[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. The rude poster that commented my dad must be a miserable old man and no wants to be around him is messed up. We have a great relationship with my father and he is a lovely man. My siblings live far away and them flying will increase his risk. I live 2 hours away and can drive to/from without any issues. It will just be us and exposure risk is very low. I will be going straight there. He will need help with cooking, cleaning, medications, etc. Nothing too crazy and no heavy lifting or anything strenuous.

My dad has multiple high risk health issues. We are not willing to hire someone to help because we have no idea if that person is following proper protocol. He loves his caretaker and we want to keep her job. We are looking into temp workers if she needs to be out longer, but I want to properly screen them first. This was last minute and I couldn't line someone up in 2-3 days without properly screening them.

My dads place is really small. It's a one bed and a small den. There wouldn't be space to sleep on a couch for me and my husband.

My husband is a great dad and capable of caring for our son. He is an easy baby and sleeps an 8 hour stretch at night. My MiL will be available to help him and give him a break. We split everything 50/50. He did everything the first 4 weeks after birth, and I have helped prep things for him as some suggested - laundry, food, and restock supplies for baby, etc.

I'm fine giving up breastfeeding if that happens. I don't make much milk anyway and planned to stop when I go back to work at the end of the year anyway

I am going to ask AGAIN OP- HAVE you talked to your pediatrician about whether you need to quarantine and/or get tested before you go back to your family? Has your MIL been quarantined and been tested or will get tested? Are you interviewing replacements remotely? Have you been tested prior to seeing your father?

This is not about your husband. This is about risk assessment. Please contact your ped to get the correct information and stop messing around with your kids life. [/quote]

OP here. I have not talked to the pediatrician but we are all social distancing and I will be driving to/from. His caretaker has been following proper guidelines this whole time and lives alone. I will screening people via phone or video call. My MIL and FIL live alone and are social distancing. We have seen them multiple times since he was born. They live very close. [/quote]
