To think I shouldn't visit newborn with a cold?

[Weta]

My friend came out of hospital yesterday after giving birth to DC1 a week ago and I have promised to pop over for half an hour tonight with a meal for her and her DH. They have no family nearby so I am trying to help out as much as I can. She is also having BF trouble and needs all the support she can get at the moment.

But I'm coming down with a cold (feel achey all over though not sneezing or anything really, but don't think I can work tomorrow). Am thinking I will still make the meal and drop it round, but should I assume it's better not to stop and chat? I still want to give the maximum support I can but not at the risk of creating more problems!

Ask your friend - give her the choice, just say you have a cold and would she rather you left it a few days.

i would say your not stopping in as you have a cold but your on the end of the phone etc if she needs you but you dont want to pass the cold on to the baby but you still there if she needs to chat cry etc

Thanks, think I will ask how she feels about it and suggest I just drop the meal and go if she would prefer.
