I took my LO everywhere....we went to a huge bbq 9 days after she was born! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-1-month-old-to#post-988302 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 12:16:13 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 988302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go to the baby shower but probably not to the birthday party, but would definitely have LO in a Moby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-1-month-old-to#post-988253 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 11:28:59 +0000 littlek 988253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-1-month-old-to#post-988223 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 10:55:48 +0000 tysonja 988223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i would if you are feeling good, but if not don't worry about it and rest up! :) or just go for an hour or so :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-1-month-old-to#post-987965 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 07:05:32 +0000 Dandelion 987965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd do it, too, and also wear LO to avoid anyone wanted to hold baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-1-month-old-to#post-987944 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 06:40:39 +0000 Boheme 987944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shower - maybe. Birthday party - no. I was just too stressed at one month old to have my LO around a ton of kids or worry about people holding him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-1-month-old-to#post-987929 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 06:19:00 +0000 SugarplumsMom 987929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd decline. There's a bad stomach bug going around right now and I just don't wanna risk it. Plus, when she was a month old, the getting ready to go part was longer than actually enjoying ourselves anywhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-1-month-old-to#post-987922 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 06:02:05 +0000 Pepper 987922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go to the shower with LO but not the birthday party. I'm very nervous about germs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-1-month-old-to#post-987893 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 03:26:22 +0000 MamaJ 987893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took my one month old to a baby shower. No one really asked to hold him other than family (it was my SILs shower) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-1-month-old-to#post-987887 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 02:54:48 +0000 erinpye 987887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with baby wearing if you go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-1-month-old-to#post-986087 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 20:40:09 +0000 blackbird 986087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes but I would wear her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-1-month-old-to#post-986079 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 20:38:19 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 986079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just baby wore at things like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-1-month-old-to#post-986077 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 20:35:44 +0000 luckypenny 986077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would. He will probably sleep the whole time </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-1-month-old-to#post-986074 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 20:35:14 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 986074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took my son to my nephew's birthday when he was 1 week. I just was very picky about who held him. When they're so little I think maybe it's easier, because random people know they're so fragile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-1-month-old-to#post-986062 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 20:28:45 +0000 Pink Champagne 986062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took my baby to a wedding when he was 10 days old so...<br /> It's summer. And you don't have to let anyone hold LO- at the wedding, I kept him in the K'Tan. My friend recently had her LO wrapped up in the Moby and told everyone, "Oh, I would let you hold her but its such a pain to wrap and unwrap her," and people were ok with that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-1-month-old-to#post-986048 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 20:22:16 +0000 Mrsjets 986048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm one that wouldn't. I just think kids bring germs and unless I'd be wearing the baby/no one would hold him I would politely decline. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-1-month-old-to#post-986036 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 20:17:36 +0000 MrsRoo 986036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took LO to a family get together at 1 month old. Our pedi said it was fine for her to be out like that but to use good judgement about people holding her. I just made sure that anyone who held her had washed their hands, that she didn't leave my sight, and I absolutely took her back or declined letting someone hold her if I felt like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-1-month-old-to#post-986031 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 20:16:05 +0000 Rubies 986031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't not because I was afraid of germs but because based on my experience with DD, at 1 month I wasn't ready to go anywhere entirely social. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-1-month-old-to#post-986029 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 20:15:22 +0000 Smurfette 986029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes to both, only I would wear LO so no germs get on them. I took R to a 2 year old bday party at 4 or 5 weeks. I wore her in the Ktan the whole time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-1-month-old-to#post-986027 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 20:14:22 +0000 birdofafeather 986027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would! If I were worried about randoms holding her, I wore her in a carrier! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-1-month-old-to#post-986016 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 20:10:52 +0000 dolphin 986016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Its probably fine but for me I didn't! Its Chinese tradition for mama and baby to not go out for a month after giving birth. Plus, DD was a winter baby so I was paranoid about exposing her to sickies during flu season. I probably didnt feel comfortable taking her to a party until she was 3 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-1-month-old-to#post-985998 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 20:01:33 +0000 Revel 985998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took LO to a 1 yr old's birthday at 4 weeks with no problems. Because the events are the same weekend i might just pick one. I was more overwhelmed at that time by feeling over scheduled than I was by the individual outings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-1-month-old-to#post-985959 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 19:42:41 +0000 MsLipGloss 985959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baby shower yes! Birthday party no! Too many germs from LOs at the birthday party for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-1-month-old-to#post-985951 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 19:41:04 +0000 autumnlove 985951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would! LO had her first play date at 3 weeks and they did tummy time together! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-1-month-old-to#post-985950 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 19:41:03 +0000 sarac 985950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-1-month-old-to#post-985941 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 19:37:08 +0000 ALV91711 985941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I'd go. Just ask people to wash hands if you are worried about germs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-1-month-old-to#post-985927 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 19:33:26 +0000 delight 985927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would too. My own baby shower is scheduled for about a month after my due date and I know everyone is going to want to hold the guest of honour! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-1-month-old-to#post-985915 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 19:28:15 +0000 Weagle 985915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did. It was fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-1-month-old-to#post-985909 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 19:23:39 +0000 Cchoi4 985909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>...a baby shower or a 1 yr old's birthday? We've gotten invites to both (in the same weekend, one on a saturday, one on a sunday). One is for the wife of a good friend of my husbands, the other is for my cousin's baby.</p> <p>Our son will be 1 month old exactly and I am a bit worried of taking him somewhere that will have a lot of young kids and/or a lot of adults who may ask to hold him...</p> <p>Is 1 month old enough for these types of outings or should I politely decline? </p>
