It would be great for her if you could spend one evening a week with her - even just sitting watching the soaps together. Or on a good evening put the lo into a buggy and go for a walk.
I found Saturday the worst I don't know why (my sil and I talked about this recently and she agrees) so maybe you could go shopping with her every other Saturday or something.
She is very fortunate to have a sister like you who obviously cares about her- I have four brothers and they never helped me at all during that time.
