COO BABY — Iowa Parent Mag

1. BRING HER FOOD.

Now I am sure you have heard of this one.  Now that her life has changed and she is no longer sleeping, it can sometimes be hard to make time to eat.  Don’t call her and ask what you can bring her, be thinking of this point before she even delivers the baby and try and take note of things she likes.  This can be as simple as stocking her pantry with easy one-handed snacks like granola bars, or bringing some frozen meals for her to easily warm up as she is pumping, breastfeeding, bathing the baby, changing the baby, walking in circles to soothe the little one.. you get it, she’s busy.  Don’t overthink it, in the end she’s just going to remember you were thoughtful, not what food you actually brought.
