Hello this is Jennifer
from
http://www.ilovebeingamom.com. I wanted to address a question
this week that I received. The mom was due in two months and she
had another little girl also and she was like how do you do it? How
did you do it those first six weeks with meals to cook for your
family?
As soon as you have the
baby you are tired, you are going to be up at night breast feeding
or formula feeding whichever you do, and it just really takes a toll
on you those first six weeks if you don’t have any help. I didn’t
really have that much help so what I did was my neighbor was really
big into freezer meals so she had a little shower for me right
before my youngest was born.
What the shower was was
instead of bringing normal baby items for a baby shower it was a
food baby shower. Each guest that came would make a meal that could
be frozen up to three months per say. Each day when I had my
youngest little girl I would take one of those freezer meals out,
pop it in the oven and I had a meal by super each evening for my
family and they didn’t have starve or have my husband try to cook a
meal that wouldn’t probably get done because he’s not a cooker.
I just wanted to give
that to you as an example because it’s a wonderful way to help the
moms those first six weeks to not be so busy and have to worry about
all of my family being fed oh I’m gonna have to get up and get
super. Definitely do that for your family.
If you don’t want to
really have a baby shower then just pass the word out to your
family, your friends, your husband’s side of the family, your church
family, if they ask what is one thing I can help you do then by all
means say if you could cook me one meal say Lasagna, Spaghetti
things that are good freezer meals and you can do a search on the
internet for freezer meals and you will get a lot of recipes, good
things that will freeze well.
I just wanted to address
that question because it was a very good question and something that
all moms should have help with those first six weeks. That’s a wrap
for this session and I thank you and hug those baby’s tight.
