Try to help out as much as you can. There's a lot of pressure on new moms to do everything right, that she should just know what to do. She'll be physically exhausted from feeding and lack of sleep, not to mention emotionally exhausted. Whether you can help out with the baby, or just take over more of the other responsibilities (cooking, cleaning, etc.), or get more help with those things.

You might like to ask family to visit and help. It might bring you closer.

Take as much time off as you can. It's a really sweet time to bond.
