Babies: 0 - 3 Months
Grocery store..bad mommy?
I felt like an awful mom with all the looks...I took LO to grocery store and he is only one month (tomorrow).... It is so hot here (NJ) and I rather not take him out in this humidity. WDYT?

Re: Grocery store..bad mommy?
Why do you feel bad? I'm confused.
This
Don't feel bad at all! I took DS2 to BRU on the way home from the hospital (NEEDED bigger nursing bras b/c engorgement had me popping out of even my oversized ones). He was at Whole Foods at 1 week old and each week thereafter (including today).
In the old days, you would be out milking your cow or gathering chicken eggs for breakfast with your newborn, we now have modern conveniences, but we still have to eat!
BTW, I wear DS in the Moby when we grocery shop and I get a lot of comments about how comfy the baby looks and how adorable he is. Maybe you are misinterpreting the looks and people are just trying to get a glimpse of your LO.
Dr asked he not be in mall, stores etc for at least 2 months... 2 months...jeez. isn't this standard
this is true...prob my own guilt imaging the "looks"
Actually, it isn't. I guess doctors differ. Mine never gave me any. Nor did the pedi for DS1.
After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!
My Christmas baby turned into a turkey bird! Dillon Richard was born at 34 weeks, 5 days on November 28, 2009 after 10 weeks on bedrest for preeclampsia.

I'm thinking you didn't get as many looks as you are thinking. You can't seclude yoruself to the indoors because it's 'humid' outside. I doubt you're hanging out outside for hours on end with LO. People have to go to the grocery store and run errands.

lol, this ^
it's 110 here and i'm not staying home all summer
Standard? In 1955, maybe.
Neither my doctor or my ped gave us any restrictions on when or where we could take DS. He went with us for our anniversary lunch when he was 6 days old (and less than 48 hours after we left the hospital), DS went yard saleing with us when he was 9 days old, we took him to church for the first time when he was 10 days old (and every week after that), AND I took him on a three hour AIRPLANE ride when he was 7 weeks old.
I think you were probably imagining the looks and feeling insecure because of the antiquated advice your doctor gave you. If people were looking at you it was probably in an effort to get a look at your little one, I would be VERY surprised if even one of those people were attempting to pass judgment.
My doctor said this as well.
I cant imagine people would give you looks! We've brought DD out since shes been 3 days, and no looks here!
my doctor told me three weeks...and even then I was going stir crazy.
