Mybabe

I am in school 2hrs away from my hometown, so I want to take my baby back home so I can be around family I wont have her out around them. I just don't want to be faraway from family my first couple of weeks being a ftm. How soon can I take a baby outside for a car rides seeing it will be cold I live in Illinois??? Are you taking your babies out???

Im in Michigan and due 11-20. We are planning on taking her places for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Our plan is to warm up car really well bundleing her up in layers that can be removed once in the car
And we also found a blanket thingy ( can't remember what its called) to put around her carrier and it zippers right up over her to keep her warm!

My family lives 2 hours away and I plan to go for Thanksgiving. I'm in NC so it probably won't be super cold but I can't stay home alone...my husband is deployed.

I'm staying in for thanksgiving. My family rents a hall because there is so many people and that freaks me out with a newborn. But I will be participating in Christmas

Mybabe

I'm glad I'm not the only one then I will be bundling her up for sure @314babymama1120 I have that caraway cover as well my friend gave it to me that is really going to come in handy!!!

U can take her on car rides and family houses as soon as u want to because those are confined places and since its your car and family you can somewhat control the environment its the crowded public places u want to avoid until shes like 1 months old..make sure your car and family's home is clean and warm for her and have ppl wash there hands and put something clean over there shirts just in case they carried something in on their shirts

Im due a little after thanksgiving hoping she comes before then and if she does... then we plan on taking her out... as long as thee baby is a week old I think you will be ok... just wrap her up and when yu load her to thee car put a blanket over thee car seat pre warm thee car before yu put her in there and yur going from car to house so baby should be fine...

We usually do thanksgiving about an hour and a half away. But ur post reminded me to ask my uncle to do it at his house since he lives less than 5 miles away. If he does it then I'll go if not then I won't.

Mybabe
