Anything To Ease Her Efforts
Breastfeeding, diaper changes, giving baby a bath everything is extremely new for a first time mother, and if the husband is not around to help her at-least he can offer her some maternity products which will help and aid her in her work.
It can be a simple nursing pillow that will help her with the feeds and make her feel less tired, diaper Genie which will help her to put the diapers out in them so she doesn’t have to run to the trash every time, or a bottle steriliser which will help her keep all the feeding bottles clean at all times, a breast pump to ease her pains if the baby is not feeding herself enough. So the key here is knowing the need of your wife newly turned mother, and stepping in to help solve her problem.
The Emergency Box
Many of us might think why is it necessary, but when the baby is in need and the mother is in state of panic and the husband is not around the emergency box will come in handy. It must include all the emergency medicines that the baby might need like fever medicine, nasal spray, diary with emergency contacts in it, contacts of emergency cab or car service, anything that you could think of the mother might need when the husband is not around. And the new mother wouldn’t definitely appreciate your thought of being there for her in the time of crisis.
Lastly, the new mother need the most from her husband is the love, that she got when she decided to make him the father of her children. The same love which no matter of her changed body or mood, will never change. The support and appreciation that she is doing a great job. And a strong shoulder to cry on if she ever feels low.
A happy mama, makes a happy baby,
So kiss her forehead and be there daily.
For you never know when the day will come,
When all she will ask you to love her some,
But you keep her always in your heart,
And remind her that she has always been there from the start.!!!
