ok i have to be honest and say my mum was a LIFESAVER in those first few weeks.

We were both new parents and both clueless to say the least....

Being over tired doesnt help neither! Mum didnt interfere, but did help with whatever we asked. Whether it was cleaning some bottles, washing the clothes, or just cuddling ds for an hour while we got some sleep.

Dh was home for 3 weeks so I was lucky but we still needed my mum as well.
This is the exact same as us. We had my mum staying with us for the first week and it was a godsend.

This time we are again having her stay with us for the first week, then she will be taking DS#1 to her place for a week so that Myself, DH and bubby have time to ourselves for a bit before mum brings the other one back home.
