^^ i agree but your going to get alot of womensay they took their baby out right away n didn't get sick but all babies are different my friend is learning the hard way she took her baby out before his shots n he still only a couple weeks old n he has a upper respiratory virus now vomiting blood etc n you risk your baby becoming colic depending on wat time of year u are due n colic babies are not fun they cry for 2-3 days straight

But I don't see what if wrong with bringing a baby out to see your family, as long as you guys are going to be in a house & not going around places.

Bring germ, make sure people wash hands. Stay away from public places with baby. Make sure where your going no one is sick and have them clean well.

I took my daughter out of town when she was about 6weeks old it just messed up her sleep schedule for a couple days after returning home but other than that it didn't effect her much as long as you stop to take him out to feed him and get him out of the seat for a bit he should be fine

I've gone when there 3 weeks. You have to wait see how you feel. It may take you 2-4 weeks to be company sitting in a car after delivery of your first so wait and see.

its usually 6weeks to wait because there new borns its easy for them to catch things like a virus or what not . there ammune system are very fragile. plus they haveny gotten all there shots for certain things so my opinion I would wait, good luck mama:-)
