My son is 1 week old. I won't take him out of the house unless it's for dr appts or a run to the pharmacy and I can leave the carseat zipped shut and not let anyone see him lol I think the "rule" is 4 weeks? Like, to go the mall just for the hell of it or go to a big store? I hate being cooped up but it is flu season and it's cold. Both my kids are winter babies so they basically stay locked up until spring when they're born lol it sucks!!! When does everyone think it's safe to venture out?? My older son also has Scouts, and I'd like to go but I'm not sure if I should quite yet.
