As a society, we tend to mark special occasions with gifts. Engagements, marriage, anniversaries, birthdays, graduations, etc. The birth of a child is a special occasion, and marking it with a gift doesn’t seem that unusual to me.

As for only giving the gift to the mother, I think it might be excessive to expect a woman who has just gone through labour to have gotten a gift for the father as well. I’d expect she has other things on her mind.
