AIBU to say no to baby seeing family?

[98Charlotte]

Would it be wrong of me to say no to seeing family that dont live in this country incase they have the virus?

Basically baby's got family that live in Tenerife and coming over next week, would it be wrong of me to say we dont want contact with them until we know they dont have it.
There might only be a few known cases over there and might have been self isolating for a couple of weeks, but they could still get it at either airport or on the plane, couldn't they?

Is it just me or am I thinking of her health before anything?
Apparently I'm the one thats not allowing her family to see her

How would everyone else feel risk it and let her see family or keep her away just in case?

Which country are you in? Tenerife is on lockdown isn't it? Won't be flying over here next week some countries aren't allowing flights for 30 days

YANBU, babies have no immune system so they cant develop any immunity until they are older. All they have are your antibodies; and none of us have immunity to corona virus.

Yanbu - don’t be swayed Explain re poor lady on ECMO and her baby in hospital

I'm pretty sure they wont be flying in. YANBU. Keep your baby isolated.

It wouldn't matter to me where they were coming from. Nobody going on a plane and through an airport would be going near my baby. YADNBU.

Spain is on lockdown with no flights . No is flying anywhere.

Just say that no point planning anything at the moment as guidance is changing daily

YANBU to restrict who can visit your baby

YABU to only restrict people from outside the country.

You may have missed the fact that people in this country have and can therefore pass on the virus too. Don’t quite get why it’s only those from Tenerife who are being turned away

We're in the UK and did have a holiday booked to go over there until it got cancelled

Been trying to figure out how they're getting back over here with no flights

It's not, its everyone I'm restricting until I know they definitely dont have it, especially people who are at more of a risk from it

You know yanbu.
This is exactly what we should all be doing. Avoiding socialising. Going about a restricted daily life. That is how the rate of infection slows and the NHS copes. If everyone contributes to integrate, the spread will be quicker and the NHS may well be overwhelmed.
You will be made to feel awkward. You aren’t. You are doing the best for your baby and no one should force you to do otherwise.

Thanks everyone

Sometimes it helps to get other opinions to reassure that I've got the right thoughts and to show people when I get complained at that I'm doing the wrong thing.
Dont really want to get people starting at me and saying I'm depriving her from seeing family or family from seeing her just for saying no when I'm putting her health first before whatever they want.

If they are coming just to see the baby then the kind thing to do is tell them now and ask them to delay the trip until later in the year. Tenerife is classed as Spain so they could probably reschedule without problems.

They shouldn't come as things are at the moment. I doubt they will be allowed to anyway and not sure they'd be allowed back after travelling here.

All flight from tenerife are currently cancelled do I'd be very interested to know how they think they will be getting here. What have they said? Do they even realise the airport is shut and they cant leave?

Oh, and of course YADNBU. They are. Absolutely not thinking properly. Just being selfish.

I'm in the same boat as you, very young baby and was due to see more visitors soon.

I would have cancelled anyway because of the virus, even if the government hadn't announced the new advice to stop gatherings with family and friends. People expect to cuddle new babies which isn't going to stop because of coronavirus. Definitely cancel seeing them for now.

Glad I'm not the only one thinking the same about it.
And also wondering how they plan on getting here with no flights, have been trying to figure it out, but just have no idea, so have to ask.

I doubt they'll be coming over.

If they're not here already they won't be coming. UK is about to close borders (see briefing this AM)

Yanbu at all. Actually they are very irresponsible and selfish for wanting to put your baby at risk.
One thing I learnt is to never apologize/feel bad for putting my childs best interest first.

It's not, its everyone I'm restricting until I know they definitely dont have it, especially people who are at more of a risk from it

I may have misunderstood this but it sounds like you may be confused about the at risk groups and the risk to your little one.

Everyone, everyone, everyone is at risk of catching it and passing it on.

If anything at risk groups are more likely to show strong symptoms so there is less doubt about them being infectious.

Everyone knows someone who's just had a bit of a sore throat, doubt it's CV and haven't self isolated despite us all knowing some people show no symptoms at all.

No one needs to see her. She’ll still be there for people to fuss over once this is all over.

What I still dont get is how theyre allowed into this country if theyre living over there.

Asked and its because shes a UK resident apparently.

If theyre living over they, why not get them to stay over there until its all over with?

Are they actually residents?

I've been trying to figure out the same thing and also been googling to see what I can find.
Shes lived over there for nearly a year and a half I think, doesnt come over here much, works over there.
