Our daughter is expecting her first baby in May and I am looking forward to supporting her. She's local to us and happy to have more help in first week or so as she and her husband are new to parenting. What tips do you have for me? I want to do the right things to help eg washing up and cooking while she feeds and gets to know baby. How long do I spend there each day? I'm thinking of coming in the mornings not staying over as it's only a 15 min drive. I've told her we will play it by ear and I will not be offended if she and her husband want a bit of space . But because she has mental health issues I can help getting a bit anxious about how she'll cope. I basically need to balance helping her with allowing her to build confidence, avoid being in the way but I can't ask her what she wants from me as she can barely imagine what those first days and weeks will be like.Any tips gratefully accepted.
