Thanks, Elegran. Did babies not count in the rule of six either? I had missed that.

Baby has not been counted as another "person" in the rules so far, so I assume would not count now. I would, however, also assume that baby's mother would make sure that the minimum number of people picked up the baby and cuddled and kissed him/her!

As I understand the proposed new rules, one person in a household may meet one person from another household outdoors in a public space. Two questions/scenarios come to mind - firstly, how many times a day could people do this (thus meeting many people, surely not the intention)?
Secondly, has anyone thought about a parent with a young child/baby, perhaps on maternity leave, and a partner at work or WFH. Can that parent meet anybody else in a public space with baby in tow or does baby make three? I worry for people in this situation, especially those struggling with post-natal depression or just with being a new parent.
