While it’s important for parents to plan a safe birth of their baby, they also set themselves up for the best possible start in their new life. They can do this by also planning for a period of cosy cocooning with their new baby. This means a few weeks of very private time at home with minimal visitors or trips out of the home. Babies are easily overwhelmed by different people and busy environments, and mothers need more time to recover physically than what women usually allow themselves. Those of us in the extended circle around a family expecting a baby have a role to play in supporting them - more than they feel they can ask of you. But we can offer, and they will appreciate it more than words can say.
