New parents need reinforcements, not visitors.
Babies need their parents, to be on their chests for co regulation and brain development. Babies don’t need visitors- their parents need helpers.
Cook, clean, bring food, do laundry, walk the dog, change the sheets, do the groceries, play with the older kids.
Don’t bring your toddlers, your sniffles, your tickley throat, your kisses… babies don’t need any of that and neither do their parents.
Be a reinforcement, not a visitor.
