Give them the gift of acknowledging this fact, and make a list of things that you want for the kid that will make your life better.
(Hint: A four-ton pallet of Desitin.)

Flinty's gift buying rules for friends' infant kids:
Good Friend: nice clothes, books, toys or something useful
Bad Friend: mini drum set, xylophone, annoying toy with sounds that repeat ad nauseum.
