If she thinks they are pressed for cash for baby stuff, maybe buy something relatively expensive at the store where the registry is, and include the gift receipt. That way if the parents have already gotten e.g. the car seat or, uh, other expensive baby-related item, they can use the gift as a gift certificate? I don't know. Sometimes I'm not comfortable giving gift cards in denominations that are significantly higher than most gifts cost, because it seems ostentatious. I guess getting a bigger/more expensive present is also ostentatious. Are breast pumps smallish and unassuming looking?
If I think that the couple will be well-supplied and most of their friends aren't able to afford much, I usually go with a gift about the size others will give. If they're probably strapped and most friends can't afford much, I try to sneak in something bigger because having a baby or whatever is hard enough when you have all the stuff you need.
