My MiL is more than happy to come and help after the birth and I think she'll be great at all the practical household stuff (better than my mum in fact), but I'm really unsure when is the best time.
Is it best to have the first 2-3 days with just the new arrival and DP, to bond as a new family and get her in afterwards, or do you really need the help straightaway? I know this is very subjective, but any thoughts about what worked for you would be really helpful!
Thanks
