They can, but its not really a good idea to take them in large crowds around too many people and children. They can get very sick and very unhappy. The world is going to be brand new to them, so taking them out in a groupd setting like a church may be hard for baby and for u. You will be feeding evey 2 hours for the first few weeks. So taking them out for events isnt always practical. Its up to you, no wrong or right answer really...
With my first daughter I went to the grocery store before she was a week old... just put a blanket over her car seat and she did fine.. going to hopefully be able to stay in with baby girl #2 but if I need to go out blanket over the car seat it will be
I took out my first bb when he was 2 weeks old n my second bb a few days after he was born so it ok to take the bb out
I asked my midwife the same question and she stated they are fine to go out but don't let people touch the baby and get too close. Obviously family members and friends are ok because you know their hygiene habits and can make sure they wash their hands. Your baby will be fine to attend church in my opinion. We have to take our son to the pediatrician for a check up within a week of his birth and Dr. Offices carry lots of germs.
Leviticus 12:1-6 tells you what is expected after birth, being a church girl and all. That with common sense of just trying to limit exposure to germs, etc, it makes sense. Take it from someone who doesn't like to miss and I was out 6 wks w/a girl and 4 w/my son. Just reach out, find out what's going on and stayed "involved" from home. It is a long time, but u will get thru it.
I also brought a brica car seat cover and it has a mess like material and a cover so.if I have to go out she is covered. The brica is really nice get one of those too that keeps the baby protected from bugs germs too much sun etc and it has a rain cover too
I didnt have my first baby come out until she was a month old. This baby will be the same, but its more so up to you. Ive seen moms take their babies out in the same day, but I`d wait until your baby has vaccines, because its too much going on and going around these days.
Your right,I'll think about it.
That's what my fiancee wants to do but he rather our baby not go out.
Thanks,I'll see what I can do,my mom said since my fiancee says we shouldn't that maybe he could stay up with the baby,and I'll just leave him with the necessary assories, such as bottles of Breast milk.Thanks.
So,u said it should be okay to take new baby out,but just limit the touching from others,but myself and my fiancée
Dr recommended you keep baby home until it's 2-3 weeks old if very healthy baby ....mostly until 6 weeks due to vaccines. My good friend is a church girl she hates not going and missing out. But she stayed at home until bub was a month old on safe side plus you would be sleeping a lot. You don't want people crowding over a newborn even if you don't let them hold the bub. You don't want bub to get sick etc
I will just put my baby in my ergo carrier and feel like he's pretty safe in there, plus I'm the only one who will be holding him.
I feel like that's your call depending on what you and him agree on. My sister stayed home when my neice was newborn for the first 3 or 4 weeks. My brother had his baby between 4 houses within the first week or 2 I'm pla ning on taking my baby girl out of the province on a 5-6 hour ride when she is 2-3 weeks old as the fiances family live in a different province and I want to get her out to them before it snows in the pine pass or we won't be going until spring because we don't want her on those roads in the winter
U have to wait lyk a month to go u nd nd da baby because u can have a set back nd u dnt want dat
My son will not go out in public until he is properly vaccinated there are a lot of contagious diseases like pertussis and measles that are on the rise its not worth the risk no one bit close family will be allowed to visit and handle baby everything and everyone else can wait until its medically safe
I had my first on the 10th and about a week old we went to our first restaurant with him. Just keep him/her comfortable and only have people you trust/know who aren't sick hold the baby (probably just you and your husband for the first few weeks). Trust me almost to 1 month old and my son has only been cranky from dirty diapers and feedings. Best of luck ^.^
Well this is baby #4 for us and baby 2 and 3 went everywhere we did. We just limited who touches, holds or gets close. Babies are typically resilient if born without complications.
Babies don't get all their vaccines until 2 months. We're keeping baby home the first 2-3 weeks and when then only plan to be around family, with only dad and me holding him. (And grandparents) my doctor explained it this way: babies have the whole rest of their lives to be around people, but only a few weeks to be home in quiet with mom and dad bonding without the noise of the world around.
