How much help did you need after birth?

My mom can hopefully fly back to stay with me when the baby is out, but is it very useful to have a confinement lady as well? Can they come during the day but go home at night? Are there other services you would recommend I do research on? Thanks!

I didn't have a confinement lady but I do have my mom to help me out during the confinement, mainly for food wise. My husband will help out to take care of the baby during night time and wash all the clothes and bottles. I was mostly resting myself, and taking care of baby in between. My baby slept quite a lot and only wake up for milk in the day, whereas she prefers to play during the night when she is less than one month old.
