When can I take my newborn baby out in public?

As of day one; You do not have to wait for several months to take your child outside the house and get some fresh air together. It’s perfectly fine to do so whenever the weather is fine and you feel like it.

Yet, it’s advisable to avoid going with your little one (who’s less than 8 weeks old) to enclosed, crowded spaces and meeting with sick people and germy friends, thus limiting his exposure to airborne germs that could be harmful to his developing immune system.

P.S. Before taking your baby out in public, make sure his vaccines are all up to date.
