Would you take a 2 week old to a family BBQ?
We were invited to a my brother's BBQ today. He lives very close to us and it's just going to be our immediate family as well as my sis-in-law's immediate family. Maybe around 15 people, all adults.
I have been stuck in the house for 2 weeks and would love to get out for an hour or so.
thoughts? I don't know what to do.

With DD #1 I probably would have but also would have been very nervous. With DD #2 however, I had her out and about at 1 week old. LOL. Poor second baby.

I would. Sounds like all people that would be coming over to meet the baby anyway.

Re: Would you take a 2 week old to a family BBQ?
I'm not sure I would personally, but I'm the overly cautious type. I would not want my 2 week old passed around and might find it awkward telling people no if they asked to hold him/her. Do what makes you feel comfortable though!

Would you take a 2 week old to a family BBQ?
Absolutely! As long as you make sure no one has the flu or anything! I had my first out at a family party at 2 weeks old. I wouldn't take a 2 week old to a crowded mall and pass him around, but a backyard BBQ with close family, definitely! Enjoy it!

If I was feeling up to it, then yes. If I was worried about anyone touching DC, I would wear baby. If I didn't mind if people held DC, I would bring a blanket and a pump of purel

Re: Would you take a 2 week old to a family BBQ?
I would, but I'd probably keep the baby in my sling or their infant seat to keep them from passed around.

Would you take a 2 week old to a family BBQ?
Yes, but I am extremely laid back and had DS at a friend's memorial day BBQ, with about 30 people, when he was 3 weeks old. Only the people I knew well were allowed to hold him, and he spent most of the time sleeping in his rock 'n play sleeper in her living room anyway.

Re: Would you take a 2 week old to a family BBQ?
Go and enjoy! The fresh air will do all of you some good.
I would probably keep her in the carrier though, if possible.
DS was at a huge family party at 8 days old, but people were totally respectful and kept the passing to a minimum - just us, grandma and great grandma.

Re: Would you take a 2 week old to a family BBQ?
Yes. In fact, my dd was 1 week old when fam came to our house for a memorial day BBQ. Just take the proper precautions and your baby will be ok IMO.
