[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even in non Covid times I was very protective of my newborn in the winter. I worried about rsv, flu, colds and the possibility of my newborn getting a spinal tap. The older child was bathed and changed once she got home and when she inevitably got sick separated from the newborn. Fortunately I had a caregiver that was able to separate from the toddler while I took care of the sick older child. It’s really hard and you may consider keeping the older one home until the newborn no longer needs a spinal tap if he or she gets sick.[/quote]

Did you allow visitors to see the newborn, or wait until after the 8-week period?[/quote]

DP.  My first DD was a January baby, born pre-pandemic.  The only visitors we had prior to 8 weeks were grandparents, all 4 of whom were up to date on vaccinations, including flu shots and whooping cough.  We'd had family friends with a newborn who ended up with a spinal tap due to fever, and I didn't want to risk that.[/quote]
