Build a Village: A Simple Plan to Support a New Mom (That Actually Helps)

What is the Village Plan?

The Village Plan is a printable chart designed to help your people plug into your postpartum season in a way that feels meaningful—without you having to manage it all.

You (or a friend organizing for you) can fill out each section based on who’s available and willing to help. It’s like assigning love languages—but for support. 💛

Categories Include:

• The Encourager: texts affirmations, reminds you you’re doing great

• The Meal Fairy: brings food (or Starbucks!), stocks snacks

• The House Help: folds laundry, loads the dishwasher, empties the trash

• The Baby Whisperer: holds baby so you can shower, nap, or breathe

• The Errand Runner: Target runs, Amazon returns, quick pick-me-ups

• The Boundaries Buddy: helps you protect your space when you're too tired to say no

How to Use It:

• Print it out and keep it on the fridge (or inside a shared Google Doc if your village is virtual

• Assign friends/family based on their strengths or what they want to help with

• Share it at your baby shower, in a group text, or with your doula/postpartum planner

• Let it be a guide, not a rulebook—adapt it to what you need
