Having a new addition to the family can be a bit stressful. There are so many different things that go through a new parents mind. All the worries about doing the right thing seem to weigh down new parents, especially the mother.

Having a baby will take up a lot of the free time that once was available. To help out the mother, you could start by doing the laundry. Keeping a fresh, clean burp rag handy at a moment’s notice helps out a lot. Also doing the laundry relieves stress from the mother who is probably still in some pain due to the birth. By doing this simple task, it will give the mom more time to be with the baby and save her from stooping, bending and lifting heavy loads from the washer to the dryer.
