Hello, my friend is due to have her first baby imminently, and will be a single parent. The father wants nothing to do with his child and is in deep denial. She also doesn't have family around to support her and all in all is going to be going into motherhood in a difficult position. I am giving her all of our baby things that are in good condition that she would like snuzpod, baby bath, breast pumps, bouncer, clothes etc and I have got her a pram/travel system as a present, but I wanted to ask what practical help would be most appreciated by a single parent to a newborn? I found the early days difficult enough with a partner and family around to help and I just want to make it as stress free as possible for her. I'm planning on batch cooking and freezing meals for her and obviously will take the baby so she can rest in the early days but is there anything else I can do that I haven't thought of?
