When a couple has a new baby, do you have to send a gift immediately or is it ok to send it within a few months? A good friend of mine out of state had a baby 2 months ago and I have been searching everywhere for a specific gift I want to get the baby related to her favorite sports team. Part of me feels bad but the baby is still a newborn so I was just curious. I'm going to be visiting her next month so I was planning on bringing it with me then. Is this ok?
You don't have to send any gift, let alone immediately after the birth.
Find that perfect gift, and then send it without any guilt.

Normally the first time you visit the baby you bring the gift. Or if there is a baby shower coming up, you bring it then. However, I think she'll appreciate the thoughtful gift. She probably receive so many of the same "newborn" gifts, and will appreciate a gift that's for the baby now that the baby is a wee bit older.
Also, this is your first time visiting so I think it's fine. It's more personal to bring it yoruself than to send it anyways.

Sounds good to me. Delivering it yourself is better than sending it anyway.

No one should ever EXPECT to get a gift at any time - that's what makes it a gift. I think it would be lovely to give her something the first time your visit. And holding out for just what you want to give the baby is even better - it shows you really thought about it.

Of course. Since you are planning to visit her, why rush to send it to her now? Bring it when you visit.

Yes - the parents will appreciate clothing in a larger size, too. It's so much more thoughtful to deliver a present in person. She'll be more likely to remember it because it won't be with the other pile of stuff she got when she first had the baby.
My niece is 8 months old and has outgrown most of her clothing. Pretty much no one bought clothing larger than 6 month size.
