Daddy’s involvement in the newborn phase. Those early weeks and months that follow after your baby has arrived are so beautiful, but can be such a blur! Babies are extremely dependent upon their mama. Here’s some helpful tips to keeping your husband involved.
Tips for husbands: (and boyfriends / baby daddies / family / friends:
- Bring her the baby to nurse
- Keep pillows around to support her body while nursing
- Change diapers
- Burp the baby after feedings
- Encourage her to take a warm shower
- Run her an herbal sitz bath to promote healing
- Remind her she’s not alone. Those hormones are finding their way back to balance!
- Help during the night or find support so mama can get some sleep. Maybe have a schedule that you will tend to the baby so she can rest.
Mamas! Find your voice, it’s okay to ask for help! It’s okay to surrender into the postpartum journey and do it with support of your significant other and anyone else willing to help. Please do not think you can do it all
