It’s always a little scary for new parents to let an outside friend or family member into their newborn’s bubble, but COVID-19 poses additional concerns. If you’ve been invited to meet a new baby, you’ll need to be respectful of whatever boundaries the adults may have. This article tells us that the safest way to visit a newborn is to wear a mask and maintain a physical distance of at least six feet.
