Brief Answer:
Wait until full quarantine...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand the situation, but you have to wait until the end of the quarantine period - 15 days before you can reach out to your baby and other family members. In the meantime, if you develop fever, cough or cold you should get COVID test done.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarification.

Regards
