How cautious were you with your winter baby?

I have a soon to be seven week old and an almost three year old. My tot and I are dying to get back to our normal routine and visit the library, go on play dates, go to the gym etc. but I am so anxious about it because of my baby. I see so many moms in our local group talk about how sick their kids are, ask what is this “horrible virus”going around, warn others of the 4+ hour wait at the urgent care… and so then I think, nevermind! We’re fine at home!

But I know I can’t keep us both cooped up until spring. I’m so antsy to be back in the gym, my toddler is getting more mischievous by the day. I’m wondering how cautious I need to be? I got my Covid booster, flu shot, and the RSV vaccine all while pregnant if that helps.
