When did you leave the house with your newborn?

Question

My girl was born on 7/24. I requested early discharge so I was sent home Wednesday (7/25) we did leave the house twice for her doctors appointment on Friday and to go to target for a breast pump supply that I needed. 
I’m starting to go stir crazy. I have left the house without my fiancé but I miss going out together. I miss going to dinner and going for walks but I don’t wanna push it yet. 
When did you guys start stepping out?

Answer

The day we left the hospital we went out to lunch at Applebee's and then hit up Target to pick up a few things for dinner. I've never locked myself away just because I had/have a baby haha we continued all normal habits and routines. At 1 week when my family came to town, she was at the beach, the San Diego Zoo, many restaurants, the mall, etc. She even went on a ghost walk lol at 4 weeks, my MIL came to visit and she went back to the zoo, an MLB game, more restaurants, a 2 hour drove up to Los Angeles for a day, etc. If you're being smart and using common sense, there's no reason to keep everyone home. That's how you develop post partum depression.
