Can Visitors Be Allowed When With A 5 Month Old Premature Baby?
My niece had a micro preemie baby at 24 weeks. The baby has really done exceptionally well and is now home with oxygen. She was born in October - was due at the end of January 2015. Came home February 3. They have had the baby out walking in her stroller and has been taken out to several doctors appointments where they have been exposed to germs I m sure. Other family members live in the home as well along with a cat and a dog. A photographer has been to the home as well to take pictures. We ve been told that we can t visit the baby because it s flu season for another 2 months. Of course if we were sick or not feeling well or on the mend we wouldn t expect to see her. In your opinion would it be safe for the baby to have visitors?
