I've already taken my baby girl out and she's just over a week old. Just wondering!
Nutmeg, cilantro, sage, mint, thyme... these are a few of my favorite things! Visit The Nest!Visit The Nest! We have four children; one left us too soon.

    Pedi recommended 2-3 weeks, but I took DD out sooner to things that weren't avoidable.

    We took her out after she was over 1 week and she did great. We went out to eat and she slept the entire time.

    My pedi said 3 months.  We would do short trips right away, but I wouldn't let anyone get close.  After his 2 month shots we went out more - still don't let strangers get very close.

    my pedi never said.....DS went with us BRU at about a week.  he is still alive to tell the story.

    i just didn't let anyone come near him.

    We started taking her most places with us at about 5 days old. We just keep her in the car seat and don't let people get too close.

    My pedi never said anything, however DS went out to Target and BRU at 4 days old and we went out to Costco at 8 days old.  I never restricted him going out.  If he was born in cold and flu season I probably wouldn't have been out so early.

    We stopped by my grandmother's retirement community on the way home from the hospital.   DD has been out and about ever since then - almost every day.  She's a lot less fussy in the evening if she's been in the car and out somewhere during the day.  And I don't keep her away from everyone.

    The only thing that I've heard recently is that FF babies need to be kept in for a couple of weeks because they don't get the immunities from mom.  I don't know if that's true or not though.
