I wish I had educated my close family and friends better - it would have made my first few months a little better. - Go food shopping for them.
Drop in, but don't expect to stay long
Leave some prepared meals in their fridge when they get back.
Help them with the wash
Help pick up while they nap
Don't hover over the baby
Teach your other friends the right way to welcome home a new child - don't over crowd, leave primary care to the parents
