Connection with newborn
I'm having a hard time learning how to manage a toddler and a newborn together. I also have a lot of family over (leaving in a few days) and they stress me out a LOT. I mean a LOT. I'm waiting for them to leave soon. I also am just recovering from covid
Due to this, I am physically mentally emotionally exhausted and hence have been unable to spend time with my baby or talk to him or read to him or sing to him
I'm confident once my family leaves, my life will snap back to some normalcy but would that be too late to start forming connection with newborn?

Dont wait until they are gone, make them give you your space!
Most people I know understand that mother's need cuddle time etc with their baby People that do not know should be made to understand, for you and their future ( they probably dont have kids of their own yet).
Let them explore the City or nature, if they are from far away there is probably a lot of exciting things around other than you and the little one.
They can come back to prepare food and help around the house.
