If the kid is sick do not take him out.

Is it possible you could take him to both events? Maybe spend an hour or two at each event? If not, I'd consider which family is less likely to have a chance to see him for awhile after, like if you have relatives visiting from far away with one side it might be best to let them see your baby since they won't likely have an opportunity afterwards. Of course if he's still sick at Christmas it may just be best to stay in and let the kid rest, his health is more important than making everyone else happy. Send each family a video or some pictures of the baby so they can still see him at least.

You can't really make a situation like that an even one anyway, and since the baby is sick, put the baby's needs first. Then the rest of the families will just have to deal with things the way they are. They need to realize that they need to be nice to one another while in the presence of the baby, for the baby's sake.

You should do what you feel is right for your baby. You could go to both houses for a little while but let both families know that the baby is sick and it will be on your terms. Good luck and Merry Christmas!!

OKay this is just my opinion.. I know it is Christmas and all.. BUT if your baby is sick you need to do what is best for your baby. STAY home! Because he'll/she'll only get worse if he/she gets out in the cold. Plus a baby needs all the rest when they are sick and you know if you take the baby out to see family they will constantly want to hold him/her. Good Luck and hope your baby feels better!

Sence the baby is sick, why not have the parents come to your home? what better way than having the excuse the baby is sick and you want him indoors?
IF that's not possible, I guess I'd take the baby to both places. Christmas isn't only an hour is it? I thought it was an all day thing.
It's easy to wrap the baby up nice and warm before taking it outdoors.

Stay home and take care of your sick baby. Don't let anyone push you around when it comes to the health of your child. The two sets of parents need to be reasonable about when they hold their separate celebrations. If the baby is well next year, tell them you will come to one set of parent's house on Christmas morning and one set on Christmas Eve. Let them decide who takes what time. Otherwise, you'll be running yourself ragged every holiday season and won't have any fun at all.

Maybe suggesting that your baby should not be out in the cold therefore if they wish to see the baby, have them come to YOUR home. Insure your understanding of ill will between the two families and suggest specific time frames of which they can come to visit. I'm SURE as adults they'll understand your concern for your baby is of the utmost importance.

Have Christmas as your house and invite everyone there. You have a new family and are starting a new tradition of having Christmas at your home. If they come or not, you have made the effort. Don't make their squabbles your problem and don't get caught in the middle.

Explain to both sides that the baby is sick and you don't want to make the baby sicker just to please them. It is Christmas they should be able to act like adults for the holiday and come and see the baby if they really want to see him/her.

Do what I do. Spend part of the day with your family and the other part of the day with his family. The baby should be ok, just dress him warmly and put a blanket over him when you go outside to keep the air off of him. Merry Christmas.
