[quote=Anonymous]Hotel, hand washing, and no social media are reasonable I think. And similarly, deciding when you are ready for guests (we did the first week alone before having people come when our first was born, and I liked having time to just settle in as a family of 3). The flu test stuff depends on when you’re due— if it’s during the summer, cases are probably low enough to not matter. It’s more reasonable during the winter Some things don’t need to be rules up front. Holding the baby too long? “I am just going to take him and see if he’s hungry” (disappear and do whatever you want). The great thing about breastfeeding is that it’s an excuse to take the baby and just do whatever. I also think you’re underestimating the power of sleep deprivation. It’s brutal, and you may be very grateful for hands to take a baby. [/quote]
