Let's talk: visitors

If you already have visitors lined up to visit your new baby, here are a few ways we recommend preparing for them in advance:

🏡 Your Space: If they’ll be staying overnight and you don’t have an extra bed, consider one of these highly rated folding mattresses.

⏰ Their Expectations: We compiled answers to common questions for excited friends and family. (If they ask for lots of info, just send them the article.)

💆‍♀️ Your New Family’s Needs: We also asked a postpartum mother-baby nurse for her top postpartum hosting tips, which include “resist the urge to entertain” and “set clear limits.”

And with ~42 days until you're due, swelling might be on the rise, so stick around for our shoe recommendations below!
