Move over, traditional baby showers—there’s a new celebration in town, and it’s all about making sure parents are ready to feather their nest. Enter the nesting shower: a growing trend that’s part practical, part pampering, and 100% centered on supporting the soon-to-be parents as they prepare their home (and hearts!) for baby.
Whether it’s their first baby or their fourth, the transition to parenthood is huge—and sometimes the best gift isn’t another onesie, but a helping hand. Nesting showers shift the spotlight a bit, focusing less on baby gifts and more on what parents need to feel settled, supported, and less stressed.
So, what exactly is a nesting shower? And how can you throw one? Let’s dig in!
A nesting shower is a celebration that helps parents-to-be prepare their home and life for the baby’s arrival. Think of it as part party, part practical prep session. Instead of guests bringing bibs and booties, they may show up with freezer meals, offer to build nursery furniture, help organise baby gear, or pitch in with household chores.
Unlike a traditional baby shower, which tends to be more gift- and game-focused, nesting showers are all about helping the expectant family feel calm, cozy, and ready for this next chapter.
And while baby showers are often limited to celebrating just Mum and limit the guest list to women, nesting showers tend to be more inclusive, welcoming friends, family, and neighbors of all kinds to lend a hand.
Anyone who’s expecting a baby can benefit from a nesting shower! That includes:
Nesting showers are also great options when the parents already have the gear they need, or when a more traditional shower doesn’t feel like the right fit.
We’re seeing a cultural shift toward honouring and supporting parents more holistically—emotionally, mentally, and logistically. The nesting shower trend taps into that beautifully.
Here’s why these showers are gaining steam:
Not sure where to start? Here are some sweet and simple ways to plan a nesting shower that’s as helpful as it is heartwarming:
There’s something so beautiful about rallying a village around the parents-to-be—not just to celebrate, but to truly support. Nesting showers are a way to show up with love, intention, and a little elbow grease. And for exhausted, excited, about-to-be parents? That’s a gift that keeps on giving.

Muttermilch ist die beste Quelle der Ernährung für Babys. Es ist wichtig, dass Mütter in Vorbereitung auf das Stillen und währenddessen eine gesunde, ausgewogene Ernährung zu sich nehmen. Die Kombination von Stillen und Flaschenernährung in den ersten Lebenswochen kann die Muttermilchversorgung verringern und die Entscheidung, nicht zu stillen, ist schwer rückgängig zu machen. Wenn Sie sich entscheiden, Säuglingsnahrung zu verwenden, sollten Sie die Anweisungen sorgfältig befolgen.
