[quote=Anonymous]I have friends who don't have family here or anyone who cooks, so I bring them lasagna because it's a homey thing I know they won't get otherwise. Sometimes I drop off picnic type foods for the hospital -- bread and cheese or sushi! -- and then follow up with a heavier meal a week or two later. The best thing I received postpartum was a fruit arrangement. I was dying for fresh fruit and it hit the spot. If you know the mom well, I like the previous suggestion of offering a few different ideas and letting them pick. Finally, I sometimes wait until 4-6 weeks after delivery and when everyone has gone home and the dad back to work. I will order lunch and bring it over, hold the baby, while the mom eats. It gives her some company during the long days and we get a real visit in. Works only for good friends, of course.[/quote]
