Recommendations on how long to keep newborn in

Katlin
Okay so I have a 8 and 4 year old when I had them I was told keep them in till 6 weeks, now my babies pediatrician says 2 weeks when this baby comes. Any one else find this a very short time? My 4 year old was a premie and I didn't take her out for months and it seems like she's ALWAYS sick, does keeping them in too long cause that? What have you been told with your newborn?
