Seeing my friend take his 6 day old baby out and about. smh people are dumb sometimes. And this is…

Noooo ! He's supposed to wait ! Smh 🙁

@xoxoalexusss, yes and he took her out to a restaurant today!

How long are you supposed to wait?

Poor baby 😞

@nia.fish, I've heard two months or until they've had all their vaccines

Oh okay, thank you!

how do you all think single mothers lived their life with a newborn? shut in for weeks? im married but Im basically taking on a single mother role. you cant just avoid germs all the time. babies do need the exposure. my now 2 yr old is amazingly healthy, never sick. and I took her outside right away. I just made sure hands were clean. some of us have to go grocery shopping or still run errands even with a newborn. for me I'll have to do all that, toddler & newborn included. js. people need to have more open minds..

That rule is more for mom than baby. You actually have to take baby out three days later to pediatrician. I personally will stay in due to exposure but to each his own.

@momwife1316, oh I'm not saying that you can't ever go out obviously if you have no choice you have no choice. But like, they aren't careful people so it makes me cringe. It's just a personal choice, I'd want more time for my baby to build up an immune system before I took them out to other people house and stuff.

I took my son out at a week old he was fine and we went out eating as long as you keep people out of their face you are fine... Smh some of you people

@squeakpipsmommi0607, glad y'all were all okay. I'm just saying I wouldn't do it and I think it's kind of dumb, just my opinion.

Its not dumb if you have to go do stuff you have to do it plus sitting cooped up in a house isnt comfortable for anyone -.-

Plus how can they build up and immune system if they arent exposed to anything....

ya if you're not taking precautions or being clean yourself. or letting weirdos touch your kids.. thats a different story. I'm far from dumb, good thing its just your opinion. as mine is mine.

I agree..if you have to take them with you, you have to. waiting months to take them anywhere is ridiculous, they need fresh air and need to be exposed to some germs to build any resistance up. to each their own, but both my kids were out and about with me after a week or so. some people don't have any other option

Thank you !

not just germs but being shut off to the world can contribute to post pardum depression too. people need people!

I ran into a mom who was out with her week old baby that just got out of the nicu. the flu was going around. she said she was lonely and bored. Argh! that is the time to rest and binge watch Netflix.
