Alpo Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Back in the pre-plague days, how long was considered normal before you let people to be in the same room with, and a handle, a newborn baby? Woman around the corner just had a kid. They have a large picture window looking out onto their front porch. While walking the dog the other day I saw a car pull up in the yard, and two women got out, carrying two wrapped packages, some flowers, and a box of diapers. They went up and rapped on the window, and the neighbor lady showed them her newborn baby. I have pictures of when Lobita was born, and there are relatives in the hospital, in their room. I doubt they stayed in the hospital very long, so they were letting people in within the first day? Maybe? Was that normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singin' Sue 71615 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 With Covid scare...I am sure they are doing what they feel safe. Mine are all 33 to 26 years old...I did what you did. My kids have each done things in the way they saw fit with the grandkids. It really is personal prefrence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trigger Mike Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Babies are born with their moms immunity for at least 6 months. All 4 of ours were passed around, as were all of my 3 siblings and I. We never stopped going places growing up or with mine. The hope was that passing them around they would be exposed to colds etc and build immunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabez Cowboy,SASS # 50129 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 When My Kids were born WE were a part of a large Church Family and the Kids were passed To those wanting to hold them at an early age usually between 7 - 10 days old .... My Wife and I were always nearby when we felt the need to be , supervising pre-teen Girls & Boys so our Babies didn't get dropped etc. The older Ladies policed themselves so no harm was done , my youngest now 26 and the rest still have special relationships with some of those that held them way back then .... Granma Ruby ( no relation ) kept in touch and aware of the doings of our Oldest daughter until her death ... I could give more instances but I think you get the point ... My kids are between 41 - 26 now . Jabez Cowboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 When my grandson was born, in 2014, (today is his birthday), the immediate family, and friends, were let into see him as soon as they brought him into the room were his mother was. We held him, and everything. The nurses, and doctors, and the hospital, did not seem to have any rules, back then, on how soon we could see and hold him. I would presume it would be a different story in today's world. W.K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 The only limit has ever been the mom’s energy level. If she’s up for company, there’s no reason to not hug a baby. I hugged my granddaughter within the hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brave Star has 3 boys, one set of twins. He also has one more on the way. He has been busy. Prairie Wildcat is married but uncertain if she will have kids. Long story. Oldest daughter has 4 and done. Our house gets rocking at times. 6 hours ago, Singin' Sue 71615 said: CONGRATS!!! Thanks! It's a wild ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
