Before having kids I thought you were supposed to put together gift packages for expecting friends .. as society has conditioned us to believe that all new mothers need more “stuff” for their baby (spoiler alert - they don’t. a new baby barely wears any clothes and I can promise you she has them already).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What a new mother really needs is HELP. Support. Love. An extra set of hands around the house so she can spend time with her baby. She needs nourishment, food. Meals, groceries. She needs time and space to heal, and people to support her in all other areas of her life so she can devote that time and space to her healing.

So if you’re currently expecting or know a mama friend who is, I hope you think of this little list. Share it with others to give them that gentle nudge so they know how to support you when the time comes 🖤
