571. In four months, your child is still too young to invite guests to it - the whole company. You afflict quite understandable desire to show all the relatives and znako'mym what your wonderful kid. But wait a bit, then you do not harm the child. He was too weak to cope with the massive attack of infection.
572. Close baby, with whom he is in regular contact, are obliged to take care of their health. After all, they can successfully bring a child any infection. Therefore, in addition to meeting the elementary hygiene measures (washing hands and face, dressing, etc.), you must also pay attention to his contacts with people on the street, in transport, at work.
