1) Help her find support in your town/city (many towns and cities have parenting groups, play groups, support groups, etc for young mothers) this will give the teen mom a chance to meet other teen moms and they can support eachother. Some grops even organise "baby sitting rings".
2) offer to help out with baby sitting or some cooking etc
3) Be supportive. Listen to her concerns. Be there for her with a pint of ice cream when she needs a friend.

Be her friend. Give her a break now and then by babysitting. It is unfortunate that she is. I take it her parents are not supportive. I hope that i am wrong. Even just having your parents around and no friends it can be disturbing. Just let her know that you don't think anything bad about her being a mom at that age. If she can't get a babysitter and you guys were going somewhere stay home with her and have a girls night in.

I would let her live her life but someday, we can get together and chat. I am a single mom and I raised my daughter all alone (of course I was 35 and working), but I felt really lonely and depressed. Few friends offered support which I kindly accepted. But the most important is...my daughter always had the basics I myself was able to provide for her.
enjoy your child/children...go places with them, have fun times with them, like I do.

I wasn't a teen mom, but I was a single mom when my son was born. The best thing anyone ever did for me was take him for a few hours so I could get some SLEEP!!!!

Ask what she NEEDS. You would be amazed what that one little question could unfold. A friend to talk to, a little "me" time for herself, or just an afternoon to be a teenager. I'm a single parent myself, but I still like to go out every now and again. I am very fortunate that my ex-husband is involved, my family and friends help out. However, there are still times that between work, being a mom, and just everyday life... I still need a little me time.
She's welcome to contact me for support!!!

Well....what do you mean by help? Help with baby sitting so she can work? Helping her get set up with assistance? I was 17 when my son was born,19 when my daughter was, and I was on my own. I worked by butt off to make a good life for them.....they'll be 5 & 7 and we're pretty comfortable........be there to support her and give her advice. It's not easy, but it's possible for her to make something for herself and her child. Good luck to both of you.

Help her out by babysitting now and then or donating a little bit of money each month, to help her out with groceries.
But most importantly, be there to lend an ear when she wants to talk, laugh, or cry.

Be her friend. Offer to spend time with her and her baby. Help her out financial if possible.

Listening to her.
Being available to her.
Giving her suggestions if she asks for them.
Letting her know that you are always there if she needs you.
