Topping the list of mommy survival skills (along with snack rationing and boo-boo care): frequent and artful gift giving.

But when your best friend has a baby, suddenly the world’s greatest swaddle blankets just won’t do.

Take your quandary to ceramicist Susannah Tisue, whose painted porcelain cups, bowls, and dishes are just the thing to show you really care. Each baby-size piece showcases an enchanting illustration and is made from high-fire porcelain for excellent durability.

Ready-made options are available, but with a little lead time (four to six weeks), you can customize a set with your pick of animal, font, glaze color, and baby’s name or initials. All of which should ensure instant heirloom status.

Call it survival of the sweetest.

Available on Saturdays at the Brooklyn Flea, 176 Lafayette Avenue, between Clermont and Vanderbilt Avenues, Fort Greene; Sundays, 27 North 6th Street, at Kent Avenue, Williamsburg (brooklynflea.com), $30-$155. To order custom work, email susannah.tisue@gmail.com.
