We took Colton out within the week we were home. To see friends and family.

I took Bella out the day we came home from the hospital (5 days old) we went to the park and she's been out of the house almost every day since. I only took her out to where there was a big group of people last weekend. We had to go to a wedding and that was the first time there were LOTS of people around, but only one other person held her. Yesterday I took her to another meeting where lots of people held her and touched her (she is 7 weeks today).

i took callum out the day after i had him and just about everyday since. aslong as they are wrapped up warm etc, you'll be fine.

Well I was confined to the damn hospital for 5 days after having Erica, but when she was 6 days old she had her color and weight check at her pediatricians. When we left the doc we also ran to Safeway to grocery shop since we had no food. The doctor told me tho after that, that you can bring babies out but try to avoid grocery stores ( ), malls, and any places that are busy or dont have good ventilation. Babies will be exposed to some germs no matter what tho... If you wanna go for a walk I'm sure you both will be fine. Just be happy you dont live in California right now, as we've had such bad air quality, we can barely go for walks right now.

We were in hospital for 4 days but were out walking with them when they were 7 days old. It didn't occur to me that taking them out might be in anyway a bad thing, I just figured fresh air would be good for all of us.

I took lily out day after she was born, she loved it all wrapped up in her carrycot, wasnt such a good idea for me, sodded up all my stitches! I think the fresh air is good for them as long as their all wrapped up, my midwife said it was fine too she was more worried about me. lol when people asked how old she was it was a bit of a shock 2 them when I said actually I gave birth yesterday!
