my friend just had a baby. she text saying she would call me at weekend but never which is not surprising since she has a brand new baby. i have been waiting and waiting to call her and i wasnt sure when the right time was??? im out all day at work. called there and she is feeding. so when is the right time to call. told her hubby i would call back but do i just give her time and let her call me. dont know new baby ettiquette, ha ha!

To be honest though, i would just keep trying, but remember she probably wont get chance to get back to you so try not to be offended.
hope you get hold of her soon!
As when you are a new mum all those extra things like washing up, putting the washing out etc can make it real hard work, and although it's nice to help with the baby it is nice to give the mum that time too if you kwim.
If you do go round dont stay too long thats all because yes she will not have had as much sleep as normal and will be tired.
I know when my friend had her baby I was round the day after she came out of hospital to see her and baby. She'd have been annoyed with me if I hadnt gone round.
