[quote=Anonymous]I think you should have your mom come after DH goes back. I had a c-section with my first one and my husband and I were just fine when he was home on paternity leave (for 3 weeks). We made some freezer meals beforehand, so that helped, too. I think it's really nice to just have time alone to get to know your baby without interference. If your mom comes, definitely have her do housework while you take care of baby and DH takes care of baby + you. Don't let your mom hold the baby endlessly while you do other stuff, and make sure DH gets plenty of time with the baby, too. If your mother is at all interfering or making you doubt your instincts or feel insecure, get her out of there ASAP (as nicely as you can).[/quote]
