A Moby wrap!
I love the Mei Tai carrier! And all baby carriers, actually. Very important in my husband’s Malaysian culture and now mine, as well.
We bought our little guy a sound machine for sleeping.

I just had our first child, a little girl, about 7 weeks ago. My husband is korean-american who bcame here with his family when he was 2 yrs old. My own parents are scottish-canadian and mexican-american. So our daughter is quite a cultural composite! It’s important to us, to do the best we can to make her feel proud of all the cultures she’s a part of, which also includes catholicism and buddhism. The first thing we’ve “given” her is a name that reflects each of her cultures: reina noelle sora. As a mexican-american catholic, she was given a pretty little baby cross to wear around her neck (from my mother, that was actually my own when I was an infant.) Her korean-catholic grandmother has gifted her with a rosary. In the mexican culture, babies wear rings, bracelets, necklaces, and earrings. She’ll have acquired a few pieces of nice jewelry by the time she’s one years old. As a korean-american, she will be given a traditional hanbok (korean traditional dress) to wear to an elaborate celebration for her first birthday, in keeping with custom. And of course, I had a typical american/canadian baby shower with lots of presents for baby, like pacifiers, toys, blankets, clothes, etc. My husband and I look to each of our parents, for guidance in making sure our girl has the opportunity, like we did growing up, to participate in the traditions of her own cultures.
I always think that swaddles are the must have for new parents – either the ones you do yourself or the cheater ones. We couldn’t live without ours!
I follow you on FB too!! Love the posts.
We give engraved silver cups, Italian Catholics
My daughter is half Nigerian. I haven’t purchased anything pertaining to her culture yet, but I have created a keepsake book detailing all the names she received from her Isomoluroko ceremony (naming ceremony). I created both a board book and a hard cover. I’m sure when she gets a bit older I will adorn her with gele made of wax fabrics.
My mother makes all of the new babies blankies.

Now that I know I’m 6% Scandinavian (DNA testing), I guess I’ll go on ahead and celebrate this week.

You should carry Flat Bears – http://www.flatout.com.au/
Great gifts for a baby, they’re soft and cuddly, and make great pillows on change tables, in the pram, in the crib, etc.
In Korea, wearing your baby is a nearly universal practice. My kids and I love the bond this creates, and even though they aren’t infants anymore I still wear them. My favorite carrier for preschool-aged or toddler-aged children is the KinderCarry. It’s easier for me to use than the traditional Korean blanket carrier. If you guys carried these or something like them, that would be awesome!
Gifts like baby clothes, blankets, sometimes even bigger things like beds or baby bath tubs (if you happen to have one you’re not using). The parents also get books on how to care for their baby.

I’ve reposted this article to my FB page. It’s especially interesting to me because I am Polish, my husband is German, and we live yet in another country. http://www.incultureparent.com/2012/03/common-disagreements-in-multicultural-families/
When my daughter was born, we received from family members many beautiful handmade items such as booties, blankets, and hats. When giving a gift, I usually buy some clothes that are monogramed in baby’s name or a silver spoon with their name on it.

One thing I would love to see on Culture Baby are some sensible, culturally inspired travel items, in particularly cots. As a widely travelling parent of a 7.5 month old I am getting really fed up with the so called “travel” cots – I’m sure the wooden one we have is lighter! Even the light ones aren’t airline hand-luggage friendly.

Just shared the Dragon Boat Festival Recipe–we are going to try that at our house!
We buy a baby carrier to keep our babies/little ones close, safe and feeling secure and connected!
In Germany they have very nice looking triangle shaped neck scarfs for drooling babies. My son was a perpetual droplet and I wish I had known about these! Instead he is wearing an ugly looking bib in most of his pictures up to age 2. I left Germany before I had kids, so I never paid attention to this before.
My son also received a beautiful hanbok from his foster mother in Korea to wear in his first birthday.

I just liked CultureBaby on Facebook and have already liked InCultureParent and been following for a while.
We are big fans of baby slings
My husband is from West Africa-to carry the baby, they just use a towel or big piece of fabric. But I had to have the Ergo, which is very expensive! My husband thought I was crazy, but it is saving me form a lot of back pain:)
I shared “Common Disagreements in Multicultural Families” to my Facebook page becasue some of it rings true for my family and I have a lot of friends with multicultural families who may find it helpful and/or interesting.
In Turkey the traditional gift is an extremely soft t-shirt, made of very special cloth. In my American family, a special gift is a US Savings Bond that will mature in several years – perhaps the first contribution to a fund for that child’s education. Personally I enjoy giving a bathing cape – good quality towel with hoodie made of another towel, that is great for new borns and becomes a favorite superhero cape as the child grows up.
