3 approaches by moms

Managed Visits45% moms chose this path

Limit visitors to close family and friends, with agreed visiting times and boundaries.

This approach suits parents who want to share their joy but also protect their newborn's delicate immune system and their own recovery. Most parents find that setting expectations upfront helps avoid awkward situations and ensures a smoother postpartum period.

Chloe T.. · First-time mom · Baby at 2 months

We asked everyone to sanitise hands and no kissing baby's face. Visits were kept short, about an hour, which was perfect for our feeding schedule.

Recovery-First Approach35% moms chose this path

Delay or significantly restrict visits during the early postpartum period.

Suits moms prioritising deep rest, bonding, and minimising germ exposure during the crucial early weeks. Many experience less stress and more uninterrupted time to establish feeding routines and recover physically.

For my second, we told everyone no visits for the first month. It was the best decision; I actually got to rest and bond without feeling pressured to host.

Open-Door Approach15% moms chose this path

Welcome family and friends soon after delivery, with minimal restrictions on visits.

This approach is ideal for parents who appreciate company and practical assistance during the postpartum period. Visitors are encouraged to help with chores or bring meals, making their presence genuinely supportive.

My friends were amazing, they'd drop off food or help with laundry. It made having visitors feel less like hosting and more like genuine support.

Expert guidance

Newborns have developing immune systems and are vulnerable to infections, while mothers need rest to recover. HealthHub advises parents to decline visitors until a routine is established, and KKH strictly prohibits guests with respiratory symptoms. What matters most is setting boundaries that protect your baby's health and prevent maternal fatigue during the first 28 days.
