How can I help a single mother?
Right now, she is experiencing pain from a broken relationship. Give her time to heal from a broken heart and she will come around to understanding that you and other friends are truely there for her. You can help by being a baby-sitter to give her quality time alone. If this is her first baby, she will definitely need you. I had to be there for a relative when she nearly lost her mind changing diapers and she was performing feedings at all hours of the day or night. She will need help also to bathe the baby each day, and she will do this for a long, time until the child is able to do it alone, and she will get tired and frustrated and will need someone to step in and help. Help her especially with the carrying of the extra pounds of weight that will get heavier each day and must remain on her hip until the baby is old enough to walk. Please consider that the baby will never be out of her eye-sight or hearing distance, and the baby will travel everywhere with her, via car, subway, bus
