is there a rule....?

[AyaChan]

on how long you have to stay in before you can take out a new born baby?

I know it probs sounds like a silly question, but someone said to me the other day your not allowed to take them anywhere for 10 days??

I'm not sure. : / Think it's down to personal preferance and when you feel comfortable enough to take your LO out. Someone will have a good answer though... just not me. xx

there aint a rule its just whenever you feel ready!!
but some people suggest waiting a ween untill you get the hand ov everything,

but there aint a rule (i asked loads of people this question)
plus my aunt took her son to makys & asda as soon as she came out of hospital

I think it's when you feel upto it! The midwife when I left the hospital didn't say anything about not taking her out for a few days etc. I had LO on the Sat night, came home sunday morning and didn't take her out until the tues and that was only a trip in the car to see OHs Nan. Been out alot since, walking etc but taking her out somewhere properly on Thurs It's just when you feel ready really hun.

Lol bless, whenever you like! It could be the same day your baby is born if you felt up to it

 

[StarBound]

Yep as far as i know you can take baby out anytime. My mum took me out as soon as i was born to the supermarket XD she had no food at home as i came late and they had prepared early Good job i slept throughout

 

[AyaChan]

ooooo thats good then, I was dreading being stuck in the house for 10 days.

I want to be able to show my baby girl to the world

xx

 

[halas]

i went out at 5 days bc she didnt fit any thing all her socks just fell of and her clothes were to big 4 her so i had to take her out i think its all down to when your ready

 

[Torz]

no there is no rule that says you have to stay in a certain length of time. If there was then hospitals wouldnt let you out of the hospital for a certan length of time.

I know when my mum had me & my MIL had my OH, they both talk about how mothers were made to put the baby outside in the pram in almost any weather (apart from rain & fog) as soon as they were born.

I'm sure there is no set rule, it is just whenever you feel ready x

 

[Midnight_Fairy]

Anything after 6hrs if the labour went ok and also when you feel ready.

You can take them out whenever you like. A walk would do mum and baby the world of good.

I stayed in hosp 12hrs with my son and then went to a birthing centre.

I had to stay in 72hours with my daughter due to Group B strep.

Honestly I probably won't want anyone to see me after I give birth for a while. I'd be in hiding for at least two weeks lmao

I felt like this but had soo many visitors I was like god I look awful try not to look at me expecially as I have bad roots atm from not having time to get my hair done.

 

[Maddiee]

I was so exhausted all the time for the first two weeks. Her first official outing was to her 2 week checkup. I'm finally getting ontop of the tiredness so hopefully we'll get to go out more now.

 

[rubixcyoob.]

There is not set rule no on my way home my mum and dad had to take me into tesco for formula since I was 17 days early lol.

My friend also had her baby girl out on walks and such within 4 days of the birth just when you feel upto it is when you go out.
