I know you have had a over whelming response. We had our baby
end of October and was 6 wks old at Christmas.
We celebrate the Sat before. He was born 6 weeks Pre mature and spent 2 weeks in NICU. Since he was early we were sent home with
Home Nurses to our house 2 a week.
Our baby Dr sd to make sure everyone washing there hands.
o use our judgement stay in when you can, and don't feel bad but if strangers at the store want to touch your aby ask them not too. She sd everyone wants to touch there head, or hands or feet. She was right.
We stayed close to home, but we did go to my parents for Christmas. There was my parents, I have 5 brothers and sisters and a few kids. But no one had a cold. All our famiy and friends if they had a cold they wouldn't come near the baby.
My son went to sleep on his Grandpa arms and the pictures
was worth a thousant words. So use your judgement and ask everyone if they had a cold to keep there distance and they will. It wouldn't of been Christmas without going.
As for sleep we had a good baby. But it was nice to catch a nap
and Grandpa and Grandma said they watch him. So if you need a break it can be a blessing. We lived in Kansas City where it was really cold. He never got a cold till he was 2.
