- Set out clean pajamas and towels for after her shower.
Priority actions
NutritionPriority
Prepare breakfast with protein and refill Jordan's water
Recovery and milk supply both depend on steady calories and hydration. Waiting to be asked usually means it happens hours late.
15 min EasyMorning
Baby carePriority
Wash and reassemble all bottles and pump parts
Owning the bottle station means she never has to check whether clean parts exist before a feed or a pump session.
20 min EasyAfternoon
Baby carePriority
Take Maya after the next feed for diapering, burping and soothing
A full care cycle you own end-to-end is different from helping. She should be able to hand over and stop tracking it.

Also worth doing today
Recovery
Check the incision area with her
Increasing pain, redness, swelling, warmth or drainage at a C-section incision can indicate infection and needs a provider call.
5 min EasyMorning
Emotional support
Manage all visitor messages today
Replying to family is invisible labor. Owning the group chat removes a dozen small decisions from her day.
10 min EasyAfternoon
Emotional support
Ask: Do you want comfort, solutions, or quiet right now?
Most postpartum friction comes from offering the wrong kind of support. Asking once removes the guesswork for the whole evening.
2 min EasyEvening
Recovery
Restock the bedside recovery station
Getting up at 3 AM for pads, water or pain relief costs her sleep she cannot get back.
10 min EasyNight
