Baby boy Molina

This registry may look a little different from the typical baby registry, and that’s intentional. 🤍

Babies are so beautifully celebrated and cared for when they arrive, but the new mother deserves to be cared for just as deeply.

The first 40 days postpartum are a sacred season of healing, bonding, nourishment, and rest. A mother’s body has spent nine months growing a new life and then giving birth, and those early weeks aren’t meant to be about “bouncing back” or keeping up with everyday life. They’re a time to slow down, be nourished, stay close to baby, and allow others to help carry the load so that ultimately the new mother can rest and care for baby.

That’s why you’ll find things here that may not look like traditional baby gifts, like contributions toward nourishing postpartum meals, house cleaning, and other forms of support that give Cara more space to rest, recover, and simply be with her new baby.

You may also notice that some gifts are larger investments, so group gifting is warmly encouraged! Please never feel obligated to purchase an entire gift on your own. Contributing toward something together is just as meaningful, and every little bit of support is deeply appreciated.

Of course there are a few beautiful things for baby too, but our hope with this registry is to reflect something we care deeply about: when we care for the mother, we care for the whole family.
