When are visitors allowed to see your newborn?

Question

I am curious to hear everyone’s opinion on this. This is not to start a debate, so please respect everyone’s comment. 
I’ll go first… I must say this I haven’t discussed with hubby yet but plan to do so tonight.. Due to covid and other sicknesses floating around I don’t want to risk having visitors for at least a couple months (including parents). FaceTime is available though 😉 
Btw- I’m still in my first trimester with our 1st….

Answer

So I had my daughter back in 2020 and covid was spiking like crazy where we live. So I allowed my parents and my in laws to meet my daughter a few days after we got home but they had to be fully vaccinated otherwise they were not welcome. The rest of our families didn’t meet her until she was at least a month or two. 
With this baby since covid is really low here now we plan on allowing family to stop over periodically to meet baby once we get home but I will ask them if they aren’t feeling well or have been potentially exposed to hold off. I doubt many of our family members will be visiting right away since it’ll be the middle of winter but I know my parents will be around a lot to help me out

Answer

As soon as possible. But by that I mean immediate family (our parents and siblings and that's it) everyone else can wait a little bit

Answer

I’m fine with anyone who doesn’t have any symptoms coming into my house as long as they bring food with them, haha. Also they are required to play with our golden retriever while they’re here (he’s currently 5 months, and I doubt at a year he’ll suddenly not be energized). 
I have no desire to do this all alone!

Answer

This is my first too I am also in my first trimester I am 6weeks. We thinking of telling our family 👪 to take a covid test first & wear a mask 😷. Since this will be my parents first grandchild&don't want to keep my baby away from the grandparents they gonna lose time as it will grow. They won't be able to enjoy him or her while it grows. But definitely safety first

Answer

Btw the only reason why I had the 6 week wait for every one else was for my sanity. I didn't want to feel overwhelmed with having people in and out just to look and hold my sleeping baby. And I myself just wanted that time with baby. Grandparents and uncles/aunts were actually there to be helpful (watch baby if I needed a shower or help with cooking food or any other help).

Answer

For me my first 2 kids were born in my home state so everyone we know wanted to see them. We only allowed close relatives and friends after baby was about 6 weeks. Grandparents, uncle and aunts was able to see baby right away but all of them knew to wash hands first and no kisses on face. My last 2 kids were born in my new state thats not close to family so everyone just facetime or I sent pics to them. I'm pregnant with my 5th so it will be the same with the last 2 kids.

Answer

In my country every person that wants to meet a baby before the baby gets his 2mo vaccines needs to be vaccinated against whopping cough. So it gets really easy to avoid too many visits because not many people are willing to get vaccinated
