I'm wanting to take DS to the museum on Saturday for a big chemistry exhibit they have going on. I figure if I wear M, it'll be a nice place to take his first non-doctor outing. He'll be just 12 days old.
I'm getting antsy staying at home!
When did you take your new LO out?

Went out to lunch the day I got home from the hospital (I think 4 days pp?). Had her baby naming at 8 days pp with a big crowd of friends and family, and 10 days pp took a road trip to our family's lake house 4.5 hrs away! I think LO will do great!

We went for walks starting as soon as we got home. We took her to church at 8 days old, and I took her to a Christmas market/festival and restaurant at 12 days old. I wore her around with no issues. They're portable at that age, so I lived it up while I could!

To the mall at 9 days. I desperately needed nursing bras! I kept him in his car seat in the stroller and kept a light blanket over the top. He slept the whole time.

With my first I took her shopping when she was only 10 days old. I wore her the whole time. I don't remember how old DS#2 was, it was probably a little older because the flu season was so bad this year.

Aside from doc appts and errands (he stayed in carseat in car with one of us) i think we brought him into a grocery one time before the 8 week mark.
I took him to a baby shower at that point. It was durnig the frigid cold/flu season and we wanted him to have his shots first.

Aside from doctor's appointments and walks, not until after 8 weeks!

Aside from Dr.'s visits and a trip to my mom's at like 5 days (hello cabin fever!!)? Our first big public outing was to Target and Starbucks when she was 10 days old

Pretty early for both of them...like we were going out to eat at around the week mark. I took DD with me to E's library storytime at 2 weeks old and just wore her!

We took DS outside for walks around the neighborhood when he was probably a few days old. It's good that I didn't want to keep him at home for very long, because when he was 10 days old we had to evacuate to a friend's apartment because of Hurricane Sandy, and then to a hotel for a few nights, so he was out in public quite a bit!

I think ten days old was the first out to eat outing I can remember. We went to the dr and for a blood draw at the lab and I ran into target at four days. We were walking in the park from four days on for jaundice.
I say go ahead and try it!

I took him to BRU at 4 days old. It was in the summer, and he was totally concealed in his stroller.

Took her to the grocery store at 5 days and then on an outing pretty much every day afterwards. I used the Ergo with the infant insert and it was so easy.

We went to our small group's barbecue when he was three days old and also made a quick trip to Target to pick up some baby necessities while we were out. We then went out to dinner for my sister's birthday when he was 5 days old.

Around 2.5 weeks? We were in the hospital for a week though and then the week after I was still not feeling up for it.

Two weeks for DD (hurricane evacuation)
10 days for DS (for Indian buffet and got a nasty comment from a mean old lady)

Besides doctors visits and walks, our first public outing (Target and Starbucks for the win!) was at nine weeks. I wish I'd appreciated how portable he was then, and I was *super* anxious/post partum-y, so I say go for it!

2 days. We went for a walk the day we got home from the hospital! I think I went to rite aid with him a day or two later?

Call me nuts but I was starving so we were out and about as soon as we left the hospital! I'm not a fan of hospital food AT ALL. After that I had him out pretty frequently with no issues from the day after we got home. It was actually easier getting out then than it is now at 4 months!

3 or so days? Maybe 4? He was born on Wed, we were discharged on Friday, and it was Sat or Sun, I don't remember. We went to Target and to a consignment shop.
