+1. OP might be a bit of a cow, but not taking your baby outdoors, ever “because someone might walk by” is also not normal.

Thing is (if she’s real) she probably is taking her baby for plenty of walks outside. She just doesn’t want to go for walks outside with OP who sounds like she’s a controlling busybody.

No really, haha. She isn’t going anywhere. She doesn’t go anywhere besides drs appts.
[b]She bathes the baby using bottled water.
She had allergies or a mild cold a few weeks ago and wouldn’t be in the same room as the baby for a full 24 hours. The nanny and dh handled the baby.
She is so terrified of “the baby getting sick” she legitimately wore an n95 in the house and did not hold or sit in the same room as the baby for an entire day.

I think your sister likely has PPA or PPD bc her actions seem very extreme even given pandemic plus the typical caution w newborn but I think you also have to back off. Her husband should get her to a dr and see about helping her w whatever mental health issues are going on but her husband and Dr are the only ones who need to be involved and you should remain concerned about her and let her know you’re there for her if she wants to talk but stop pressuring her to get together and stop intervening.

Sister is not being extreme with covid. These vaccines/covid is not equal to the situation you are talking about and OP lax lifestyle puts her sister's family at risk. Even with no baby, I would not see OP right now.

OP is nuts and this woman cannot be bothered with her. Its not PPA or anything else and its common sense to keep newborn away with cold. flu and covid.

Away from who if you’re just walking outside?

The sister doesn't want to take the time, is tired or just simply doesn't want to see OP. Plus, its cold out. OP sounds like a nightmare and sister is making a good choice.

Op here. Our pediatrician sister had a baby several months ago! She is behaving and acting normally. Taking her baby son out for walks, to the store, to see our family indoors, to the park etc.

Serious question for all the posters who think I’m nuts/obsessed etc- are you people really not leaving your houses? Like still? In 2022?

We do not have unvaccinated newborns.

You are absolutely obsessive. Get a therapist.
