I'd recommend offering to bring dinner over one evening - to hang out with them and the baby.

Jax is never going to cash that free babysitting pass I gave him. It's an easy gift to give. -- nm

depends. why did you ignore them? just make sure it doesn't expire for, like, two years. may be awhile before they want to leave the baby.

Yes, though the babysitting is not generally a reality until the kid is 6 months old.

Sh***. The free babysitting alone is worth more than mara's ounce of gold. (nm)

Yes. But: Likelyhood of parents leaving a 6-week old at home with a babysitter is 50/50, though. -- nm
