My inlaws came to the hospital the next day. And then they didnt come by until about a week of us being home. My bestfriend also saw baby day she was born as she was in the hospital with me. Everyone else? They didnt meet her until she was almost 10 weeks old. They needed their whooping cough vaccine, their rsv, & flu vaccine. Most people met her when she was closer to 4mths old.
6 weeks pp my in laws visited very quickly. Noone came before 6 weeks pp
Only their grandparents can visit them before three months everyone else can wait till after the newborn phase. It goes by too fast and I get too overwhelmed postpartum.
Grandparent came after delivery but after that I gatekept my baby until 6 months. Kept it for me and my husband for serious bonding. Then introduced new faces at 6 months starts the phase of learning familiar faces vs strangers. My husband took his leave during this time to help strengthen their bond and familiarity. & family is raving about how calm and well mannered he is at 11m. I really think that helped reduced any sort of anxiety and increase trust. But also could be a fluke đź«
After 6 weeks seems sensible. You need time to bond and adjust
