Fabulous advice, Charlotte. Took me 6 children before I stopped trying to be “Super-mom” after a baby. Recovery is so much quicker when I rest for the first 3 weeks!One other tip (from a mom of 10) for the taking a new baby to church is to put baby in a front carrier (the more complicated the better). This keeps baby where he wants to be against you, usually sleeping, but it is awkward to take him out and that discourages the requests to hold the baby, while still affording people a peek of the new little one.
