Is it fair for a mum to take a newborn baby away from the dad and go to a relatives for 2 weeks while dad gets over a cold? Dad does not think so. Mum wants to protect baby.

The parents you are taking DC to could have a cold brewing and not know. I think YABU

I would say mum needs to get help for her anxiety.

Two weeks! Yabu.

Babies catch colds, it's normal, they build their immune system. My ds had his first cold before he was a week old - not ideal but there's no avoiding it.

Are you breastfeeding? If so, you're giving your baby antibodies to that specific cold
