Parenting after a Loss

6 week old at a baby shower?

I just got an invite and I'd like to try and take Cora. Do you think I should give it a try? I guess it all depends on how fussy she is that day.

  • I think it would be fine, everyone at baby showers love babies!  I'm taking Jake to a baby shower in 2 weeks, and there will be several babies there (a few younger than him).

  • I think that would be great! And I am sure everyone will be supportive if Corra gets fussy/eats constantly/etc. Plus the mom-to-be will get a glimpse of baby life if she doesn't already have one :)

  • I think it would be a perfect trip out.  There will be many women to ohh and ahh over Cora and they will totally understand if she gets fussy.

  • I took Taylor to my sisters baby shower at just over a week old and then to a bridal shower at about 6weeks and another at 7weeks and she did great at all 3.

    ETA - I did not let anyone hold her unless they were family or really close friends

  • I went to a baby shower when Taylor was just a few weeks old. There were tons of little kids and babies and the mother to be didn't care at all. Also, Taylor slept the entire time we were there. If she gets fussy you could always try to settle her or leave if you have to.
  • I took Ethan to a baby shower when he was two weeks old. There were only a few people there but everyone enjoyed meeting him. He slept most of the time. Have fun!
  • My sister brought my nephew to my baby shower at 6 weeks old and it was fine!  Go and have fun!!! :)
  • I took Aidan to a baby shower when he was 7 weeks old and he did fine.  Everyone was happy to see him.The only time I felt bad was when he was the center of attention because he blew out his diaper when someone was holding him.....ooops!
