You get it that a lot of people want to see you and your baby, but sometimes all the catering to visitors can really sap a lot of your energy. To avoid this, here are some tips and suggestions:

You won’t get minus points just because you can’t be the ideal host. The situation is different from when you are holding a party. This time, it would be understandable if you are less accomodating. Chances are, your visitors would understand if you feel tired, or if you need to take care of your baby.

If your visitors offer their help, then grab at the chance. It is most likely that you would need them. I’m sure that your guests are genuinely concerned about you and your baby.

If you wish to pace the flow of visitors at home, you may send out cards to friends and family saying that you have already given birth. You may also include your prefered time to visit in case they would wish to do so.

Be patient and understanding if it gets a little overwhelming. Your guests are equally excited to see you and your baby so do not get easily irritated or annoyed if your visitors become quite enthusiastic.
