[quote=Anonymous]We have a one year old in DC, no car. It’s not a problem at all. We are walking distance to the pediatrician, which is key. We also host a nanny share - for a while we were in a share where someone else hosted, also not a problem. You just need your childcare to be within walking distance as well. We are walking distance to the metro and many busses as well. However, that has not been helpful. Even pre-covid, we didn’t want to take a newborn on public transit during flu season, just for the first 2 months, and covid hit when he was 7 weeks. I can tell it’ll be helpful once we’re post pandemic though.

I will say - covid would make this more difficult, particularly at the very, very beginning, because I, for one, am not comfortable putting the baby in a cab during covid (something I would do without hesitation in regular times). While I was still healing and not able to walk the 20 mins each way to the pediatrician, we took cabs - probably four round trips in the first month. Not sure how I would handle that during covid, but that would be tough. You’ll want a plan for that. [/quote]
