You can politely say that the doctor has ordered restricted visitation until at least 2 months. This is to make sure the children have developed their lungs and strengthen their immune system.

This approach usually works and is the best way to go.

However OP…be prepared, for some thickheaded people who still won’t quite understand. Can you believe I actually had people in my family (my own aunt!) “drop by” to see the babies after they had just left a public swimming pool and were still in their swimwear?!?

And they still couldn’t quite understand why I would not bring out a 4.5lb premature baby who was just released from the NICU so that they could hold it.
