Pampering
Mom and Dad After Baby Arrives
Creating
a date night for mom and dad in the hospital!
Once
baby arrives, mom and dad are no longer the center of attention.
They quickly learn that the words independence, sleep and freedom will
be exiting their vocabulary—replaced with selfless-ness,
sleepless-ness and spontaneous-ness.
Friends
and family visit the hospital to “oooo” and “ahhh” over
little junior (which is completely appropriate!)—however,
mom and dad still need attention too.
So,
that’s where you come in! Consider bringing
a “date night” to their hospital room.
Start
with a good homemade meal--whether deli sandwiches or something
more elaborate. They’ll be overjoyed to skip
the hospital food. Then, bring a basket filled with additional
accoutrements to help them celebrate and relax!
Include
sparkling cider and personalized toasting glasses—add
their names with puffy paint or have us customize with Swarovskicrystals
(similar to these). Email
us at contactus@chicblvd.com with
your request! (So baby isn’t left out, make a customize
bottle too!)
Then,
add some lotions or massage oils so dad can massage mommy’s tired feet after hours of labor. For
ideas check out www.nattyproducts.com–-the
items are so unique and natural!
Include
some of their favorite snacks to indulge during late-night
feeding! You might also want to include some magazines,
playing cards or other items that will make their stay more
enjoyable!
Your
thoughtfulness will not go unappreciated—and they
will surely remember it when you are in the hospital
with your new baby!
