Covid and Visitors?

Question

I’m wondering what you all are doing with visitors these days. My state has started to reopen a few things like barber shops and churches, and because of this all of my aunts and cousins want to come snuggle my baby. They are kind of acting like Covid19 isn’t a concern anymore. 
My daughter was born in March and is 8 weeks old now and we have only allowed our parents to come see her in these 8 weeks. Part of me wants them all to come meet her, and part of me wants to say no way, not until this is truly all over! What are you all doing?

Answer

We’re still not doing visitors. Just because you can go out, doesn’t mean you should.

Answer

My LO is 7.5 weeks, no one has held her besides my husband and I. He’s met his grandmother and uncle from 6 feet away. 
I think my mom and dad are assuming once Chicago opens June 1 they can come over... but it’s Chicago, we have horrible rates here and I’m very uncomfortable with anyone holding him right now. We’re going to take the wait and see approach I guess for now...

Answer

Our state isn’t opening up yet, but honestly I’m just sitting back and waiting to see what happens when things reopen. Im wanting to see if there’s gonna be a second wave before I even think about visitors

Answer

I’m still not allowing visitors. Mine is ten weeks old. My boyfriends dad works at a grocery store so I haven’t really let them hold her since she was born. My mom watches her if she absolutely has to but she is working from home and my dad is retired. I feel awful but it’s not worth risking anything right now for me. We have social distanced outside with other grandparents.

Answer

We haven’t even allowed our parents yet

Answer

We did a back yard “sip and see” with a few of our close friends. We all sat in different parts of the yard and that way they could see the baby. No one besides me and my husband have held her. Idk when we will let others hold her.

Answer

So far only my mom and only twice. I’m holding off bc my baby has a heart defect plus my 1.5 year old has had bronchiolitis twice. They’re both at higher risk of respiratory infection. I’m in no rush to see anyone. We do go to the park to walk often though.

Answer

We’ve only let our parents and siblings meet her so far. She was born late March and after the first week of her life I said no more visitors as we were on lockdown until last week. I am very SLOWLY letting our parents and siblings see her now but they have to wear masks and wash hands/arms. It’s just so scary, so Id say If you don’t feel comfortable letting people see your baby yet, that is okay!

Answer

I am in the UK and we are allowed to meet 1 person but it has to be outside.
We have allowed visitors (1 at a time) to come round our side gate into the garden for a social distant chat and drink but we are not letting anyone have cuddles just yet. I just don't want to risk it! 
If I let one person hold her, then someone else holds her a few days later then she could be carrying the virus and passing it on... personally I don't think it's worth it especially when it's family I could potentially get poorly!

Answer

My daughter was born in March too. We've only let our parents and siblings see her.  If a family member has come over they "see" her but no one has held her.  I'm just not comfortable with it yet, especially since she hasn't had her shots yet.
