[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks everyone. My pediatrician told us to wait until 6-8 weeks to bring her out to the mall. I was surprised. Isn't the rule of thumb 4 weeks?[/quote] This is SO old school - AND it only works for your FIRST baby. If you have pre-school or school age kids, it isn't practical (or necessary, imo) to stay in the house for 6-8 weeks. I was the PP who said I took my baby out after his 1 week appointment. I just did what another PP suggested for their first few weeks - they were in the carrier with a blanket draped around them. Very, very few people were bold enough to ask to take a peek.[/quote]
