Time spent playing on the floor or watching your baby sleep is time well spent. Play a lot. Nothing is better than fun for dissipating tension and for forging trust and good relationships with babies. Take advantage of your baby's portability. Don't be afraid to take your baby out with you.
Stimulation is good for kids, and babies make great adventure companions.
Besides, you'll get lots of attention, too. Be extra patient, supportive, and communicative with your partner. Giving birth can be traumatic, and hormones continue to ebb and flow after childbirth. If there is ever a time to be understanding of your baby's mom, and available to her, too, this is it. Try not to schedule too many things in one day.
