We waited until she had her shots since she was a flu season baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-took-himher-to-church#post-698750 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 10:16:26 +0000 pinkcupcake 698750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't take her out of the house (except for ped's visits) until she was a month old. I think the first time we took her to church she was about 5 wks old? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-took-himher-to-church#post-698742 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 10:14:06 +0000 purrpletulips 698742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Exactly 1 week; born on a Sunday and attended for first time the following Sunday. I didn't put him in the nursery until after his shots at 8weeks though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-took-himher-to-church#post-698410 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 08:40:06 +0000 LuLu Mom 698410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We waited 8 weeks, it was cold season so I was pretty cautious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-took-himher-to-church#post-698407 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 08:37:47 +0000 mrsjyw 698407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8 weeks? We were super cautious with MI weather and a really bad flu season. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-took-himher-to-church#post-698403 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 08:36:51 +0000 Irishmom 698403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 days old...but, it was the summer...I may have waited a little longer if she had been born in the winter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-took-himher-to-church#post-698369 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 08:20:05 +0000 mamimami 698369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One month. That's when we came out of our self-imposed (and pedi-suggested) home quarantine :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-took-himher-to-church#post-698304 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 07:25:26 +0000 MaisyMay 698304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 days. We have a small congregation and everybody was so excited to see her that service started nearly 10 minutes late! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-took-himher-to-church#post-698042 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 21:48:46 +0000 rattles 698042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 days! I wore her in the k'tan, and it was a cinch. Now that she's 4 months it's actually a little trickier because she loves to "talk" aka shriek :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-took-himher-to-church#post-698031 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 21:44:12 +0000 tequiero21 698031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 10 weeks, Sunday after their 2-month shots. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-took-himher-to-church#post-698008 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 21:32:18 +0000 JessiBee 698008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Her baby naming at one week old, but I held her towards me the whole time and nobody could get close to her face. After that, 8 weeks, but we kept her in the carseat (and she was sleeping) so people largely left her alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-took-himher-to-church#post-697965 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 21:18:45 +0000 Weagle 697965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost 2 weeks. She slept the whole time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-took-himher-to-church#post-697769 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 18:24:16 +0000 runsyellowlites 697769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A couple weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-took-himher-to-church#post-697762 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 18:19:25 +0000 pl0508 697762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8 wks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-took-himher-to-church#post-697758 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 18:17:59 +0000 heffalump 697758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm Jewish... but we didn't go to temple until she was past 2 months. We didn't go anywhere with a crowd until she got her shots. I'm glad because all of the old ladies stick their face in hers and touch her hands and face. They do it to my baby niece now too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-took-himher-to-church#post-697756 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 18:16:45 +0000 Running Elley 697756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 weeks! He slept through the whole service in his carseat. It was actually much easier to take him to church then when he slept a lot than it is now that he's a curious 6 month old! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-took-himher-to-church#post-697752 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 18:14:27 +0000 Smurfette 697752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We took her a day shy of 3 weeks for the first time. I was really nervous since she hates the car seat but she slept all through the extra loud Easter service. But I think the long car helped her fall asleep since we went to my parents church. We are going to wait till she cries less in the car seat before we go regularly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-took-himher-to-church#post-697726 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 18:00:52 +0000 charlotte 697726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we just took LO to mass for the 1st time @ 3.5 weeks. would've last week but Easter is always so crowded.</p> <p>it went really well! we brought the carseat in and left him in until communion then my DH carried him. sometimes people bring strollers, so I'd probably do that if I went alone. we had a blanket for the top of the carseat bc the lights are so bright in there.</p> <p>also....we specifically went on Sat. night to minimize stress. its a lot more laid back and there is more room to spread out vs. Sunday. </p> <p>and... I also had a c and did not kneel. honestly, I could feel just the standing and sitting bothering my back and abs a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-took-himher-to-church#post-697723 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 17:59:07 +0000 LittleFox 697723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We waited 2 months, but only because it was such a bad flu season. Nobody has really touched him, but people were happy to see him there. I would take a non flu season baby earlier, plus I won't be a nervous first time mom next time, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-took-himher-to-church#post-697721 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 17:58:12 +0000 matador84 697721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8 weeks when he had all his shots </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-took-himher-to-church#post-697710 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 17:52:42 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 697710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She was born on a Monday and we took her to church that following Sunday. So, six days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-took-himher-to-church#post-697709 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 17:52:26 +0000 dagret 697709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-took-himher-to-church#post-697701 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 17:43:26 +0000 lomom 697701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I were talking about when LO will go to Mass for the first time and we are thinking 2-3 weeks. No one at our church is super pushy or anything, I doubt we'll have people trying to touch him. We really don't know many of the other parishioners so it'd be pretty odd if some stranger came up and tried to touch him. I plan to hold him the whole time anyway, I doubt I'll be getting down on the kneelers for awhile after a c section. </p> <p>How old was your LO? </p>
