[quote=Anonymous]Winter babies are hard, mine was prepandemic but dealing with snow storm related disruption on top of all the newborn stuff was definitely a pain for a few weeks until we figured things out. 
However, you have to be very careful exposing yourself and your baby right now though. Omicron is contagious and plenty of vaccinated people are getting it - if your baby ends up with a fever they will need a spinal tap which by all accounts is very traumatic. We had family visiting over winter break and were pretty cautious - went on a couple of shopping outings and ate outdoors at restaurants a couple of times - and 2/7 people ended up testing positive for Covid. All were vaccinated; adults were boosted. Luckily symptoms were mild, that may not be the case if your unvaccinated baby is exposed. In general until the 2-month shots you need to be super careful about exposing your baby.
Here are some things you can do - 
Join a virtual mom's group. 
Leave baby at home and meet a vaccinated friend at a coffeeshop (but sit outside). 
Go on a distanced outdoor walk with a friend, with baby in a carrier.[/quote]
