When did you take LO to a restaurant?

CamFam · August 2010

I am really craving Ruby Tuesday's salad bar and would love to take LO. My husband thinks he is too small and is worried we won't be able to enjoy ourselves.

When did you take LO to a restaurant and how did it go?

They younger the better, IMO. At 3 weeks there's a good chance he'll just sleep in his carseat the whole time.

He was maybe 5 days old the first time (lunch). Since then we have taken him to a restaurant 3-4x/week. He has always done realy well... Usually sleeps through our whole meal.

About 2 weeks old. She woke up and wanted to eat. One of us ate, the other fed, and then we traded.

DD was a week old, she pretty much slept in her car seat the whole time.

P.S. I'm jealous that you guys have a Ruby Tuesday's. I miss their mini burgers and salad bar.

4 days. It was after our first pedi appointment, and we went out for lunch. LO was in his car seat the entire time, covered and sleeping soundly.

I am addicted! The mini burgers are 50 cents extra with salad bar... who could resist! Smile

Thanks ladies, I can now defend my request to my husband. "The Bump mommies did it. So can we!"

3 weeks....we went out to breakfast. She wanted to eat with us...so I feed her and then ate. We took her to dinner last night and she slept thru the entire thing.

Love me some Ruby Tuesdays. We go everytime we visit the family!

He was 6 or 7 days old. I was nervous at first but you just have to get out and do it.

We took DS out to lunch yesterday (8 days old) with my parents and family friends. We didnt really have a place for the carseat, so my dad and I passed him back and forth during the meal and he slept the whole time!

Btw, I used to wait tables at Ruby Tuesdays and almost always took home some mini's and salad bar at the end of my shift Smile

Her first time was at a week old. Everytime I make sure she's burped, fed, and has a clean diaper. She sleeps the whole time usually.

At exactly 7 days old DD went out with us to a very crowded and loud pub/restaurant with DHs extended family. She's been out to eat with us at least 12 times since she was born (she's 5 1/2 weeks). DD is FF though so I never have to worry about feeding her in public. She goes everywhere...I don't do well with sitting around the house all week.

McDonalds at 4 days - she slept the whole time. A local Mexican place at 6 days - she nursed most of the time. Luckily I learned to nurse and eat with DD1.

I think she was maybe a week and a half old and slept right through it. We've taken her about probably 5 or 6 times total and only once has woken up and fussed during a meal.

Take off when he falls asleep and you're certain he'll be sleeping for awhile. We went to several restaurants when DS was 2-3 weeks old when our family was visiting. He was perfect, just slept the entire time.

I met a friend for lunch when he was about 3-4 weeks old. He slept the whole time.

AliciaCM · August 2010

She was a day old. She slept most of the time. But I did rnd up holding her for about half the meal. We go out a couple times a week. She always does fine. Sometimes I end up needing to feed her, but it's not a big deal. Enjoy yourself!

Noahs*Mommy · August 2010

3 days, and he slept the entire time. Since then we probably take him 3-4 times a week and he has only been fussy one time.

driveshorses · August 2010

Pretty much every week since she was a week old. She just slept in her car seat. This is the best time to take them out!

MWoodside · August 2010

I haven't.

opheliacantswim · August 2010

Less than three weeks, although I don't remember the exact date. Like others said, LO will probably just sleep through it. Easy cheesy. Enjoy!

jenxoxoxo · August 2010

We took her when she was 3 wks old. Just feed him before you leave and then you can enjoy a couple of hours while he sleeps in his car seat.

kimmyt09 · August 2010

We just got home from our 2nd time, but I've been nervous about keeping him in the restaurant so we've been eating outside. I think next week I'll brave indoors to meet my friend who's visiting for the week. Idk why I'm such a scaredy cat!
