[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was one of the first PPs here, and, reading all these responses, it seems that one of the key variables is your spouse's availability. I was the one whose mom came after 11 days, and, now that I think about it, my husband went back to work after 7 days. No wonder I wanted my mom by 11 days! (FTR, my husband took six weeks of paternity leave after my maternity leave.) I do think that if you and your spouse are taking extended simultaneous leaves, having your mom there as well might get a little crowded. But assuming one of you has to go back to work, that seems like a great time for back up to arrive![/quote] My husband was with us and I still wanted my mom. My husband was not an experienced parent, he had no idea how to breastfeed, he didn't have an arsenal of baby calming techniques, he was not good at spotting the laundry/dishes/etc. that needed to be done and he was just as sleep deprived as I was![/quote]
