Receiving Guests After Delivery

Filed in archive Childbirth , Post-Natal Issues by ruth on April 25, 2008

Now that the baby is there, everyone's excited to welcome the new addition to your family and see how the new mommy is coping. That's great and understandable. After all, like you, they've been waiting for this moment for so many months too!

However, the first few days (or even weeks) after the birth of your child can be real tough. You will be tired from the delivery and it's normal to feel a bit out of sorts as you adjust to your new role as a parent. Do not feel that you have to play host during this time. You and your baby have been through a tough day. Limit your guests to family and close friends, particularly during the first couple of days, and if you feel that you are getting tired, or that you need some time alone with your baby, be frank and let them know it. They can always return for a visit some other time, when you and your baby feel more up to it. Not only does this frees you up for more bonding time with your baby, it will also reduce the risks of you and your newborn from contracting infections during this susceptible period.
