When the kids are asleep, give your wife a massage. It doesnât matter if you have hardly any energy, do it for her. She uses far more energy than you to support the family. Even if itâs just for 5-10 minutes, itâs better than nothing.
Give her time to herself. Itâs simple, isnât it? But most dads donât give their wives enough time, especially after birth. You need to be there as much as you can! After birth, the baby needs mama the most, but you can keep the house clean, stay calm, massage her, and do whatever you can to make her life easier.
Do the little things. As mentioned above, make her life easier â clean, cook, massage, help with the kids, and do as much as you can so there isnât too much pressure on her. This means taking time off work, creating a plan to work for yourself, and involving grandparents and friends to help.
Make the decision to get everyone out into nature. This is important as we can easily forget how nourishing nature can be. Babies and kids will push you in so many ways, and nature helps us reset, rejuvenate, and provides us with natural energy.
Work efficiently so you can spend more time with your family. Make a plan and make it happen.
Inspire her to work out and move her body. It can be easy for a mum to forget about her health as she focuses on nurturing the baby or kids. For this to happen, she needs time. Take the kids and let her flow/work on herself.
On top of giving birth, mum needs to breastfeed, nurture the baby, and so much more. Youâll both be sleep-deprived and working endlessly, so itâs crucial to sit down and communicate each otherâs needs. Youâre in this together, and for that to last forever, you need to work together â communication is key.
If you see that itâs overwhelming for her, step in and help. Always ask, but if you can see that sheâs resisting help and truly needs it, take the baby or kids and be with them, while mum has some much-needed time for herself.
It all comes down to teamwork and individual time. Both parents need their individual time but also couple time. Donât forget about your relationship.
