There are many different ways your organization can care for new moms. For example, you can:
- Offer a new mom support group.
- Create a “warm line” – a phone number new moms in your area can call for support.
- Get together once a month, or once a quarter, to prepare meals that can be frozen and delivered to new moms as needed.
- Send a card to let a new mom know you’re thinking of her.
- Offer to babysit for a new mom’s older children, so she can spend some one-on-one time with her new addition.
- Give a new mom a night off! Offer to babysit all of her kids so she can take a breather.
- Lend your ear. Even experienced moms go through an adjustment period during the first few months, and just having someone to talk to can make a huge difference.
