Pretty sure we know how this kid will turn out in 20 years.[/quote]

Oh come on, let's not shame a working mother. The event was in town. They were probably away from the baby for 2-3 hours. Bet her mom or a sister is there with her. Most of us think the baby was not born in the last week. After several weeks with a newborn, I'd be happy to get dressed up and out of the house for an evening, too. That leaves a whole lot of hours with the baby.

But do I think they're fame hungry? Sure.[/quote]

It’s not her movie so she wasn’t working[/quote]

Every red carpet appearance is work for her.[/quote]
She wasn’t in the movie, no need to attend[/quote]

You don't seem to grasp how celebrity works.[/quote]

Or you don’t grasp how parenting works[/quote]

DP. What about parenting would preclude someone with a few weeks old baby from going and doing something for a few hours in the afternoon? If she's breastfeeding, she can pump before she leaves and even pump while she's there if necessary (they are rich and can make sure there's a private space available for that). I'm sure they have a nanny. Her family is local and they seem close, so I would also actually assume her mom or sister could stay with the baby for something like this. You take a car to the event, walk the red carpet, take photos, maybe stay for a little bit to socialize, then go home.

This is extremely normal. I was in a mom support group when my baby was this age and several of the women in our group would sometimes leave their babies home (with nannies or family) just to get a couple hours break for mental health reasons. I don't see what the issue is at all.[/quote]

There is no issue. I think posters were mainly confused about the age of the baby. She definitely had not given birth just a couple days before.[/quote]

Sounds like she had the baby 2 weeks before premiere. Clearly work and PR is more important to her than the baby.[/quote]

Do you think anyone who spends 3 or 4 hours away from their baby at that age is a bad mom?

Or does this one just make you mad because she spent that time on a red carpet? If she's gone to a cafe with a friend, gotten her nails done, seen a therapist, etc , would all that be equally upsetting to you?[/quote]

Most parental leave allows 6-12 weeks in US. It’s not to go out and party.[/quote]

And yet you are allowed to leave the house for a few hours.[/quote] and usually with the baby or hubby at home with baby.[/quote]

It is totally normal for a couple to leave their baby with a trusted caregiver for a few hours while they go out for a meal or something. My spouse and I left our baby with my mom around the same age so we could go out for an anniversary dinner. The baby slept pretty much the entire time, I pumped before we went, it was just no big deal.

It can also be beneficial if you've hired a nanny or if a grandparent is around and going to be providing care for the child. It allows the baby to bond with that caregiver in a way they can't if a parent is around. Obviously most time will be spent with mom and dad, but it's perfectly healthy at this age for a baby to spend time with another caregiver for a few hours (also good for mom and dad mental health to get a break and realize they have a village -- it's not healthy for parents to feel totally isolated during this time).[/quote]

Not a newborn who is exclusively breastfeeding and is less than a month old, no. Mom needs to be nearby to feed. Obviously if she’s got him hooked on the bottle already it doesn’t matter. In my case, my daughter never was able to take to a bottle so I quite literally couldn’t go anywhere without her as a newborn until feedings were much more spaced out. [/quote]
