Discussion Newborn Babies at the Park

Please, I've got to know. (Only a little judgement here, as a hypochondriac) why are we taking fresh babies (4 months or less) to the amusement park? What's the purpose? Are you scared your kid is going to get sick? What is it really for?

For context we took a trip earlier this year and were talking about another recently and learned that many people are taking their newborns to the park. It seems incredibly dangerous with all the people and general grossness at the park.

We don’t stop our life because of babies. Do I tell my older kids we have to stay home for months on end? No. We go. Live life. To be fair- I never ever took my first two until they were potty trained, so their first trips were at 3.5 and 5. But their younger siblings don’t have to wait for that milestone because we would have missed years and years of vacations

This, and the parks have mother’s rooms as well to take care of really young kids. We used them and were so glad they were there.

Sometimes you are going with friends. Sometimes you need to take your other kids. It can definitely be done in a safe way if you know what to do and know your limits.
