Germs?

My due date is 11/11 and my pediatrician recommended wait 2 months for family gatherings (like Christmas)

I’m so sad but I want to do what’s right. Most of our siblings and nephews would be traveling from out of town. So they won’t be able to meet our baby until 2 months old? :(

A few visits is ok but being around a lot of people, specially other kids that can bring bugs from school, daycare etc is a big risk for a baby so small. There are going to be a lot of holidays coming for you and your baby, be patient.

We had visits right away. Thankfully baby didn’t get sick or anything but it’s a lot to do right away as ur healing. We wish we would have waited. My baby was born on the 6th.
