AITA for telling my in-laws they can't visit unannounced now the baby's here?

me (31M), four month old, wife back at work, i'm on leave doing days. my in laws live twelve minutes away. they've always dropped in — that was true before the baby and it was fine, we'd have a coffee. since he was born it's been three or four times a week and it's always between 1 and 3, which is his nap, which is also the only two hours i get. i asked twice, gently, for a text first. it kept happening. in august i didn't answer the door. i was standing in the hall with a monitor in my hand and i just didn't open it. they knew i was in. my father in law texted my wife. now it's a whole thing about me shutting them out of their grandson's life and my wife is in the middle and she agrees with me and is being made to be the messenger.
