We all agree a new baby is one of the most wonderful things in the whole wide world, and we must take great care of their well-being at all times. But sometimes the new mother can feel a little overlooked, after all it was her who carried this little bundle of joy for nine months. This article looks at some fun ways we can show the new mum she is still loved and just as important as she ever was.
Breakfast In Bed
It may seem a bit of a simple treat, but this is one little gesture that never gets old. It is even better when it is a surprise treat, just try and be a little original with your heavenly offerings. Instead of a bowl of cereal and a slice of chewy toast, push the culinary boat out a little bit. If you are no whizz in the kitchen, get up a little earlier and get hold of some fresh muffins courtesy of the local bakery. Add some organic strawberry jam and a little fruit salad and you will be the flavour of the month once more!
Cookery Help
Offer to cook a whole load of her favourite cakes or pastries, ask for the exact recipe first though. If you are ham fisted when it comes to baking, ask a few more talented friends to pitch in and cook up a whole month’s supply if her favourite treats. Present these in a lovely picnic hamper and remember to freeze the leftovers until the next time she has a penchant for your pastries.
Be Useful Around The House
Instead of making yourself scarce when it is time for housework, why not offer your services in advance. Design and present her a rota that shows you are clearly putting your duster where your mouth is and get ready for some hard work. Just ensure that you back this up with some sweat inducing domestic chores and you will be thanked back in kind!
Update Your DVD Library
Find out which movies your lady really wants to see and add these to her all-time favourite romantic comedies. The downside us that you will have to watch these without showing your boredom, the upside is that she will be in a romantic mood after the movie ends!
Become An Expert On All Things Baby Related
Spend an hour a day researching about that all important first year of parenthood. You will be able to give some informed advice and opinions when your input is required. Just don’t boast about your apparent fountain of fatherhood knowledge, this will definitely be a turn off.
Offer To Attend Mother And Baby Groups
Many young and first time mothers really wish their other halves would come to these interesting and fun playgroups. You may be surprised to discover they are a lot of fun and an important source of valuable baby related information. You may even meet like minded couples while you are there.
