When you brought your newborns home for the first time did you have "rules" about visitors and visitor's behavior toward the baby?
My twins are preemies and are currently still in the hospital. When they come home I'd like for them to be comfortable and for them to gradually adjust to the new environment and the amount of socializing that term babies are used to. They've been in the NICU and don't really get the same level of social activity, they don't have a lot of people holding them and passing them around and cooing over them. The occupational therapist at the hospital gave us a packet of information regarding preemies and what kind of things to adjust at home so they don't get stressed out. I feel like if I tell family and friends that they can't come over at a certain time, or they can't do things like pick up the babies and pass them around, or that they need to leave them alone if they are sleeping they'll think that I'm rude or mean. I'm just trying to protect my fragile babies until they are ready for more.
Does this seem fair to you? How would you tell family and friends about the terms of visitation?
