What did you appreciate or want most when you were on maternity leave?
I’m in an unusual situation where my husband’s paternity leave policy is better than mine, so he’s taking more time off. We’ve both been home with our son since he was born, and I’ll soon be returning to work while he continues to stay home with our son for a few more months.
I’d like to make his life as easy as possible since I know it’s a hard job to take care of a baby. What were some things you appreciated, or wished for, when you were on maternity leave?

I would have appreciated if he’d made me lunch when he made his for work. Sometime, when baby was being particularly fussy, it would get to 3pm and I wouldn’t have had chance to make myself any food
Having some quality alone time, like being able to go to the gym or take a long bath. The other is helping with prep like bottles
Agree with - meal prep is a game changer for me. For myself and for bubs once they are on solids.
