When your baby is born they are susceptible to getting sick because their immune system is so immature. If your baby is exposed to a bacteria or virus it is going to be harder for them to fight it off, than a child who is older or an adult. This can present a challenge when friends and family want to visit your newborn baby, and especially during flu season. This episode covers tips on how to handle visitors after the birth of your baby to minimize their risk of being exposed to germs and make sure they stay healthy.
