You’re not just a bystander—you’re a pillar of strength. Here’s how to be a supportive, hands-on partner:
- Listen Without Fixing: Sometimes your partner just needs a safe space to vent or cry. Resist the urge to problem-solve. Just be present, nod, hold a hand, or say: “I’m here.”
- Share the Load: Laundry, food, diaper runs—these little acts are the love language of early parenthood. Your effort eases the burden and deepens your bond.
- Encourage Self-Care: Your partner might feel guilty for needing space. Gently suggest a nap, a walk, or an hour off while you take over baby duties. Reassurance goes a long way.
At Borneo, our parenting support programs help both partners thrive—not just survive.
