litterally holding them isn't going to give them the disease they'd have to exchange body fluids.

The only reason this is bothering you is because you are extremely tired and not feeling well. Maybe she is being a little overprotective, but for a 8 day old baby, mothers are advised not to even leave the house for the fear of exposing the tiny thing to a sick person such as yourself. She is a new mother and is just trying to do the right thing. If your little baby gets a fever at this age, it could mean everything from brain damage to death. Just love your wife and accept that she is just trying to do the right thing, if she isn't being extremely gentle with you or is getting on your nerves, just remember that she is tired too. She is probably also terrified that she will get sick too and have to deal with all of the demands of a new mother on top of that. Get some sleep so you can get better and get back to taking care of your family.

I really don't know much about hepatitus c so I don't know what my answer would be. I assume that the person would have told you they had it? For all I know people who have this have held my baby without me knowing and my baby is fine.

I would never take the chance. What if the baby had a small cut, say, from scratching himself with his own fingernail and the person who had hepatitis C had a small cut as well? The chances would be very small that the baby would get infected with C, but even a 1 in a million chance is too much for me!

Absolutely not. It's human nature to want to kiss a newborn baby and touch the baby's hand and if they just sneezed or something....gross! No!

I absolutly would and have. It is spread through blood to blood contact not these other ridicules ways that people have said.

absolutely!! my father contracted hepatitis C while serving as a medic in the gulf war. It is ONLY contracted from blood to blood contact! it is not in any bodily fluids, it is not sexually transmitted. And you certainly can't "catch" it from saliva, a kiss, a sneeze, a cough. People need to educate themselves, how could you be so ignorant as to deny someone human contact because of a disease you so clearly know nothing about.

Honestly? No. It is in saliva, what if they kissed the baby or spit came out of their mouth from talking and went into the baby's mouth???

Sure i would! and i have, I hate to correct people but Hep C is only contracted through blood to blood contact. you can get it through saliva, but only if there is blood in the saliva.
