You can find these kinds of baskets already made or you could go with making them on your own. Either way, there are several options available at retailers.

Good Baby Gift Baskets for Diaper Care

One of the most useful and most well-received new baby gift baskets is a diaper care basket. Inside, mom will find diapers, wipes, a wipe warmer, diaper rash ointment, powder, and more. Some add-on gifts that go well with this type of basket include a diaper Genie and a diaper carrier. Find out before hand if mom will be using disposable or cloth diapers - and throw in some diaper pins with the cloth diapers if needed. If you can not find a tactful way to figure out which she plans to use, simply skip the diapers altogether.

New Baby Gift Baskets with Items for Bathing
