FTM here and I've been lucky that family and coworkers, even acquaintances of my husband and I have been so supportive and generous with baby gifts. I really couldn't ask for more, but I read an article on my FB feed about how the time new mothers really need to feel pampered and supported is in the early weeks PP. During this time you may not have energy to cook or shop, yet need a lot of calories for recovery and breastfeeding. So are there any foods that others could bring you after birth that would make you feel pampered and nourished? For myself I will be thrilled if my husband brings me sushi and lets me order a pizza or two...these are things we don't usually splurge on! If someone offers to bring me food when they come to see the baby, what should I ask for??

My husband would be thrilled if we had pizza every day! The thought of that heartburn at the moment....oh!

Plus, we just found out from a family member who couldnt attend the shower that she is gifting us 10 pre-prepared freezer meals from Tastefully Simple so all we will have to do is cook it!
Best shower gift ever!
Secretly I'm also looking forward to asking my bestie to bring me a Tim Horton's breakfast sandwich though, I haven't had one of those since October! Mmmm..

My first pp meal out will be to Pizza Hut buffet followed by DQ (for a peanut buster parfait).
