[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am expecting a baby in one month and nervous about the newborn’s exposure to COVID. I also am a FTM and worried about cutting back on help as my sanity also seems important! What compromises have other new parents made? Any advice? I am torn whether to allow grandparents to stay with us and help care for baby and whether or not it is okay to continue with our regular cleaning service. Everyone has been vaccinated but apparently even vaccinated individuals can transmit the virus. I have heard babies are most vulnerable to severe illness the first two months of life, is this correct?[/quote]

Even at “most vulnerable,” they aren’t extremely vulnerable.  I allowed vaccinated grandparents to come (no flights, no indoor dining before they came).  I would keep the cleaners and just don’t be in the same room as them and/or open the windows.  Preventing infection can’t be the only goal or you will go crazy.   [/quote]

100% this.
This all assuming baby is healthy and full term.
Pay attention to your own mental and physical health, too, OP.  Don’t let that all go just to preserve complete isolation.[/quote]
