hmmm I have never head of such a thing. I do try to get a picture of the baby and the doc and have it for him on my first apt after delivery so that he can add my baby to his wall of fame. But beyond that i have never heard of giving a gift to your doctor....
I even hear that parents give the older siblings gifts from the baby to keep them from being jelous or feeling left out. I dunno just doesnt sit right with me really. Its a time for them to focus thier love and affection on the new addition not to see what new 'stuff' they can get out of the deal. I am having my daughter take the baby a gift when she goes to see her for the first time but more out of bonding then anything. She picked out her very first doll and I think it will be a bonding item for the 2 of them... I dont plan on buying my 2 older kids gifts from the baby.... or for my doctor for that matter...

I am a doctor. We most certainly do not expect gifts from our patients. The greatest gift I receive in my job is knowing I made a difference. All that it takes is my patient saying thank you and letting me know how they appreciated what I did for them. That is better than any material gift.

Your gift to the doctor is paying the bill and being a reasonable patient to work with!! You can do it out of courtesy but there is no expectation of it.

the only gift i will be giving is a pic of our baby. i will most likely wanna give flowers or bring baked goodies to the nurses because they will have to be the ones tending to u the most.

I have never heard this... and I agree with the other posts, your gift is paying the bill and being a reasonable patient! LOL
After I had my second son I wanted to take a gift to the nurse... she was awesome and totally looked out for my needs. Maybe this time around i will pack a thank-you card & a gift card to Starbucks or something just in case I have such a wonderful nurse again!
