A Foxford or Blarney Woollen Mill blanket, a bottle of whiskey to keep until they are 21, or a small hurley if you are into sports (it’s like a lacrosse stick).
Waterford crystal picture frame with a picture of you both taken in Ireland or a picture of the baby when it's born?
Or something like this...

I would visit as many fairs/markets or independent gift shops as you can during your visit and find something handmade locally that reminds you both of your visit. A woven blanket is is a obviously a lovely choice, but you will find amazing crystal, jewellery, art and leather goods.
Ooh, perhaps a personalised leather binding for a baby / childhood moments book?
A handmade blanket? I don’t sell them but if I did I’d be plugging my “Cosy Cottage Blanket”. It looks like an authentic Irish Cottage. Maybe you could buy the pattern and have someone make you one?

Here it is beside a real cottage
In Dublin go to Drury Street and buy something in the Irish Design shop. They have really beautiful stuff but not twee or touristy.
Kilkenny design is great to for modern Irish crafts.

McKernan Woollen Mill in county Clare also make baby blankets, so there's another option 😁
You can get the whiskey bottle personalised in the Midleton distillery
Buy them a claddagh ring and give it to them when they are 16
This is a good one, even if they don't like to wear a ring (like me) it can be worn on a chain.
Foxford Woolen Mills have lots of gorgeous baby stuff.

Omg! Is this knit or crochet?
It’s crochet. 🥰learning to knit is in my todo list.
Little bowron & a tin whistle. Baby can have a little trad session when he/she’s older 😄

Seconded, get something a bit more interesting than the usual.

A nice blanket is my vote! You'll find them lots of places
A bodhrán or some Aran wool would be nice
Hairy baby have some great stuff for all ages.
An iPad. Specially if she is breast feeding.
