INFORMATIVE
Tags: parenthood, advice, support, humor, baby
Some things we received, heard, benefited from, or simply wished that we had during our first weeks with our daughter. If you want to help a new parent, but have no idea how, try some of these.
| | To be told, "Everything will be all right." |
| | Food brought to their door. (Type of food not nearly as important as it just being there.) |
| | Your good humor and laughter. If you don't have that, consider getting them a David Sedaris audiobook. |
| | To be reminded to follow their own instincts. Often, what's best is simply what feels like the right thing to do. |
| | To be reassured that, essentially, newborns need to be fed, held, and protected from tigers, and that the vast majority of us are capable of that. |
