My sister in law is giving birth tomorrow, and I want to support both her and my sister in that first month. They've had a rough ride with IVF. What did you appreciate most as new parents, both as the birthing parent and the non birthing parent? Besides sleep of course!!!

We’ll be there with time, cooking, cleaning, and general hands on help as they need it, but I’m wondering what else new parents genuinely appreciate most as gifts in those early weeks.

For anyone who’s been through it:

- What were the things that made you feel seen, supported, or centred as a new mum?

- Are there practical items you didn’t realise you’d need until the baby arrived?

- Is there anything that really helped the birthing parent feel cared for (physically or emotionally) while everything was revolving around the baby?

Trying to avoid clutter and focus on things that actually make life easier or make them both feel held in the chaos, as most attention from others will go to the baby. Would love your thoughts!

The TC 7900 are the comfiest shoes I own. Does Nike do any that are similar in terms of the space for your foot inside? I have reduced sensation in my feet hence asking as I can't tell if my toes are squashed in shoes etc! Thanks!
