Please keep visits short and help out with a chore while you are here. It was actually quite effective!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sign-for-front-door-for-home-birth-amp-time-after-birth#post-1308469 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 16:54:52 +0000 JerricaBenton 1308469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a 'please knock, baby sleeping' sign up. If you don't want people knocking either I'd just say 'do not disturb, baby sleeping.' I'm sure anyone who knew your number would call or text so I don't think you need that bit. LO has never woken up from someone knocking. The dog goes nuts if someone rings the bell so over 10 months later, the sign is still up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sign-for-front-door-for-home-birth-amp-time-after-birth#post-1308452 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 16:48:03 +0000 Boheme 1308452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a tiny piece of paper that says "Please do not knock or ring doorbell - Mom and baby are resting." </p> <p>Its been up for 7 months lol! People do respect it though, and call or text before they drop in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sign-for-front-door-for-home-birth-amp-time-after-birth#post-1308373 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 15:36:35 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1308373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just write on a piece of paper.."Please do not ring or knock, sleeping baby inside" with a big smiley face under it!</p> <p>We don't have people just stop by though, so maybe i'd include to call or text at the bottom? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sign-for-front-door-for-home-birth-amp-time-after-birth#post-1308366 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 15:34:12 +0000 Vegmama 1308366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Happy Monday, Bees!!</p> <p>As we're gearing up for our home birth, I realize that I should probably have a little sign for the front door. </p> <p>I work from home, which means daily visits from UPS/FedEx, and our neighbors are old and LOVE stopping by almost every day to say hi.</p> <p>We'd like a sign for the front door that basically says, "No knocking, do not disturb", but in a nice way ... Anyone have one they can share, or an idea? </p> <p>Also, what about after the birth? Did you put a sign on the door about visitors? We'd like to ensure we're expecting any guests, and keep knocks (deliveries, neighbors, sales people, evangelists) to a minimum (hopefully NO ONE). Maybe something like, "Please give us a text or call to schedule a time to come visit"??? </p>
