another tip that I'm sure nurse will agree with
let the nurses take your new daughter for a few hours every night so you can both get some sleep
it doesn't make you bad parents
we would let the nurses take our daughter for 4 hours each night so we both could get some rest
use the nurses while you can because once you get home, they won't be there anymore

This is really gonna depend on the hospital. Some don't have this option anymore and baby is with you the entire time (only exception is if mom is really sick....then baby is admitted to NICU).
But yes....if your hospital lets you send baby to the nursery for the night....DO IT. Get sleep while you can. Promise you one night of baby getting a bottle won't hurt breastfeeding. Or you can have them bring baby back throughout the night for feedings.

Our son did not sleep unless you held him for the first few nights. Neither of us slept the first night with labor, and he was keeping us up the second night. We broke down at about 4 a.m. and asked if the nursery could watch him. That was the best 2 hours of sleep I think I ever got .
As far as visitors. I didn't mind when people came. It was nice to know people cared. It was just when people hung out all day. Everyone wants to help, but in reality, there isn't much to help with at that time other than getting sleep. I know I got a bit cranky every once in a while, so I can't imagine how my wife felt.

I regret not doing this.
My wife did not want our baby to sleep in the nursery watch room at night, it was killing me.
One night, the nurse basically kidnapped the baby (at my discretion), I hopped up in the hospital bed, we layed there mummy style and I got some of the best sleep of my life for those few hours.
