out and about with baby

At Levi’s two week check-up last Tuesday, the pediatrician gave us the green light to begin taking him out in public. His first stop? The supermarket! (JB and I still need to eat!) Because we fed and changed him before leaving the house, Levi slept for most of our shopping trip. He was so well behaved!

This weekend Levi experienced Costco for the first time. When he got a bit fussy towards the end, we popped a pacifier in his mouth and he conked out. A trip to Target was also on the agenda that day, but first we had to bring Levi home to feed and change him. Eventually I hope to be able to tend to Levi’s needs while out and about but right now the process of feeding/changing my little man can take up to 45 minutes and typically results in breast milk dripped all over me and him. Neither of us are ready to take the boob show on the road.

How did you handle those first outings with a newborn? How old was your baby when you began running errands with him?
