When did you feel comfortable regularly taking LO out on errands, shopping, to gatherings, on strolls, etc.?

    I still don't! I just don't want strangers coming up to him. DH and I went to the mall with him last week and two little kids ran right up to us asking all these questions about the baby. The clearly wanted to touch him - good thing I was holding him. I do take him for walks outside in the carrier and to small family BBQs. He hates his car seat so it's hard to go to a lot of places with him now.

    I started taking her out about 2 weeks after her due date, so 2 months old.  I think your safe most places, I just don't let anyone touch her.  Some crazy lady tried to kiss her when I was at JC Penneys with her a couple months ago, I moved DD so fast!  lol

    Our first outing was around 6 weeks, a bit more around 13 weeks, increased around 20 weeks and finally just in the last few weeks take him prettty much everywhere.  DS had a lot of issues in his first 5 months of life and I was comfortable taking him around a lot.  But since hitting the 6 month mark he is a different baby and I can take him anywhere and know he will be ok and of course then I too will be ok!

    I did it pretty early on.  We took DD to my parents' on day three of her little life (they lived like 10 minutes away, though).  I was taking her on walks around the block by 1 week pp, and to the grocery store maybe a couple weeks later.
