So, I have no problem having DD around our family and even going to their houses and such. No problem there what-so-ever. However, DH just told me that his dad is having a get together on Saturday for DH's mom's bday. There will be friends in addition to family. I am not 100% comfortable having DD around this handful of friends being that she is still so young. She will be 2 weeks on Saturday. Has anyone else had their LO around non-family members so early on? If we do go, I would make it a point that it would not be a day of "pass the baby" and DH and I would be the ones holding her while there. Maybe I am just having a case of "first time mommy paranoia."
Any advice?
Re: Is 2 weeks too early?
I already had DD out and about a good bit by 2 weeks. We'd been to coffee shops, friends houses, birth circle, stores. I think that if you don't let folks play 'pass-the-baby' you'll be fine and probably enjoy getting to show off your darling.
How long will you be there? Are you nursing?
