We listened to our pediatrician who said no public places until 8 weeks so we stuck to walks around the neighborhood.

We had DD out to buy her a couple more sleepers when she was 3 weeks old, and an older lady said "oh in my day we didn't take babies out of the house for the first 2 months, I guess things have changed" Hubby and I just nodded at her, super annoying!

I took DS to Target when he was 2 days old, following an appointment at his dr's office to get something she recommended. I also took him to a new moms group and a La Leche League meeting when he was a week old. He never got passed around and was in the infant seat or a carrier and I kept him covered. I needed to get out of the house, that is all there is to it. Don't feel guilty!!!

Yep, but it was the opposite for us. SIL couldn't understand why we waited until 6 weeks to take LO out grocery shopping. She kept making comments. We were at a party and I just had to ignore her. Thank goodness we were surrounded by others who had kids so they should understand, so everyone just smiled and laughed.

LO will be here (hopefully) in November, so likely that the only times we'll be out is for doc appts. Maybe for walks, if it's not super cold already. My mom is enforcing the 3 week rule on me staying inside the house w baby, so I probably won't leave the house for any other reason that doc's anyway!

I brought my baby home from the nicu and took her to the dog park the next day. And then out to breakfast and basically just all around. She was perfectly healthy, I kept her in the moby, and I really don't understand why people don't. I'd never have stayed home for 6 or 8 weeks. Not unless she'd been deathly ill the entire time, or some other kind of very medically fragile.
