Visitors and going out with a new baby.

[Bellsx]

Just wondering for those of you who are due soon what your thoughts are on having visitors and people holding baby once born? Also just an example but my daughter will need new shoes ready for school in September and my baby is due on 20th August so that would mean a trip to a shopping centre, would you feel happy taking a new born baby out to the shops or anywhere out and about really at the moment? Thanks ladies.

Hi, I am in the same boat.
Our plan is to isolate for 2-4 weeks and then allow visitors. After that we will asses whether Visitors can have a cuddle based on how healthy the baby is and how the general covid situation is.

Trouble is no one is asking, they are just telling us they are excited to come and cuddle the baby. I think people have forgotten about the pandemic.

Throughout I have been respectful of others wishes. Just because the government has said it’s ok to mix households doesn’t mean everyone has to. It’s a personal decision after all.

I think it would have been easier when there was stricter rules in place, less awkward anyway.
