I agree with @pelikila: I think keeping a regulated temperature on the baby would be difficult since you will be out in the sun for the majority of the day.

@Mrsbells: I personally don't think you'd be exposing her to too many germs as long as you don't let random strangers come over and touch her but I imagine you are already on top of that. I'd still say no thanks to the theme park though. Maybe I was too tired at that point but being out and about for a long day in the heat would have been miserable for me at 2 months post partum.

I wouldn't be worried about the germs at that point. I just feel like it wouldn't be that fun to be in the hot sun with a baby? Not unless the weather will be pleasant by you in a month.

I have been taking mine to Disneyland since about 6 weeks. We have passes and go a lot so I didn't mind not going on all the rides

I voted no because of all the reasons listed above. It'll probably be a bit uncomfortable for the baby and you, plus at that age, you'll be doing lots of diaper changes and feeds. I don't know how much fun it'll be. =\ And I would feel a bit concerned about germ exposure at that age (but I'm a germophobe so I'd be scared about germ exposure at that age in any public place).

@mrsbells. I would always have a stroller and a carrier. I have four kids and they all reacted differently. My oldest road in the stroller no problem. He loved it. My twins sat in the front facing carriers we had and napped in their stroller. My daughter wants to be carried always and hates every type of carrier I have tried. That's the worst because by the end of the day my arm is usually tired. Having the stroller with you is good for storage.

You can check whatever amusement park you are going to, but Disneyland has a baby care center. You can go in and nurse or they have little toddler toilets and stuff. Most of the time I jus sit on a bench and nurse but I did go in there with my twins. It's hard to tandem nurse with modesty. But with my singles I just nursed where ever. If we were in a longer line I just did it while we were waiting in line.

For heat I just made sure I drank a ton of water and monitored it carefully I set a reminder on my phone to have a bottle every hour. I know that may seem silly but when you are chasing three toddlers while nursing an infant I have to remind myself of things like that. I also kept them out of direct sun and we have a mister bottle. It's the squirt bottle with a fan. That helps a little. They also have uv swim suits that you could use to help prevent sun exposure.

I agree with others...I just wouldn't find it very fun! But I also have a 3 month old who naps poorly when we are out and about and I know he would be a cranky mess if we were at an amusement park! I would be worrying all day about his lack of sleep, the heat and everything in general.

Funny enough, my DH and I were talking about this the other day and how it would suck to never be able to go on a ride together (unless we went with a group)!

I probably wouldn't do it just because it would be kind of a pain & probably really hot. If you have a great team who can help you & if you are good at nursing in a carrier/in public, it might be okay. Good luck!
