Re-organising the couple's life
Like a mother for him
The new dad always love to be mothered
Before you took time to discuss every thing, what he should wear, you nursed him when ill; you were at his beck and call!
Now, be careful as the time you use to spend looking after him is nearly all spent caring for baby, this require to be balanced.
Lovers
Before you spend your week end mollycoddled! Always a thought for him during the day, you improvised private talks, outings.
Now without hesitation and a little organisation, you can still organise a monthly outing just for the two of you. Call grandma to the rescue, surprise him by reserving a table at one of your favourite restaurant when you were still two!
A couple of energetic young people
Before you went out with friends, you passed loving week ends at the see side, you had a hectic life, without forgetting a passionate job. ……… just the two of you!
Now one must find a balance between “business woman” and “mother hen”. New dads must rebalance their working hours. It is a question of organisation to fit in work, dinner with friends, family time.
Lover’s evening
Since the birth no more lovers’s evening going out together! Nothing is stopping you - it is a question of organisation
A lot of new parents become voluntary slaves to their baby. Whilst baby brings joy and happiness it is vital to address the couple’s life.
It is not necessary to stay cloistered at home and unthinkable to leave baby during these moments of spare time activities. Take baby where ever you go, acquire the necessary equipment such as portable cot, flexible push chair, a sense of humour, courage and physical fitness. Baby will benefit by being stimulated, smart, discovering the world by observing. But what ever you do baby must sleep either in a room next door whilst you are dinning at friends, play cards, dance or involve in a fascinating debate, then rolled into a blanket take him home when ready.
Lack of sleep, stress due to noise, crowded environment are source of imbalance
and dangerous.
Sometime it is not suitable for baby to come too so find someone you know and trust to look after him. One could organise a weekly time and day when the same person comes to look after baby at home, for example every Thursday night.
