Bringing Baby Out

When did you start bringing your baby out
in public?
My husband's work is having a christmas
party for employee's children. There's
free food and drinks and the kids get a
$25 gift. I have to fill out the
paperwork and send it in by this week.
Ava will be about 4-5 weeks old. Is it
okay if I take her out that soon?
I might be totally off either way, but I
don't know. She's my first.
I'm also scared if I need a section.
Will I be okay to go about in public 4-5
weeks after my c-section?
Thanks!

Oh heck yeah, she'll be fine! We had to
take .Aly out at four days old, because I
needed nursing stuff and my husband was
clueless.
And you should be fine going out after
your section as soon as you're feeling up
to it.

When .I read the subject,
.I sang it to the tune of bringng sexy
back..
Lmao.
My good friend is waiting until her son is
6 weeks old to bring him out &about in
public. I'm not sure if that's how long
you're supposed to wait, or if she's just
doing it that way 'cause that's how she
wants to do it!
I'd think 4-5 weeks old wouldn't be a huge
problem.

i don't know about c-sections. Has ava
had her shots? They wouldn't give chu
any until he was 6 wks old. I didn't
take him around .A.N.Y.O.N.E until he had
his shots. But that's just me. Always
better to be safe than sorry I say. Plus
i'm a weirdo about people touching my
baby. I don't want anyone touching him
because some people are just sloppy,
nasty, dirty f*cks (excuse me but that's
how I feel). And I guarantee that those
are usually the ones that try to run in
and kiss/touch/pick up your baby and it's
really exhausting fighting them off.

The party is november 30th, so hopefully
she's 4-5 weeks old if she comes soon. I
don't know about the whole sitting on
santa part, but it's free food, drinks,
and a gift. I'd be stupid to pass that
up! Lol
i'll just keep her in her infant seat and
hopefully she sleeps the whole time, so
people don't ask.

I took my daughter to work with me when
she was 4 days old. Babies don't need to
be 'secluded'. But if you are concerned,
ask your doctor what s/he thinks about
it.
Think about how many people will be coming
to visit in the hospital - how many people
will show up at your house the first weeks
after she is born. If her immune system
is fragile, it might be a concern - but if
not, go to the holiday party!

i didn't do it bcuz he hadn't had his
shots and my doc advised against taking
him out before getting them. I'm a first
timer so maybe i'm noided. If everyone
else has done it and no adverse effects
then maybe i'll try it next time around.
It would have been nice to just get out of
the house during the first month for
something besides doctor visits!

Its up to the parent when u bring your kid
out, I had to get stuff the day I got out
the hossy , and hubby wasnt there at the
time so I went out but of course this was
august in florida so not to bad, when my
daughter is born december I prob wont go
out to much , it will be way toooooo cold
I dont wanna bring either kids outside.
My friends soen was only a week old and
she had him out and about going to church
etc. Heck I wa sbabysitting him at 3
weeks old and her daughter so she could go
out for her bday. Just as long as people
aretn wanting to get up in the babies face
and touching the baby etc ya know then its
fine, u can even buy a carseat cover that
has alil hole u zip just to see there face
to feel better about going out

I took both my kids out at around a week
old. I didn't have a csection though.
I got a cab to an italian restaurant near
me (just in case) and wrapped logan up
warm. He was born jan 15
layla went back and forth from my house to
my hubbys (at time we weren't living
together) he took her on a 10 min journey
to his house wrapped u well when she was 2
days old.
Don't worry about it baby will be fine!
You think in other countries they keep em
indoors for weeks? Nope they gotta get on
with it.
Its if you feel recovered enough that you
should thnk about but alot of celebraties
are swanning around a week afer a csection
so you might be ok.

I took lucas out for a walk (in his pram)
at 6 days old. He was around lots of
people at 3 weeks old when I invited lots
of old friends round for the day. I agree
with what others said, theres no exact
time you .M.U.S.T keep your baby inside
for, do whatever feels right for you.

My doctor told me not to take .Melia out
because she was so small....Well being a
single parent that was kinda hard. I
toke her out at about 2 weeks old because
I needed things. I had a section and I
was able to drive at 2 weeks. I started
taking her outside at day number 2 because
of her jaundice (sp)
it's all up to the parent.
