If she's fussy I take her out and watch rest of sermon on the TVs in the lobby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-taking-lo-to-church#post-818782 Thu, 30 May 2013 15:39:10 +0000 wheres_c 818782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We waited until he'd had his shots </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-taking-lo-to-church#post-818768 Thu, 30 May 2013 15:34:49 +0000 rattles 818768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Five days. I wore her in the kangaroo position in a K'Tan for the first two months or so, which kept everyone at a healthy distance. We don't have a nursery, so DH and I just take turns holding her now (6 months Saturday).</p> <p>ETA: It was so much easier when she was in the sleepy newborn stage! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-taking-lo-to-church#post-818761 Thu, 30 May 2013 15:32:27 +0000 Honeybee 818761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Immediately. I think DD was less than a week, and DS was just over 1 week. We've never gone to a church with a nursery, though, so the kids just hang out with us in the family room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-taking-lo-to-church#post-818683 Thu, 30 May 2013 15:05:47 +0000 misolee 818683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One month but I'm a staff worker so I had no choice. She just stayed with my mom in the back or in my office downstairs. She didnt start going to nursery until she was 3 months tho bc it was winter and I was afraid of the cold going around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-taking-lo-to-church#post-818677 Thu, 30 May 2013 15:02:58 +0000 runsyellowlites 818677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>P was 2 weeks old when we returned &amp; then it was very hit &amp; miss until she was around 6-7 months. P didnt go to the nursery until after her first birthday. I refuse to let our next keep us from church like adjusting to P did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-taking-lo-to-church#post-818653 Thu, 30 May 2013 14:51:25 +0000 dagret 818653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 or 3 weeks I think, but we didn't let anyone touch him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-taking-lo-to-church#post-818596 Thu, 30 May 2013 14:30:47 +0000 chopsuey 818596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD went for the first time at 2 weeks old.<br /> I forget how old DS was.. he was born in the winter so we didn't take him til a bit later </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-taking-lo-to-church#post-818426 Thu, 30 May 2013 13:54:59 +0000 tororojo 818426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 weeks, we just brought the car seat in with us. But it was close to Easter so that made a difference. Didn't put her in the nursery until after her 2 month shots. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-taking-lo-to-church#post-818420 Thu, 30 May 2013 13:53:34 +0000 Weagle 818420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 weeks. I kept her in the sling or I was in the nursing moms mostly. She went to the nursery for the first time at 10 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-taking-lo-to-church#post-818405 Thu, 30 May 2013 13:50:02 +0000 Mrsbells 818405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: I waited til LO was 3.5 months. We go to a large church and it was so hot last summer and everyone would want to hold her.. I wanted her to get her Dtap (whooping cough) shots first </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-taking-lo-to-church#post-818397 Thu, 30 May 2013 13:47:40 +0000 tinyperson 818397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We waited till about 6-7 weeks because of flu season and some feeding issues. Sundays are hard schedule wise, but we make an effort to be there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-taking-lo-to-church#post-818395 Thu, 30 May 2013 13:46:55 +0000 pl0508 818395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8 weeks and he started going in the nursery at 12 weeks ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-taking-lo-to-church#post-818357 Thu, 30 May 2013 13:37:10 +0000 Boheme 818357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've noticed a ton of families at my church come back when baby is only a couple of weeks old - they don't go to the nursery, but they just baby-wear during the service. </p> <p>I really have no idea what I'll feel comfortable with! DH is on staff at church so I'd like to be back sooner rather than later, but who knows? My peds office says 8-12 weeks. When did you start going back? </p>
