So when she was three days old? Lol, I know, awful. But we had to take her to the Ped and we were so far from home and I was so freaking hungry, so we went to Don Pablos and I kept her in the ktan with a blanket draped over so no one could touch her or breathe on her. californiadreams on "When was the first time you took LO to a restaurant?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-first-time-you-took-lo-to-a-restaurant#post-1058358 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 22:33:42 +0000 californiadreams 1058358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 2.5 weeks for my mom's birthday.

C was a perfect angel, but we had terrible service and I ordered tilapia...which I discovered was undercooked and pink, after I ate half of it :( betsyboop on "When was the first time you took LO to a restaurant?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-first-time-you-took-lo-to-a-restaurant#post-1058065 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 19:11:43 +0000 betsyboop 1058065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I think 4 or 5 weeks. deerylou on "When was the first time you took LO to a restaurant?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-first-time-you-took-lo-to-a-restaurant#post-1058040 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 18:57:41 +0000 deerylou 1058040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We took her to brunch with us at 10 days old.

It was the day after we came home from the hospital. And we've taken her out to a restaurant a handful of times since then! I always ask for a booth (I find they are more private) and sit facing away from a majority of people in case I have to nurse. immabeetoo on "When was the first time you took LO to a restaurant?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-first-time-you-took-lo-to-a-restaurant#post-1058035 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 18:55:33 +0000 immabeetoo 1058035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not until he was 4 months I think? Winter baby and not very happy in his carseat kept us home. By then he was more interested and looking around, but we still ate super fast and nervously! Now that he is older he loves going out though.

We love to go out to eat, and it was so easy in those days. Here's a hilarious picture of us all half asleep and unwashed with her when she was three weeks old. I guess we didn't know how to work her cloth diapers then, either? This was also the first time I nursed in public.

It was so easy to go out to eat when she was teeny; she just chilled in her bucket car seat - either slept or looked around at the new and exciting world :) Foodnerd81 on "When was the first time you took LO to a restaurant?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-first-time-you-took-lo-to-a-restaurant#post-1057989 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 18:34:10 +0000 Foodnerd81 1057989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @chanzi: yes, nursing in a wrap seems complicated! I'd love to master it though bc it would make eating out so easy- for both of us! chanzi on "When was the first time you took LO to a restaurant?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-first-time-you-took-lo-to-a-restaurant#post-1057981 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 18:30:10 +0000 chanzi 1057981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Today, at 12 days old! We went out breakfast and I wore him in a wrap. I was glad he slept the whole time because I think nursing in the wrap is still above our skill level.

She slept for most of it but then started to fuss so I had to give her a bottle - about 30 seconds before my meal arrived - this kid and her timing. We went out again a week later and I didn't have a bottle (we hadn't planned on being out long) so I breastfed her under a cover. My first public breastfeed!

I think we went to sushi. At 5 days old, he went to his first wedding. Summer babies are the best- you can take them anywhere without stressing about OMG they haven't gotten their shots yet. luckypenny on "When was the first time you took LO to a restaurant?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-first-time-you-took-lo-to-a-restaurant#post-1057970 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 18:25:08 +0000 luckypenny 1057970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Two weeks old we went to our neighborhood Italian place. blackbird on "When was the first time you took LO to a restaurant?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-first-time-you-took-lo-to-a-restaurant#post-1057967 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 18:24:33 +0000 blackbird 1057967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Hooray for getting out of the house! When she was two weeks old, we took her to lunch with MIL.
