New mom in cream feeding loungewear reading on a yellow chair, push present ideas for her first 40 days

A push present is a gift for a new mother to celebrate the birth of her baby. It is usually given by her partner at the hospital or in the first few weeks at home.

The best push presents in India help her feel like herself in the first 40 days: a feeding friendly outfit for the naming ceremony, soft nightwear for nights at home and a gift box made just for her. Below are 12 ideas from our own range, grouped by what she needs, with prices that update live.

What is a push present?

A push present is a gift for a new mother, given to mark the birth of her baby and to thank her for carrying and delivering that baby. The name comes from the US, but the idea is familiar in India: families have always looked after the new mother in the first 40 days, often with new clothes, gold or special food.

Who gives it: usually her partner. Parents, in laws, siblings and close friends can give one too.

When: at the hospital, on the day she comes home, or any time in the first few weeks, including the naming ceremony.

How much: there is no rule. What matters is that it makes her feel cared for. The ideas below start under ₹2,000.

C section moms: a push present is for every birth, however her baby arrived.

Push present FAQs

What is a push present?

A push present is a gift for a new mother to celebrate the birth of her baby and thank her for carrying and delivering that baby. It is usually given by her partner around the time of birth.

Who gives a push present?

Traditionally the partner gives it. Parents, in laws, siblings and close friends can give one too. There is no rule about who it should come from.

When should you give a push present?

Any time around the birth works: in the hospital, on the day she comes home, during the first 40 days or at the naming ceremony. Many partners choose a quiet moment once the first visitors have left.

How much should you spend on a push present?

There is no expected amount. A thoughtful gift that suits what she needs right now matters more than the price. This page has ideas under ₹2,000 as well as premium sets.

Is a push present common in India?

The term is borrowed from the US, but the idea is not new here. Indian families have long pampered the new mother in the first 40 days with new clothes, gold or special food. A push present is a simple name for that gesture.

Do mothers who had a C section get a push present?

Yes. A push present celebrates every birth. Soft nursing nightwear and relaxed, feeding friendly outfits with an elastic waist are especially welcome after a C section.

What should I avoid giving a new mom?

Avoid fitted clothes in her pre pregnancy size, strongly fragranced products she has not tried, and anything that adds work, such as items that need assembly or special care.

Can gift boxes be returned?

Our gift boxes are non returnable, so check the contents on the product page before ordering. For other items, see our returns policy.
