She would come over and let me nap! She also occasionally made dinner. She would just hang out and watch tv with me while I cared for the baby. Take turns feeding him bottles. A true godsend.
Nothing because once you have a baby, your childless friends disappear

Bring food, walk the dog, ask if i needed anything specific from the store, take out the diaper trash, fold a load of laundry. It was most helpful when the person volunteered what they were able/willing to do (e.g “can I come over and watch the baby while you nap?”) rather than saying “let me know if you need anything.”
Talked to me about non-baby related things ❤️
