Hello,
My sister is a week away from having her first baby. I have a question for any new mums or other mums of course that remember this period of time.
She is a very independent no nonsense woman. She has everything set up ready and she has stated that her and husband will be doing hospital on their own and that we can visit once they have been home for two days so we won't be taking anything present wise to hospital.
I have bought her lots and lots of bits that don't get thought of until you realise you don't have it- ie:bath thermometer, normal thermometer, sudo cream, calpol, sponges, sock, muslin blankets, baby bath, reverse car mirrors so they can see the baby in the back...all along those lines.
But what would be helpful for when we visit- presents, pre cooked meals they can heat up?
I am so long out of having a baby lol. What would have been helpful to you from family visiting after your first born? I have asked her but she said she has no idea what she will struggle with so any suggestions would be appreciated!
