I hope the mother is planning to breastfeed exclusively for the first 3-6 months. That’s the best way to protect her baby naturally.

I hope you’re right. A family I’m close with had a baby boy last Friday. Mom is breast feeding.They brought the baby to church on Sunday and grandma was holding him for all to see. They are a big farm family and there have two other births the past year. All are well and, BTW, they all avoided having any Covid shots.

That’s been the way of the world forever and the human race has survived. In today’s generally healthy environment in the USA keeping a new born isolated for three months would seem to be counter productive as bacteria are everywhere and the sooner humans infants are exposed and develop an immune system the better off they will be. Obviously they should not have exposure to someone sick but otherwise it should be okay.

Correction, the baby was born two Friday’s ago, and was brought to church for the Ash Wednesday service, five days after the birth.

I was an NICU nurse. A newborn should be exposed to family members first with lots of kisses to develop similar immunity and the close community in proximity. People outside of community the first few months, not so much. I took my newborns to church, too. The grocery store or Walmart- hazardous to everyone’s health pretty much.
