snacks are wonderful - things she can just have by the bed, throw into her mouth without dishes, etc. also, ask her if there's a movie ot series she likes. the first month or so (for me) was all about nursing and watching netflix!
i agree that a 30 minute visit is as much as new moms should have to handle. and though she may not want to, offer to hold the baby while she showers, brushes her teeth, etc.
also, if it's a close friend and the baby is sleeping, offer to rub her feet. it's been shown that 15 minutes of massage daily is as effective at preventing post-partum depression as anti-depressants.
how thoughtful of you to be so considerate. you sound like a great friend!
