For those of you having winter babies, what kinds of precautions are you planning to take regarding illnesses? My first was a summer baby so we let grandparents hold her after getting a TDAP and kept her away from other kids until 2 months. My oldest is in daycare so idk how to realistically protect our second baby from her germs. And the TDAP isn’t going to prevent grandparents from spreading cold, flu, RSV which I am more concerned about with a winter newborn.

Misled on Maternity Leave Policy. I found out I only get 4 weeks pay for maternity leave (STD +“sick days”). I will take 12 weeks but wont get paid for 8 weeks. I work for a US, west coast based company in the tech/VC industry. Their website claims to offer “paid parental leave and other progressive benefits for parents”. I didn’t find out until after I was hired their pay was only 8 weeks but since I have been at the company less than 12 months, I don’t qualify for their policy. Is this unfair?
