How is everyone coping with visitors?

I literally get so irritated when someone wants to come over (stress cried upstairs the other day), baby is one week old today and people (immediate family) come over try to wake him up or get annoyed that he’s not awake I’m like he sleeps 2-3 hours and is awake for about 45 mins… that is newborns! 😫

I’m so sorry to hear you feel this way. I guess it’s important to set boundaries and be tough with them, especially with family. Everyone is different, but it’s important to express your feelings with visitors xx

Wee have told everyone that we won’t be having visitors for the first two weeks as I can’t be dealing with this! Just be honest with people and say you’re not up to visitors and don’t be afraid to just ignore the door if people ‘pop round’

My little boy is 10 days old and we have still had no visitors! Even grandparents as I am just not ready for someone else to hold and cuddle him yet. The MIL is relentless in asking my husband daily to come round and it's very frustrating but I am standing my ground until I feel ready to 'share' him with anyone but us. Do not be afraid to refuse visitors until you feel ready mummy x

Definitely be honest and say you find it overwhelming and would like more time to settle. I felt this way with my first so have boundaries in place for my second, sending big hugs 💗💗
