DD is 7 weeks and we just went to lunch at a "less crowded" place on Sunday. I am still nervous and won't go to malls or other stores for a little while longer.

I actually brought DS to a restaurant at 1 week and 2 weeks but they were practically empty (which is why we were OK with it).

We had to take him to look at houses at 5 days old b/c we had to be out of our old house when he was 5 weeks old.

But he was also a spring baby, and last spring was pretty warm too.

DD had her first diner experience yesterday at 19 days old Chat Icon .

Today I ran 3 super-quick errands with her - we were in and out of the stores in under 5 minutes.

I've been bringing DD out since I believe it was the second week...but nothing was crowded. Now, she goes everywhere - but she's 13 1/2 weeks.

We went to a restaurant when she was 3 weeks old. It was quiet and she slept through dinner.

We've been taking DD out since about 3 weeks...but we didn't take her out too often until about a month ago, since she was colicky and having formula allergies...now, at 12 weeks, she goes everywhere with us - shopping, grocery store, dinner at restaurants.

I have teken DD out to relative's houses but no public places yet. Doctor said wait until 8 weeks old. Not sure if I can hold out that long, but I am going to aim for 6 weeks old.

Immediately after giving birth. All they do at that age is sleep so the carrier usually had the top pulled over. DH and I needed our time to have dinners and when we couldn't get a sitter, we'd just bring the baby along!

ditto



Same here-she went out to the Olive Garden at 10 days old, again at 9 weeks, and to the mall with me this weekend (3 months)-she was great, as long as the trip is two hours or less and as long as she is fed and diapered within 1-1.5 hours of when we leave.
