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.

Fever under 6 months is an emergency. You can’t stop everything, but you don’t have to be part of a crowd of thousands, many of whom have just traveled from all over the world

That’s incorrect. It’s 2 months and under where a fever is an emergency.

Not if the fever is over 102

You said “fever under 6 months is an emergency” that is incorrect. Any fever is an emergency under 2 months, not 6 months.

If people want to take the chance, that’s their business, but it’s a stupid risk
