Basic rules for meeting a newborn:

Wash your hands.
If you’re sick, stay home.
Don’t kiss the baby.
Don’t show up unannounced.
Don’t overstay.

And most importantly,
respect the parents.

This is a brand new season.
A vulnerable one.

They’re learning their baby.
Healing.
Adjusting.

So no, it’s not about what you want.
it’s about what they need.

And if you really care?
You’ll honor that.
