Question

my baby girl is due near the end of october, and my SIL is having her wedding in december, would that be safe to bring such a young baby to such a big event? i know they want her there but im so worried about flu/rsv/ etc,

Answer

I think she'll be fine. She's probably going to be sleeping the majority of the time.

Answer

Do what feels right for you. I tend to be on less cautious side. My son didnt get his first runny nose until he was over a year old. I took him everywhere and exposed hum to dirt and germs. At 1 month old he would be on a blankrt in the grass/dirt while I gardened barefooted and barehanded. He is 3 now - is always dirty from putsode play and we have the 5 secomd rule. He is never sick :)

Answer

I probably wouldn’t. But that’s just my personal comfort level. But they are coming out with that new RSV antibody treatment for newborns! I’m planning on getting my baby that. I’m also going to get a new Covid booster soon to hopefully pass along some of that protection as well.

Answer

It’s definitely a risk since it’ll be sick season and she’ll be so young, but it’s ultimately up to you. If you do decide to go, I would definitely baby wear the whole time to discourage people from trying to touch/hold her and to provide a bit of a physical barrier between her and other people.

Answer

It’s up to you. I took my 8 week old on an airplane. In 2021. 
Obviously I didn’t let strangers touch her, but everything was fine. 
We took her out in public places shortly after her birth which was the end of October. I personally don’t feel you have to be a shut in just because you have a new baby. 
Everything is your choice!!

Answer

For my family, we always waited until they were 3 months old or older, which is old enough to be able to take.fever/pain management meds before taking them anywhere but you have to figure out what works for your family
