based lactation cookies
-
A heartfelt note reminding her that she’s doing an incredible job
The Best Gift of All: Genuine Support
More than anything, a breastfeeding mum needs to feel seen, supported, and nurtured. If you’re unsure what to buy, offer a meal delivery, a few hours of childcare, or even a text that reminds her she’s doing an amazing job.
A well-chosen gift is more than just a product—it’s a message that says, “I see you. I appreciate you. You matter.”
