[quote=Anonymous]We’re expecting our second in the next week, and we will not be having grandparents meet the new baby before two months. Both sets would have to fly, and we’re not comfortable with that during delta, even though they are all vaccinated. Our pediatrician also recommended that we quarantine as much as possible for the first two months, when COVID or other respiratory viruses are most likely to land baby in the hospital.

Honestly, it’s a relief. We thought we would want some help with our first baby, but hosting grandparents with a newborn was the worst part of the postpartum period. Holding the baby is the least helpful thing family can do when mom is still trying to establish breastfeeding, bond and heal. Even without COVID, no one should be in your house for more than an hour in the first month.

I wish my family were local enough for short visits outside, but I’m not risking my baby’s health or my sanity by hosting out of town visitors in the first 2 months. [/quote]
