  • Deliver dinner. We all know that there is nothing better than Christmas lunch or dinner, so why not deliver a plate of turkey and fixings to a new mum? Give her a break from the hospital food and at the same time remind her that she is in your thoughts.

  • Lend a hand instead of a gift. During the festive season, offer to look after any older kids for a few hours since there is nothing better than a ‘silent night’ (or day) for a new mum. You could also offer to give the house a quick clean. Chances are new parents will appreciate the small break way more than something material.

  • Fill up the fridge. Imagine the joy of coming home to a fridge and pantry full of Christmas goodies, especially if the new mum has spent some time eating hospital food. Think lots of seasonal fruits, Christmas treats and staples or even pre-cooked meals.

  • Prepare a home spa day. Chances are Mum is not going to want to leave the side of her new bub nor the comfort of her home. Instead, pick up a couple of face masks, some cucumber, green tea and a good chick flick for a cheap and simple way of making her feel like a star.

Tell us what you’ve done for new parents to ease them into parenthood. What would you have loved someone to do for you?
