12 Perfect Baby Shower Gifts (That Won’t Be on the Registry)
According to some medical studies and lots of good, old-fashioned folk wisdom, dates, which are rich in potassium, iron, magnesium, and selenium, can help shorten and ease labor. We can’t vouch for that, personally or medically, but we can say that eating sticky, caramely, sweet dates certainly can’t hurt the endeavor. Rancho Meladuco’s The Due Date Bundle for Expectant Mothers comes in four- and six-week bundles. The four-week bundle includes four 2-pound boxes shipped two boxes at a time two weeks apart. Each box contains about 40 organic, unpitted Medjool dates, for a total of 160 dates — that’s about five dates per day for the last month of pregnancy. And no matter where birth falls in that month, the morsels are a sweet and nourishing treat during new-baby days, too.
