Maybe can you leave her in a stroller?

How sad no one else is signing up!

Toddlers love babies and would definitely want to touch. I vote for skipping it.

I would skip.

Now if it was a 3 month old baby, sure, probably more germs around at the grocery store. But 3 weeks is still TINY.

I would wear him or bring a stroller. I took mine to a weekly BFing class and it's not like I passed him around to everyone--i'm sure the door handles were the germiest things of all, so I washed and used sanitizer. I brought T in to E's school a few times when i was signing her up and paying tuition and everyone did want to look, but nobody tried to touch or grab. They just wanted to see the baby.

I am not an overly cautious parent at all yet I would skip that. I would be happy to do so once the baby had her first vaccines. I feel like especially these days you never know if kids in daycare have all their vaccines and I would just feel really terrible if baby got sick.

I think it's great of you to try to go. I just want to point out that I would imagine most parents are at work so that's why they haven't signed up!!

I took A to L's holiday party when she was four weeks old. It was the entire preschool, all the siblings, all the parents, and a bunch of grandparents. I had her wrapped the entire time and beyond a couple of my friends coming to peek at her no one bothered her at all. C on the other hand was into everyone and did end up picking up a virus. She was 13 months though so a bit more sturdy.

Can you wear her? I think people are less inclined to bug a baby in a carrier because then they're also all up in your boob area.

Since it is flu and RSV season, I would skip.

At 3 weeks I had to start dropping-off/picking-up my son from daycare. Id say do it. Babywear, tell the kiddos no touching, and wash hands.

I would skip. I only had about 50/50 success keeping the toddlers away from my newborn in the Ktan at pickup every day. DD was so proud of her brother she wanted everyone to see.

I would go and just keep baby in the car seat

Another vote for go if baby can either be worn or stay in car seat covered the whole time!

@mrs.shinerbock: I would do it too.

I would go and cover the baby up with a blanket or babywear.

Hmmm, tough decision. I mean the baby could get sick from him anyway but since she's so little and it's flu season I would probably stay away. I tend to be on the overly cautious side though. But it would be a nice treat for your son!
