[quote=Anonymous]I realize all family dynamics are different, so take this with a grain of salt... I wanted my in-laws to wait until 4+ weeks postpartum to visit because I don't know them that well and I was worried about having them come sooner when we were in the thick of things, figuring out breastfeeding, not sleeping, etc. My mom came for the first week, my sister for the second, then we had no help for weeks 3-5 and my husband was working long hours. In retrospect, it would have been so much better to have my MIL sooner. I was in really rough shape in weeks 3-4 and really could have used the help. My MIL can be somewhat overwhelming and has a lot of strong opinions/suggestions, but in an exhausted state, her help ended up being invaluable. [/quote]
