You are absolutely correct!!! 1000% !!! Every new grandling my children have given me, I have left them alone until I was asked over, except for the parental support, gifting food and things dropped on their doorstep so they didn't have to get out and juggle life.

My parents always told us how when my brother (first born) was born, my aunties and uncles just went to their house with a little present each, looked at him once, were happy and then left. I don't know, kinda love that XD

This is good advice for some people and it is never ok to push for visits. I was the complete opposite. I experienced ppd and I really enjoyed people visiting me and interacting with my baby. It was all new and very overwhelming with the baby and having people around made it more normal somehow. Alone I was scared, stressed and lonely. I also got good advice on rashes, breastfeeding and other things.

I want my cousin and thier wife to hear this. They recently had a baby not hardly 3 weeks ago, and she had some sort of fever 2 days after her birth, but not a week after that they came to my Brothers baby shower because they were pressured by my aunt to do so! I wore a mask the whole time, just to keep baby safe.

Makes me really happy seeing a mother who is so supportive and caring for their child. Won’t get at all sad, but it’s a welcome reminder to know such a thing does in fact exist 💜

This is a GREAT idea!!! I love it. Setting boundaries is so healthy and so important, but often difficult to do, and difficult to remember that personal boundaries are your right. Thank you for always reminding everyone that this is a healthy thing to do and that we need to respect ourselves in the processes of things like this, and in general social interactions and processes of life. That gives a really lovely and important time for bonding and enjoying each other's presence, resting and settling into rythms without feeling overwhelmed with extra things and people in the mix. Especially as it also gives everyone you intend to meet an opportunity to get all the necessary vaccines to be in contact with a new baby. Xxxx

I was adopted when I was almost 2yo. It was never a problem really (for me- the baby) as for my parents....house turned upside down, litle to no sleeping, and headaches...a lot of headaches I believe.

[jennifers]

Yes! Don’t feel bad about telling people that you want family time.

[noclue]

I really appreciate how you don’t show the baby’s face. That’s good parenting right there <3

If some people are really pushy about visiting, then tell them to bring food. Then at least you will be fed and don't have to worry about preparing food for yourself and your guests. Even better is when friends and family bring food and leave or only stay to help - like doing the dishes or maybe changing a diaper!

[LeadrynMcKrotch]

I do find it a little concerning how many people come up with the idea that not coming birth to the child will prevent you from bonding with the child like dads don't exist. Like they didn't give birth to the child either. And some step dads/moms also prove they don't have to be yours to bond with. If you can't see yourself not being able to simply love a child unconditionally maybe don't have children

[norathecatwitch]

Trust me. Your bond will be just as strong. My grandma had to bury my uncle yesterday and his birthday is today... she seemed so helpless when he passed on Friday.

[brisebastiano]

Your outfits are so beautiful! Your family is also beautiful! Overall you seem like a lovely human being, enjoy your beautiful life!

[alexandermuller]

Babies are literally angels and the purest living beings.

[rebeccat]

This is good advice for all parents. It’s hard to break the habit to want to entertain when you have visitors, but entertaining with a newborn is just ridiculous.

[DragonGirl]

This advice is new to me, not that I'm planning to have any children haha, but from where I am I think parents/guardians of new moms and dads tend to stay close by to help them whenever possible. I know when my cousin just got his daughter, he and his wife stayed with my aunt and they essentially got a free babysitting service

[Victoriasm]

This was enforced on us by lockdown, but can confirm it works - silver lining

[I.m-Me]

How to bond with anyone: Spend affectionate time with them 💖. Or any good time 🙂

[CarolineCarnivorous]

Before I even got pregnant I've been worried about my parents not respecting our wishes, visits straight after birth being one of them. Luckily the hospital doesn't allow visitors, but once we're home.. idk if they can be kept away. I'm 33 weeks now, so it's getting close!

I would like a 2nd time after baby covid style. Due august 2023!🤰
