It really depends on your comfort level. I insisted that all adults washed their hands and then used Purell. It is unavoidable if you have siblings at home, but I personally would limit contact with other children. Use the easiest excuse and blame it on the pediatirican telling them that the doc said that no children are able to hold the baby.
The problem with that excuse is that my cousin works for the pediatrician I will be going to - and my whole family goes to him. He says it's fine for the kids to be around the baby as long as they don't get too close or touch him.
I'm waiting until after his 2 months shots. All the kids in my family go to school or have siblings that do and usually someone is always sick, I'm not taking any chances. My ped said to wait 6-8 weeks. I waited 6 to take him to public places and I'll wait until over 8 to be around kids. Rather be cautious than have a uneccessarily sick infant.

Re: Spinoff to taking newborn out
DD was around my nieces from the beginning but we didn't let them touch her- only her feet with socks on. Once she got to be a few weeks old, around 6-8 weeks I started to bring her places where there were kids, but still didn't let them touch her. I only recently started to let kids touch her when she was around 4-5 months. I'm very nervous like that thouh!
