Caring for a baby is a lot of work. We’re here to help in any way we can.

• Your friends and family want to help. It may be hard for you to accept help when it’s offered to you. We encourage you to use your village to relieve the stress and get rest during this time.
• Family and friends often think they are helping when they show up and hold the new baby. This is helpful, but when they ask if you need help don’t be afraid to mention the dishes, the laundry, the trash, the groceries that they can also help with. Every mom needs a hand.
• Also, your family is experiencing changes as well.
  • Siblings are sharing their mom with someone new, dads are adjusting too.

It’s important for everyone to have the chance to talk about their feelings and work together to make the transition easier.
