Are you distancing babies / children

[cliffybyro]

Firstly, I know what the rules are (I’m in England) I know children have to distance, but I’m wondering what everyone else is currently doing.

We have a 7 month old baby. She was born Feb so got to meet friends and family.
When she was 5 weeks old we went into lockdown.
When lockdown started easing, cases dropped and we were allowed garden / indoor meet ups, we decided to let her have close contact with both sets of grandparents.
Me and my husband have always distanced from our parents.

My parents are in an area which just gone into a local lockdown, my husbands parents and us aren’t in lockdown (yet)

We are now considering stopping close contact as we think it’s too risky, more for them than us.

We’re just wondering what everyone else is doing?
Would it be unreasonable to not let grandparents have close contact with her?

It would not be unreasonable to enforce social distancing, but nor would it be unreasonable to allow close contact, following the rule of six of course. I have a toddler and she will not socially distance so we allow close contact with grandparents. Ultimately, I'd say to leave it up to the grandparents if it's them you're most concerned about.

I'd say to leave it up to the grandparents if it's them you're most concerned about.

I do worry about DD, but everything I’ve read suggests her grandparents are at more risk than she is.

I have mild asthma and I’m not a very health weight (BMI is less than 40 though) so I know I should be taking precautions too!

We distance from all adults but DS is too young to know, so as Four said above, we leave it to the other adults to decide if they want to be near him or not. If not then we would take control of DS, but so far both sets of parents and our siblings have been fine to be near him. He loves it, he missed so much interacting and physical closeness from others while we were locked down.

I’m not enforcing social distancing for my children.

I'm not, mine spends all day with other kids in school. He also bugs his grandparents.
