Would you get a bus with a 3 week old?!

If I didnt have a 3 year old I would probably avoid going out with the 3 week old if they had recently been sick.

But if you have a 3 year old and they are at somw kind of childcare settings they are already a walking germ so they will likely be the 1st person your newborn catches anything from.

I used the buses a lot as lived in London but my eldest had things like swimming lessons and beavers. Not sure what age my youngest was. Initially I’d try and get a lift off my dad but more because it was winter and dark.

You should honestly still be taking it easy. Uterine prolapse is a real thing. I’d wait a couple more weeks.

I did from a few days old. Me and my partner don’t drive and only a few people in our families drive so that’s just our life. I honestly loved getting the bus with her as a newborn tho she would sleep the whole journey guaranteed and I could put my headphones on and get some peace whilst feeling like a normal human not sat indoors. I know majority wouldn’t do that tho so if you’re not comfortable with it then that’s perfectly fine and just say that to her x

My girl is nearly 7 months old and since the day we left the hospital we have been out for walks everyday
First bus was around 6 days old ish and the first train about a 7/8 days old
I don’t drive and when my partner was working, I still had to get things done

She has always loved being out and about. Getting fresh air is good for me and her.
She has never been sick too, just make sure they are not too cold and not too hot.

I didn’t really have a choice tbh. We had hospital appointments and we don’t drive so we had to use the bus.

We did at a week old with our first because he had a hospital appointment to check his heart murmur

take the carrier so you can strap the baby to you.
