Are you mommies leaving the house?

Question

With my first I had a late fall baby, we were starting to coop up for winter and we really didn’t leave the house for a month or 2 besides pediatrician appointments and like 1 trip to Target. 
But now it’s gorgeous out and I have a busy toddler, and hubby and I are craving sushi. Are you mommies going out and about? I’m all about “do what works for you and your family” but then I feel guilty even thinking about taking baby out. Just wanting to know what other mommies are doing!!

Answer

Yes, I NEED to get out or my two year old will go nuts. We’ve been to a lot of places. I just wear the baby or keep her in the stroller. We don’t stay out for too long, but it helps to get a change of scenery.

Answer

Every single day. I cannot stay at the house all the time id lose my mind!

Answer

We go out almost daily - mostly to the park/playground or quick trips to target/grocery store. I hate being cooped up all day at home and my two year old goes crazy when he’s stuck at home all day too. We went out with my first in NYC (we lived there) after he was  born and he was super healthy so I’m not super concerned. I keep the little one in a wrap most places and don’t let people too close. Both pediatricians said it was fine as long as we were washing our hands and not passing the baby around.

Answer

Ive been going out since she was like 4 days old. I just can’t stay home.

Answer

To stay in with this new baby. I keep her in stroller with cover over her. She’s 10 days old.

Answer

We’ve been going out since week 1! Doctor suggested going to dinner or walk around the mall. She said to avoid crowds of people you know like church or community buildings. People you know you h the baby, strangers will leave you alone. 
We’ve been everywhere and the weather has been great!

Answer

I've been going out from the moment my stitches were comfortable enough for me to actually walk. 2 weeks PP now and I've been to my parents 3 times, both lots of grandparents once each, the grocery store about 4 times and been down to the town shopping twice + a Riverside stroll. Early next week I plan on going to the GPs and to go see a friend. He was born jaundice and I was advised to get him out in the sunshine as much as possible!

Answer

After leaving the hospital and while my husband was on paternity leave I loved getting out on walks and going out to eat.  She likes the “soft roar” of a restaurant.  It was great having my husbands help when I did.
Now we’re having issues with Gemma’s formula and she cries a lot so being “out” isn’t as enjoyable.  Once we get her on the right formula we will be less of “shut ins” lol.  It sucks but it won’t last forever.

Answer

Yes my LO is 2 weeks and we’ve been going out since about a week. She normally stays in her carseat or on me or her father if we’re out. We have an almost 2 year old so keeping him inside would be horrible for everyone. We also took him out at about 2 weeks and he’s never hd a serious illness. Do what works for you though. Your the mom and Mommy knows best!

Answer

With my first I didn't leave the house because he was born in winter and it was cold.  With my newborn since it's not cold I can't keep my 4 year old in the house, so we have been out the house and she 2 weeks old and 2 days. I just keep her cover up and in her stroller and carseat. You have to do what works for your family it's hard being in the house with other kids.
