Can I bring a newborn to the park, 2 days after she is born?

Answer 1

It is not recommended. "I personally" would not.

Here is an excert from an article;

"If you deliver in a hospital, your baby's first trip "out" will be when he or she is brought home. So inevitably, all babies will have been "out" within the first few days of life. It's easy, especially as a first time parent, to want to show your baby off to everyone. However, that's not best for your baby. It is especially important to protect babies from germs in the first few months of life, when their immune systems are especially delicate."

Answer 2

If she's healthy enough and you feel up to a bit of fresh air then go for it (if it's a resonable day), obviously keep her cosy with feet and head covered and a blanket but don't try to overstretch yourself too soon. What was once a short stroll, just 2 days after giving birth sometimes feels like a marathon. Just go slowly and enjoy your little stroll. Soo exciting when you first go out with your new addition...enjoy.

Answer 3

Sure, as long as the baby is dressed appropriately (don't want her to get too hot or too cold) and you keep her out of the direct hot sunlight, and don't let people touch her. Fresh air never hurt anyone. :)

When my sons were born, their pediatrician recommended keeping my older son inside (not going to enclosed public places) for a minimum of six weeks because he was born at the end of flu season. When my second son was born, she said we could take him out as soon as we felt comfortable. (He was born in July.) We actually stopped at Target on the way home from the hospital to get formula, lol. Of course, he was in his stroller and we had the shade pulled up, so nobody could touch him, sneeze on him, etc., and he was fine.

Answer 4

You can, yes. Basically you just want to make sure people don't touch her, and keep her away from enclosed spaces where germs get trapped in the air (i.e. don't bring her into a park restaurant or bathroom). You might also want to buy stroller netting to place over your infant stroller. It serves to keep bugs out, and also to keep people's hands away from the baby. There's a link to one below, for $7.99.

Finally, just be careful of the temperature outside. When my son was 5 days old or so, he very quickly overheated when we were outside one afternoon. We rushed him home to the A/C, and he was fine, but my husband and I had been scarred to death!!! (Gives me anxiety just remembering it!!!)

Good luck.

Answer 5

I don't see why not. I took one of my newborns to Costco at that age and the other one to a BBQ when she was 1 day old.

Answer 6

Why would you want to?
I can't imagine wanting to go to the park 2 days post-partum, and I had pretty easy births and recoveries!
Two days post-partum you'll be wanting to rest and recover. You'll probably be bleeding like a stuck pig and you'll be leaking breastmilk and sleep deprived. If it were me, I'd stay home and be comfortable and bond with baby instead of being out in public.

Answer 7

can you ...Yes. Should you...No. Why? because a park is full of kids adults and bugs. Each carrying their own special little present for your new bundle of joy. Your baby needs to be older so that her immune system is working better.

Congrats on the baby

Answer 8

Yes,but doctors suggest for the first few months that you don't take your baby to very many public places,do to all the germs & people.

Answer 9

no! they're to sensitive to the sun the heat everything jus wait until the baby at leas tgets it's shot which would be when the baby is 2 month

Answer 10

why not it's totally up to you. i dont see what the problem is, so long as you are caring for the child properly such as clothing and blankets feeding etc. hope you arent going to put the child on a swing :)
