Patient's question:
A colleague of mine is on maternity leave, and I would like to visit her. Could you please tell me if there are any taboos associated with visiting someone during the postpartum period?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's actually not recommended to visit newborns. It's better to wait until the baby is one month old before going. On the one hand, newborn babies have very weak immunity. If many people visit, it's easy to carry germs to both the newborn and the postpartum mother! There are actually no strict taboos. Postpartum mothers also need time to rest and recover their health. You can video chat with them or have a chat with friends to comfort the new mothers. After the baby is one month old, you can visit. I hope my advice is helpful to you.
