We recommend not exposing your newborn to friends and neighbors for the first two months of life. Until the immune system matures, a newborn has very limited defenses when exposed to illness, and consequently can became ill very quickly. If you are concerned your infant is ill, it is important to take the temperature rectally. An infant is considered to have a fever under two months of age if the temperature is 100.5 degrees or higher rectally. It is important to notify the office immediately should your infant have a fever at two months of age or less.
