Offer to Clean Something

A new mother would love assistance around the house, even if it is just washing the dishes or folding laundry. Having an extra set of hands to help around the house can help relieve the stress. Family members or friends can help out around the house and the new mom can take a nap or get some time alone.It is also great to have someone around while Dad is at work for conversation.

Bring Food

When couples welcome a new member to the family both mom and dad are exhausted. Bringing food by can be one of the best ways to help alleviate their long and late nights. One less meal to prepare gives them a little more time together or a little more time to tend their other children. Prepares her breakfast, a few lunches and even a few healthy snacks can help make a world of difference to an exhausted new mama.

My husband had to go out and purchase me a pair of men slippers just so I could leave the house. I was miserable. My normal Size 8 feet were a whopping men size 12.

Let Her Sleep

Everyone is excited to see the new baby. It is expected to want to stop by and visit during the first few days that mom and baby come home. One thing sweet thing you could do is to send her flowers and arrange with Dad to stop by at later time after she has gotten a little rest.

  1. Yes!! Bring food! The last thing I wanted to do as well was think about what to cook. Don’t visit the baby unless you bring a meal LOL

  2. Thanks for this awesome advices. Once baby is born, mother’s body will change both physically and emotionally throughout the next year. During this time taking care of a mother is very important.

  3. I agree, as a mother of three and having three c/sections I can testify about the emotional and physical healing process after child birth. It makes such a big difference when the mother is regarded. Bringing mom a nice simple gift, or offering any kind of support. Thanks for this post great information .
