Back to Work? Here’s How to Support Your Partner at Home

BlogArticle

If your other half is home with your new baby, chances are they’re juggling a million things—feeds, naps, nappy changes, and everything in between. And while you’re back at work, there are still plenty of ways you can show up and support them. These little gestures don’t take much time, but they make a huge difference.


Small Tasks, Big Impact

Here’s how you can help lighten the load and stay connected:

  1. Own the morning routine
    Start the day with a coffee or tea for your partner. It’s a small act of kindness that says, “I see you.”
  2. Take bub for a stroll
    Give your partner a chance to catch a few more zzz’s while you enjoy some fresh air with your little one.
  3. Make space for a shower and brekkie
    Before heading out, make sure your partner gets a moment to freshen up and eat. It sets a positive tone for their day.
  4. Stock the fridge with easy snacks
    Think one-handed options—yoghurt, fruit, muesli bars. Parenting is full-on, and quick fuel is a lifesaver.
  5. Tackle a chore or two
    A load of laundry, emptying the dishwasher, or taking out the rubbish might seem small, but it’s one less thing for your partner to worry about.
  6. Refresh the nappy station
    Empty the nappy bin, restock wipes and nappies, and make sure everything’s within reach. Trust us, it helps.
  7. Take over the evening routine
    Bath time and bedtime are perfect bonding moments with bub—and they give your partner a well-earned break.
  8. Check in during the day
    A quick message or call can mean the world. Being home with a baby can feel isolating, and your support matters more than you know.

Bonus Tip: Choosing the Right Nappy

Want to make life even easier? Pick a nappy that’s soft, absorbent, and reliable. BabyLove nappies are designed to keep bub comfy and dry, with features like:

  • Gentle, breathable materials
  • Secure leak protection
  • Wetness indicators
  • A comfy fit that moves with your baby

Because when bub’s happy, everyone’s happy.
