I know how much you wanna go see that baby. They’re only that little once and you just want to squeeze and smooch them ! But RSV season mixed with Covid and flu and we’ve got a crazy situation on our hands. So here’s some tips on visiting them!

1. Don’t visit uninvited!

2. Don’t go unannounced. More than likely momma is already a mess. She’s probably been up all night.

3. Keep your visit short.

4. Tell momma to go nap! Don’t think she wants to hang out. I’m sure she loves you but she’s exhausted. So while you just wanna hold the baby if the baby is sleeping maybe do dishes or a load of laundry for her!

5. Keep your hands clean! Wash them before picking up baby and use hand sanitizer !

6. Don’t wear strong perfume or aftershave. Mommas hormones are probably driving her crazy and she can still smell things like an alien.

7. Don’t give unsolicited advice. Again momma is dealing with so much and the last thing she needs is to hear how you got your baby to sleep through the night at two days old.

8. Know when to leave. You know you’ll be asking to come back next week !

While visiting babies is so wonderful and you just want to help, mommas are so tired and everyone grabbing for the newborn they carried for 10 months is straining So help her out!
