My veteran mom friends have warned against hosting anything after the baby is born. (This also provides a safeguard against the overzealous who will want to come over early and often.) If anyone wants to bring gifts, they can do so at that time, but I would not expect any. I certainly do not want to try to juggle multiple home visits in the first month while also trying to do the holidays with a 3yo and a newborn.Ī sip-and-see at month 3-6 seems like a lower-pressure option where a small group of friends and relatives will be able to meet the baby. Family cannot meet the baby as they would have been able to previously. It’s a meet and greet for the new baby and is held when the child is a few months old, in the comfort of the home, as it aligns with baby’s schedule.įurthermore, the hospital in which I’ll be delivering does not allow visitors (COVID protocol). I recently heard about a “sip-and-see,” which is essentially a post-birth baby shower, as I understand it. This is my first pregnancy but second baby, so we have a number of baby (boy) items already. I also don’t enjoy being the center of attention. I have no female friends in town and no coworkers I would want to invite any guest list would be distant female family members. I also do not particularly want to have a baby shower. We are not planning on finding out the sex before the baby’s arrival. I plan to cross post to get a few different perspectives. I am looking for advice and your experiences.
