HI Glamgal (love that moniker - great for anew grandmother!!!)
I am acting as a "doula" for my daughter - teaching her how to be a mother. Am treading gingerly trying not to be too bossy with the new parents. sleep is the most important thing for everyone. Grab it in snatches whenever possible. My daughter tried and then decided against nursing, so they can organize feeding shifts. since she had a c-section her recovery is slower, so this is a good plan for them. You are going to LOVE that baby!
Hey Tether and other grandparents. I am on my way to Philadelphia where my daughter has just gone into labor. I will be an OFFICIAL Grandmother for the first time sometime in the next few days.
Help. Send suggestions for those first two weeks of helping her feel comfortable and doing whatever she and her hubby need to bond and get some sleep. What do you suggest for a newbie ?
