[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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] I A cant believ how many Drs say this and it gets posted here. That is the strangest thing unless your baby has known health issues. I had a Jan baby and we started taking walks around neighborhood on day one. Baby is bundled into stroller or carrier, no is touching them and they aren't touching anything. We too, baby to Costco first wee, out to lunch twice and dinner. Good lord, staying stuck I. The house for two months is asking for PPD. Get a dr who,practices in this century[/quote] I agreed with you until my DS got RSV. That really was way worse than avoiding people for a few weeks.[/quote] Not the person who posted. yes, but once you have more than one kid you have little germ factories living in your house and really no way to completely protect a new baby from all the germs out there. My nephew was hospitalized with foot and mouth at 5 weeks old thanks to his older brother despite my sister doing everything she could to try to prevent it. Obviously be smart abot taking baby in public and not letting people touch the baby, but in the end you can only do so much. [/quote]
