[quote=Anonymous]I had a very long, hard labor and was advanced maternal age :-). My husband and I were already exhausted by the time we got to the hospital to have the baby. I ended up having a lot of challenges breastfeeding and I pumped and we did bottles so there was lots of parts and bottles cleaning. My mom came after a few days and stayed 2 weeks and I cried like a sad hungry baby when she left. My husband did not have paternity leave but took a few days off after my mom left. I’m close to my mom and she is a worker, happy to hold baby or make dinner or do laundry. So she was pretty much the best. We would have been happy for her and also my dad to stay longer. I agree with others that it depends on your relationships and how helpful your mom and sis might be. My friend’s mom sat in the couch and offered opinions the whole time, never provided a meal.
