It's not exactly a vacation.

By Susan J., mom of one

 

Don't assume you'll be able to get lots of fun side projects done during your maternity leave, like painting the living room or organizing photographs. Just because you're not working doesn't mean you're on vacation (no matter what your non-parent co-workers might say). You'll be lucky if you get a shower and three meals a day!

Bonding with baby

By Doug Z., dad of two, Double-Duty Dad

 

Do stuff with just you and the baby. You will get to know your kid one-on-one and Mom will appreciate the break. Dads that are only around their kids when Mom is around really miss out on a chance to build a relationship with them early in life.

Registry help

By Meghan M., mom of one

 

Before you register for your baby, ask a friend or relative with a baby about the most useful and most useless baby item she bought/received. A girlfriend with a baby or young child will know more about the new products than your mother or mother-in-law.
