Nope, would not go. Too much too early. I would need more recovery time. Maybe if I was still pregnant and feeling up to it.

How old is the baby?

@Emily 2 months x

If you want to go and you have a sling, I’d wear the baby the whole time and tell anyone who wants to hold her that she’s been unsettled all day and needs to stay with mum. But if you don’t want to go, then it’s fine not to go! You’re being cautious but not over the top.

Hmm, personally I would take baby, unless someone is actively sick its not much different then you going to the store, actually safer probably! With that being said, you could go and just not let people hold her if you are worried, get people to wash hands, bring masks if you would like. It’s your baby and it’s ultimately your decision but it is an exciting time for family too with there being a baby! If you are nursing the immunity you give to your baby is crazy! I know it’s scary being a new parent and wanting to make all the right choices for your baby but try to keep living life as you would and bring baby for the fun adventures!! People do it everyday 🫶

How old is your baby? After 1 month I take baby everywhere

We always took the sling and had him in there. We found this reduced the amount of people asking to hold him etc xx
