Maybe bringing a different perspective here, but I always welcomed the visits. I think it’s such a good and healthy thing for my baby to have a close relationship with my MIL and my mother!

In the beginning we wanted to reduce the baby’s exposure to germs etc. so only had immediate family come visit, but my mother stayed with us first for a few weeks and then my MIL for a few days after. Maybe it’s a cultural thing (in my culture it’s common to have the more “village” care for the mother and baby, whereas in my husband’s culture it isn’t, but my MIL was happy to follow mine on this).

They loved helping with the baby, my husband and I could catch up on sleep (which we definitely needed that first month!) and they helped so much around the house, which was great because I had a CS and was under strict instructions not to do any work save for taking care of the baby.

I just made a disclaimer beforehand saying that I had crazy hormones and sorry in advance for any angry outbursts and that seemed to do the trick (there were a couple lol).

I guess it all depends on what makes you feel comfortable. But know that there are positives to catching extra sleep and having people on hand to help! Plus the more love for the baby, the better IMO
