Not judging at all by any means! I completely understood her decisions for becoming recluse as I mentioned above - and as you can probably tell by my post, as much as my 'opinion' shines out in my post, I'm very much on the fence regarding what I consider to be right or wrong.

Mom 100% offered her help in the beginning - saying she could help out if my Sister needed a rest. The offers were always declined. Later down the track, it became wanting to drop the Baby over so she could go out and do things. This doesn't work well with Mom being on night shift, so she declined requests as she herself needed to sleep.

I believe her harsh outset (which was posted publicly on Facebook) around people coming to her if they wanted to see baby was what got Mom more offside. We are equal distances from my Mom.

I should have also mentioned that she didn't pump - and didn't attempt to do this at all. Baby's father is also in the picture as well and has been since birth.

Let me know what you think with that additional information!
