Let's Dress Up -- tradition Idea

When a new baby arrive, whether it is the first or an additional one, it is easy for a couple to suddenly feel as though they have lost their identity. As soon as the couple is ready, encourage them to dress up in their nicest clothes and go out for dinner. Offer to be the baby-sitter and help them try to hold onto things they enjoyed as a couple before the baby arrived. If you are the new couple, then as a close friend to watch you little one for a couple of house so the two of you can reconnect and enjoy something “old and familiar” in the midst of everything that is new and changing.
