For First time, new moms..?
Answer:
Newborns really have a limited repertoire -- you should ask about feedings (both formula feeders and breastfeeding moms probably have LOTS of questions), diapering, and sleeping (and lack of it for new moms!). Maybe some screening questions for post-partum depression or even "baby blues" and making sure the new mom has some relief or help. Great thing you're doing! Good luck!
I think that a program like this is a really good idea. When you call them on the phone just ask them if they have any question and then offer some help if they like. I know that I would have really liked this after my son was born.
ask how she is feeling. somehow we forget the mom has tender feelings after a birth and the baby gets all the attention. but if we hold her up and let her know she has a very big job now, there is someone, tiny and so helpless that needs her love more than anything. stir up the mother in her, the protective, nurturing, pride, the i will do anything for my child will kick in. because sometimes the diaper rash, the crying when we do not know why, the up all nights, takes a parent that loves the baby and wants only the best for them. so make sure she is up and happy and then the small things will work themselves out.
First of all I wouldn't refer to a woman who had a c-section as not having a "normal" delivery. You either have a c-section or a vaginal delivery.
Good Luck
You can talk to her about anything. Odds are, if she's at home alone with an infant all day, she'll talk about hobbies, the baby, or anything else you can think of... sometimes it's just nice to know someone cares.
I think advice and support around breastfeeding would be helpful. Usually around that time moms are getting frustrated and exhausted and likely to give up nursing. It would be helpful to be encouraged in this matter. Also maybe about post partum depression resources.
