[quote=Anonymous]My second is coming in the next week (induction scheduled). Yes, the first two months are the most dangerous age for covid in children. However, their absolute risk is still fairly low. In concert with our pediatrician (we also have an 18 month old), here’s where we landed:

-We have stopped going to all public, indoor, unmasked places for ourselves, starting about two weeks ago, and going until baby is 2 months old. 
-We have stopped taking our son to any public indoor places (he’s too young for a mask) starting two weeks ago until the baby is 2 months old. 
-We are limiting visitors to our nanny, the other baby in our nanny share, the parents of the other baby, our parents, our siblings, and their spouses, starting two weeks ago, until baby is 2 months old. It’s still a pretty wide net (17 people, plus our immediate soon to be family of four). But all are vaccinated except the two toddlers (and of course the new baby, though I was vaccinated while pregnant, so maybe she’ll have some protection). 
-As we approach the two month mark, we’ll reevaluate based on current numbers/science at that point.

As a benchmark, we were very cautious until numbers were falling and vaccination was common in about April/May, then we loosened up a lot. This summer when numbers were low, we were fairly lax (indoor dining with our toddler, had a big party, etc) so we hope to get back to that, but only time will tell.

I would describe our approach as generally balanced, perhaps leaning a bit conservative.
