VISITING BABY
Dear Dr.Bear,
How long should a newborn be kept away from others? I have heard anything from 3 weeks to 3 months.
Sincerely,
Cautious Parents
Dear Cautious,
Most authorities think 6-8 weeks. By that time you can be sure of what is normal for your baby, and if any signs of sickness appear you can recognize them as being new and unusual events.
Sincerely,
Dr. Bear
