Medical devices for newborns.
I'm thinking maybe one of the AG stocks....
POT, IPI, MOS.....those will all be good for the next year and beyond. She likes to get dirty....soccer player, right?
OR.....

I like BTU, PCX (down last few days but will rebound) or JRCC! Those will all be good for a few years as well.
It's tough to pick a sector right now but those two are good for sure!

First Stocks for Kids
There are lots of other great stocks in which young ones might invest. Take a trip to the supermarket, for example, and you'll run across many of their favorite foods, many made by solid companies. Lucky Charms fans might invest in General Mills (NYSE: GIS) -- which also owns the Betty Crocker, Pillsbury, Green Giant, Häagen-Dazs, and Old El Paso brands, among many others.
When it comes to fashion trends, your young ones are likely much savvier than you are, and have some major edges in evaluating companies as possible investments. Help them understand the many advantages they have as young investors -- such as the power of time and insights into the youth market

One of the best ways to purchase stock in small amounts is through ShareBuilder www.sharebuilder.com. The commission is as low as $4 per trade, and there's no investment or account minimum, or inactivity fee.
In addition, ShareBuilder lets you buy fractional shares. If you invested, say, $200 for each child in a stock trading at $16 a share, each of them would own 12 1/4 shares (less the $4 commission).
Another great way to purchase stock in a company for as little as $25 is to be enrolled in a company's Dividend Reinvestment Plan, commonly called a DRIP. DRIPs are plans offered by companies for the reinvestment of cash dividends by purchasing additional shares or fractional shares, on the dividend payment date. Many DRIPs also allow the investment of additional cash from the shareholder, known as an Optional Cash Payment or Optional Cash Purchase (OCP). The DRIP is usually administered by the company without charges or with just nominal fees to the participants, and many allow additional purchases of as little as $10 to $25. For most DRIPs, you must already be a shareholder of the company to enroll. This means that you must own a minimum of one share, but some require that you own more shares.
One of the easiest ways to obtain the first share of a company's stock, so that you may participate in its DRIP, is by going directly to the company. Companies that offer their stock for sale to the investing public are sometimes referred to as No-Load Stocks. These stocks, in many cases, can be purchased without using a broker or paying brokerage commissions.
Here are some companies that make it fun for kids to have shares:
* William Wrigley Jr. Co. sends stockholders a 100-stick box of gum each December.
* Kellogg sends a packet of coupons for such goodies at Pop-Tarts and Froot Loops.
* Disney offers the Magic Kingdom Club with discounts on resorts and theme parks.
* 3M, for a small charge, offers holiday gifts boxes of tape, Post-Its and other products.
