Strategy: Two tips for teaming up when baby arrives

  • Plan to be at home together for the first two weeks of the baby’s life. This will help you adjust to your new life.
  • Before the baby is born, plan your strategy together. For example, let each other know in advance what your expectations are regarding the division of household chores and find concrete ways to allow everyone to have some time to themselves. This is especially important for the mother after giving birth.
