When was the first time you took your baby to the mall?

I wanted to go shopping this weekend. I hope it is ok to take my 6 week old. He hasn't had his immunization shots yet.

Would you take your 6 week old to the mall?

I took her out by myself the second I could drive (2 weeks). She was at the mall at 3weeks definitely. At 1 week I went to BRU and Target

I did not but my baby was a NICU baby born during the RSV season. I received a lot of warnings at the hospital and then from my ped. I decided that the mall could wait. It is all a matter of what you are comfortable with.

Re: When was the first time you took your baby to the mall?

Probably not. DD was a summer baby and we didn't take her into public places until she was at least 8 weeks old...sometimes you can't avoid it, but we were able to.

I did not wait and took them out at 2 weeks(grocery store, out to dinner etc) They ended up getting RSV at 12 weeks when I would have taken them out anyway-I actually think they may have gotten it from my brother. In older children and adults it presents as a cough and he had one the last day he was here-they got sick the next week.

I waited until DS was 8 weeks to take him to the mall. He was a winter baby though.

As soon as humanly possible. I also scouted out the best places to breast feed. My vote goes to the ladies lounge by the children's department at Nordstrom in Roosevelt Field.

DD was born a little early and it was RSV season so we were told to keep her away from the mall and very crowded places until at least 10-12 weeks, which we did.

Re: When was the first time you took your baby to the mall?

8 weeks was the first time Kailey was out in public but that was for a very short mall trip to get Santa pics on a weekday.

But she was born in cold weather and cold season so maybe I would have taaken her out sooner if it was wamer, who knows.

A couple of weeks old but now no way. I am not a paranoid person but with this swine flu, I do not take her in stores.

Honestly, not before two months.

I have a good friend whose baby had RSV and needed a spinal tap... yes, a spinal tap... at only a few weeks old... not worth it IMO so we stayed home.
