When will be a good time to take my baby to see her dad in jail?

Wow this is a toughie for you. The only way to approach this in my view is from a safety perspective for your Baby and yourself. Vaccines would be good to have not just because of prison but before going many places, that being said I am not a medical professional. I get that he might not see her for the first Two Months but at least you get a video call. Have you discussed it with him? What does he think? Maybe coming to an agreement together might take the weight of the final decision off of just your shoulders.

Whatever you decide as long as the decision is made in the best interests of your Baby then you should be alright.

I hope you don't feel lonely, try to take care of yourself and feel free to message if you want to chat.

Take care.

Okay I’m going to be brutally honest with you please don’t take offence and if he’s innocent I’m sorry…
He’s in jail not on holiday! If he wanted to see baby he wouldn’t have got arrested. Personally I don’t think babies should really mix with people other than close family until they have had their first vaccines. Granted (I hope) this wasn’t expected but you need to do what’s best for baby coz touch wood she gets ill he won’t be there to help you…

I’m with your mum, I’d go as soon as. Your breast milk should you choose to breastfeed is there to help your baby’s immune in those early days. Also yes there’s loads of people but you’re not mingling with them, don’t let anyone other than your husband touch your baby and remember your baby is half of him and has his DNA so unless he’s actually sick baby should be fine. A singular video call a month is not enough. Seeing his baby may also keep his spirits up while he’s in there. Xx

In my opinion, this is entirely your decision here. Don’t let anyone else pressure you to take baby too soon if you’re anxious about it at all.

Yes, it sucks he can’t be there for the birth. Yes it’s his child too. But you’re gonna be doing this alone for now and you need to do what you feel able to, and if you have concerns about taking your baby too soon for whatever reason, they are absolutely valid and you need to put yourself and your baby first here.

I would also say you absolutely do not need to make this decision now. Baby isn’t here yet, and you don’t know how you will feel when baby arrives, you don’t know how you’ll be coping. Let yourself adjust to life with a newborn and make the decision when it feels right for you.

Hope everything goes well with the birth, and look after yourself mama. It’s a tough spot you’re in! ❤️

I think it’s entirely up to you and how you are feeling at the time!
I was 8 months pregnant visiting my partner in prison and my parents were completely against me taking a newborn in once my lo was born (thankfully he was out before). But there was a lady a couple months ahead of me who had given birth and the next week was in visiting her partner so it is entirely up to you, everyone is different.
Also take into consideration the waiting and checks to get in, they’re more thorough with babies and have to obviously check nappies, car seats etc..
