would you go to a party one to two months after baby is born to meet the baby? i would call it a baby meet and greet?

Question

I would send invites out for the weekend a month ahead of time. would that be weird? would you go to it? I don't want to go through all the effort if no one will show up. please tell me your thoughts?

Answer

I did it 2 weeks after birth (it doesn't have to be that soon) instead of a shower my first 2 kids. Honestly it was great. It focused on the baby and family, not just pampering me and opening presents. It also cut back on individual visitors. The only reason I didn't do it with my 3rd was I had a c section and pp preeclampsia so I physically couldn't manage it, but otherwise I would have done it again.  So I say go for it.

Answer

this is we're doing. we're calling it a look an love. a little more laid back than my baby shower was for my first kiddo.

Answer

What a lovely idea!!!!

Answer

I would go to one if invited, but I wouldn't have one myself because I think that's a good way to overwhelm a baby. I know most people have a different opinion about that though considering daycare is common. :)

Answer

its much better than what happened with my first kid! everyone came over the day after I came home. fried a bunch of chicken, made my house hot, and asked if I was sure I wasnt still pregnant because my belly was still so big. I Didnt invite any of them over. but I felt bad telling everyone to leave. luckily I'm not in that family anymore!

Answer

That’s really common. Some people call them sip and sees.

Answer

Baby’s immune system is still very fragile at that time and I personally would feel scared about all those people handling my baby and coughing and sneezing. I’m not a germophobe but with the flu and RSV, i wouldn’t risk it at one month. Two months is more like it. :)
