Did anyone make you meals after you had your baby?

Question

What did they make? What worked the best?
My sister is giving birth soon and I’m trying to think about what would be helpful?? 
My family made me things but they weren’t so good by the time I went home (I was in the hospital pretty long).
What about a gift card for something like Jimmy Johns???
Help! Lol

Answer

My mom made my husband and I lasagna. She cut it up into two person servings and froze most of it so we would have and easy home cooked meal when we needed it. she also went to the grocery store and stocked us up on some essentials so we wouldn't have to go out for anything. It was crazy helpful!

Answer

Maybe just buy some prepared frozen family meals. They have cheap generic ones but also some really good specialty ones with better ingredients. 
If she lives pretty close, you could just make double your dinner and drop it off at her door.

Answer

I found a list on Pinterest for freezer meals post partum and made them for myself. I made about 6 main casserole type dishes, beefy bean burritos, breakfast burritos, lactation smoothies, and lactation bites. It took an entire day but it was totally worth it.

Answer

I’d suggest gift cards to any place that will deliver to her house. I appreciated those. I also had someone give me some homemade freezer bags of things like packs for stir fry and fajitas. They were simple to heat and only requires a couple of additional ingredients.

Answer

My mom came over often and would just make a meal while she was here or she would make it at home and just bring it when she would visit. A couple people brought us frozen spaghetti, frozen homemade soup, and other frozen pasta or casseroles.

Answer

I got some casseroles that were frozen and just needed to be heated up. My mom made spaghetti sauce and meatballs. I also had a friend that made me breastfeeding cookies! Those were the best!

Answer

Why don’t you freeze meals so they are easily taken out & heated when needed?
Meatloaf 
Lasagna 
Spaghetti

Answer

I didn’t really feel like I needed meals made, but we got pizza the night my son came home from the hospital and that was about it. After that my husband and I just kind of tag-teamed dinner. He made it one night while I made it the other night and he took care of the baby. It worked for us.

Answer

Yes. I had lots of pasta meals that could be made in large batches.

Answer

My mom made me spaghetti sauce because it’s my favorite thing in the whole world and she does that on all my special occasions. And she took us out to eat a few times so we didn’t have to cook and she cared for the baby the whole time. But other than that we did dinners like we used to, it wasn’t difficult for us.
