My sister also has Hep-C & she is not careful at all. I don't allow her around my grandkids. It is the most contagious blood disease. It can be transmitted thru saliva. You are right to refuse to take your baby over there. Her doctor told be that you have to be more careful with Hep-C than with HIV.

If the doctor says stay indoors 30 days, then you stay in doors thirty days! I wouldn't even want anyone coming over for the risk of them bringing a virus of some sort, make sure they wash their hands! Honestly who cares what anyone no matter who they are wants, it is not worth risking your childs life, if even after you tell them about the 30 days then you need to let them know they need to care more about the baby then their wants. They can see the baby later, they can't be selfish in a time of life or death, you just can't take that risk.
Even though the above answer is quite harsh, they make a point when they state that YOU are the parents, you make the decisions!
I have difficult inlaws, they tried to give my baby a nickname (they dont like her name which is Heidi) they tried to get me to pierce her ears (no way) I laughed this all off, but when they tried to give her icecream cake at a party when she was 5 months my husband stepped in and put his foot down, since it is your husbands family, he needs to take responsibility.

Why would you even ask this question? Grow a backbone! How dare someone as immature as you have a baby. And don't you dare expose that poor innocent child in her weakened condition. Why are you asking unqualifed persons on the internet? Why aren't you checking with your doctor? I'll tell you why - because you already know that he would throw a FIT if he heard you! YOU are the parents. It is YOUR legal and moral responsibility to keep your child out of harm's way. Now stop whining "what to do?" and do the responsible adult thing!
What a pity people like you had a child and didn't wait until you were more mature and more established. Please don't have any more for a loooooong time. You still have to grow up yourself first. Honestly, babies having babies....

Tell her its doctors orders so the'll have to wait to see the baby. That way she can't blame it on you and how bad would you feel if your baby got sick just because you didn't say no. It's your job as a mom to protect your kids.

let me get this straight. your mil is coming over to see the baby and you believe she will tell you to take the babe to a relatives house? screw the hep c. your doc told you not to take her out of the house if it isn't necessary. period.a trip to g.grandma's isn't necessary. this is your child and you are her advocate. tell your mil no. that's it. no need to argue about it or make excuses. your child was ill and needs to be kept healthy. you and your husband will simply have to tell his mom no.
