How do new mothers especially first time moms deal with stress? My wife seems so stressed after having our baby 2 weeks ago and I’m unsure of how to help other than take care of the baby when I can. I went back to work and she’ll be a stay at home mom but I recognize that the baby is a lot to deal with. Any tips?

Everything is fine. She has nothing to do but take care of baby. Just don’t toss the baby to high when playing with them and don’t do anything stupid like give them a hot bottle or put them in harms way at all. Your wife will chill out when the baby is in kindergarten. Until then lay low. Basically everything you do will scare your wife.

I had to go on medication for postpartum anxiety. Is there anyone else who can help her while you are gone? The first three months are very tough.
