How long should I wait to take baby out into the world?

im ftm 34 weeks pregnant n I'm just wondering when my baby girl gets here how long should I wait to take her out of the house. I don't want her to catch a cold or get sick. My fiancé is trying to convince me to stay home for at least two months with her when she's born and not leave the house unless we have doctors appointments. Please help!

I was out walking around when my baby was 2 days old. I don't believe in waiting to take your baby outside.

I was out 4 days later at the beach with my first. My parents were visiting so we did as much as we could in 3 weeks

I'm a ftm my game plan Is to wait at least 2 weeks so we can get to know each other before I start shoving strange faces at her...and she will hopefully be building up some good immunity via breast milk by then.
