Get them a card and wait until the christening to buy a gift or just get them a bottle of champagne to celebrate - she'll have been off the booze and a will be in need of a drink!

As the proud owner of 3 nephews and a niece plus several godchildren I always get...
Flowers and chocolate for the new mum, (don't tend to get much for the dad, they've had it easy!) and really cutie tiny baby clothes for the baby. Don't get the first size and they won't last.. Go for 3-6 months plenty of vests babygros plain colours that can get bunged in the washing machine and a really cute outfit for best look at Baby Gap they're adorable.
I love buying baby presents... You could just give me your credit card details and I'll buy for you..??

Great advice apart from this load of crap.

That said though, just get your mate out to wet the baby's head, then follow the rest of Gert's post. Job done.

I didn't suggest it was a walk in the park for the Mum...I just had to stress that the Dads don't have it easy.
Anyways, to answer you: Most Dads (myself included) just try out the laughing gas. That's pretty much their full involvment in the whole birth procedure.

Zulu, this confirms everything I've ever thought. You're an amazing, sensitive, warm-hearted and compassionate man. I'm sure this gave Mrs Z great strength through every second of delivering your beautiful sonZulus!

Shame you weren't around when my friend Sally gave birth to her 10pound son and endured the 20+ stitches in her underneaths, without anaesthetic... I will NEVER EVER put myself through such an orderl!!!!!!! Even with a brave soldier to hold hands with!!

As a father of twins (nearing five years)... go for vouchers. Yes, it's quanitifying your expenditure, but as Gertie hints, buying clothes is a bit of a waste of time - they'll either grow out of them within a month or never get the chance to put them on. We were given about four dozen items for a 0-6month baby and absolutely nothing after that; obviously that's not exactly rude of those who'd bought us birth-presents, but we were damn glad of those who'd got us vouchers, as we had to completely re-stock two little wardrobes...
Vouchers for what? Baby Gap if you like labels, Mothercare's good for clothes and hardware, Early Learning Centre perhaps, even Argos and Boots. It all comes in handy.
