My brother came out to help with the twins. He went out and bought us food.</p> <p>When my mom and sister came out, my mom cooked so much and we were very well fed. Yum!</p> <p>MIL has come out a few times and she's made us meals twice. We resort to just buying meals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meal-trainstaking-food-to-new-moms#post-2556514 Wed, 25 May 2016 16:39:12 +0000 autumnleaves 2556514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My MIL was here for 2 weeks when I got home from the hospital with LO2 and didn't cook 1 meal for us. She kept busy with LO1 though. A couple friends brought over meals and that was greatly appreciated </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meal-trainstaking-food-to-new-moms#post-2556507 Wed, 25 May 2016 16:35:16 +0000 cat620 2556507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GreenThumb: This is a good point. My in-laws live in the same city as us, but they only brought us food once when LO1 was born and never when LO2 was born. If the grandma doesn't cook, I would bring the food sooner </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meal-trainstaking-food-to-new-moms#post-2556506 Wed, 25 May 2016 16:34:45 +0000 BSB 2556506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I might have messed up and was in twin mom mode and voted to feed everyone. Haha. Oops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meal-trainstaking-food-to-new-moms#post-2556499 Wed, 25 May 2016 16:28:46 +0000 GreenThumb 2556499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted after grandma leaves, but in the case of my mom who didn't cook once after I had LO, I would have loved a couple of meals from friends! So maybe it depends on what the grandma is like :wink: . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meal-trainstaking-food-to-new-moms#post-2556497 Wed, 25 May 2016 16:27:18 +0000 cat620 2556497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted after grandma leaves. I assume grandma will be doing some cooking while she's there, so it might be most helpful to have food after she leaves </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meal-trainstaking-food-to-new-moms#post-2556495 Wed, 25 May 2016 16:24:41 +0000 MrsF 2556495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sure either way would be appreciated, but for me it would probably more helpful after grandma leaves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meal-trainstaking-food-to-new-moms#post-2556492 Wed, 25 May 2016 16:22:14 +0000 mediagirl 2556492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Let's say your friend just had a baby. Mom is on maternity leave, dad is on 2 weeks of paternity leave. Grandma is visiting for 2 weeks after the baby is born, as well - staying with the new family. Do you take food over after grandma leaves or do you take food when grandma is there and make enough for all 3 of them? </p>
