Play groups

I did take my baby to a celebration of life (100 people) 2 hours away at 10 days postpartum. But specific baby things? 7 weeks to like a mommy and baby group thing and movies for mommies.

I should note my child hasn’t gotten sick yet and he’s been in daycare for 9 months too. I expected for him to be always sick but I think bringing him out and about early on really helped build that immunity or whatever. I don’t know how else he hasn’t gotten sick (even when we’ve been sick and there was a norovirus outbreak at his daycare).

8 weeks to a mummy and baby sensory play group. X

12 weeks to baby sensory :)

I didn't start to take her anywhere regularly until 6 months.

I would suggest waiting at least 2 full weeks after her two month vaccine shots (it takes 2 weeks for partial immunity and 8 weeks for full immunity we found out). Found out the hard way. Our little girl got bacterial meningitis after a family gathering (like 8 people and no one held her unless they had rsv vaccine) less than a week after she got her vaccines. Cousin happened to sneeze in her direction. Can’t control everything. Got it from streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria when she was 2.5 months old but she hadn’t had enough time to build immunity against it. Don’t want other parents having to go thru what I did. 2 weeks in pediatric ICU (1 week of a breathing tube because she got pneumonia), and 1 week in acute care going thru withdrawal symptoms from fentanyl that they had to use while she was on a breathing tube.

I haven't taken my baby yet but looking forward to being able to go to groups. He is 9 weeks old and has his first vaccines tomorrow. I wanted to wait until after he has his vaccinations

12weeks. We had travelled to see parents before then on the train but baby groups was 12 weeks. Needed to socialise hahaha

I took my lo first around 10 weeks. She was fine. She didn't have her first cold until months after, so I wouldn't stress too much, personally, as long as they've had their first vaccines. But I know it's easier said than done when they're so little.
But also worth keeping in mind just do what you feel comfortable with - at that early stage, the social spaces are more for the mums than for the babies, I think!
