7 rules of thumb for new dads that every mom wishes they knew ♥️ These are 7 little things my husband did that made me feel so supported during the newborn stage. Sometimes it’s the smallest gestures that make the biggest difference 🥹 1. Change baby’s diaper before putting them in the car seat. Start every car ride clean and comfortable. 2. Whenever Mom is feeding the baby, bring her water. Don’t ask…. just make it a rule. 3. Don’t leave milk bottles scattered around the house. Rinse them, wash them, or put them where they need to go. 4. If the dishwasher is clean or the trash is full, handle it. Empty the dishwasher and take out the trash at least once a day before she has to ask. There will always be more bottles and diapers coming 😂 5. Baby’s “phone, wallet, keys” are diapers, wipes, and milk. Never leave the house without those three. Bonus points for a spare outfit and paci 6. If Mom looks stressed, ask, “What’s one thing I can take off your plate today?” Make it a Saturday rule…. or anytime she looks overwhelmed 7. If Mom has makeup on, take a picture of her with the baby. Don’t wait for her to ask. Try to get at least one good photo of Mom and baby every week. Save this for the new dad in your life or send it to a husband who could use a little reminder! ❤️🥰 and link in bio for this sweater & this comfy outfit on @LTK ✨ #NewDadTips #PostpartumSupport #NewParents #Motherhood #DadLife
