Visitors - the hardest part of having a newborn

Postpartum Recovery

Does anybody else agree that boundaries and expectations from visitors is the hardest part of having a newborn? Me and my husband discussed visitors before I gave birth and we agreed that only immediate family would visit for the first week or two, then after this we would open it up to extended family and close friends.

As it happens I am only 10 days PP and we’ve had every Tom, Dick and Harry round. It’s so overwhelming and I can’t wait for the visiting to stop! Anybody else in the same boat?!
