I will be letting people cone over and visit right away as long as no one is ill. For walking outside that's fine at any age as long as the temp is mild and baby is properly dressed. As for taking baby out to the mall or grocery store I'm going to wait until after the first set of shots. You never know who is just gonna come up and think they are so cute or what other little kid is gonna be coughing around them not covering their mouths.

Im gonna wait to take my daughter to the pool until shes at leat 6 months to just dip her toes even lol and walks and stuff probably until shes one month but to meet people I will just tell people they can come over to my house lol I dont wamma take her anywhere im terrified of the way people drive out here.. I already got 3 different wipes and sanitizers haha

Always make sure hands are washed when anyone wants to hold baby also not sick, this can happen whenever your comfortable. Going on walks in stroller I'd say you can wait a week or 2 but just make sure baby isn't to hot or cold. As for swimming there is alot of bacteria in pools even with chlorine. I'd wait til past 2 if in adult pool but if you get Lil kiddo pool I'd say 1 is fine. Good luck hun

Well those are all very different activities. Just meeting people can be the day of, make sure no one is sick! I'm waiting until the first Dr check up. I'm assuming when you say going for walks, you mean in a stroller. Same thing as being out in public, it depends on you. Swimming is much later.. the baby cannot support it's head and can drown in seconds. You need to wait much longer for that.
