Taking baby to Flower Show

[criscbish]

Ugh I'm just imagining all of the strangers who will try to touch your baby!

I would leave baby at home if possible.

We take M to a big outdoor market on Saturdays that is pretty crowded. No issues so far but I always wear her. Wearing also avoids the weirdos trying to touch her. I say go for it but maybe have an exit strategy in case it's too much.

I would take LO and I would wear her 100% of the time. I also don't have any problems telling people to back off when they invade my personal space. I understand that personal space might be limited, but there is still common curtsey about not touching people.

I agree. I have never had a problem when wearing DS, but people are crazy when he's open air in the stroller. Weirdos.

I don't see any problem with going. We take our DD around everywhere with us. It is important for them to get some real world exposure.

I will never forget...Christmastime my family did a walk at night and my mom was holding DD on her hip for me. These 3 drunk women came up and were like, rubbing her face before I noticed. I may have been not very nice about it, lol. My mom was just in shock I think.

^ This. I took LO out to the Chinese New Year Festival last weekend and there were a lot of people and noise. The carrier made everything easier.

OMG that's insane!

OMG i have always wanted to go to that flower show. i live in the DMV and have never managed to make the trip.

i think you should go. definitely plan to wear LO. i'd use stroller as a last resort if LO gets too fussy at the close confines of the ergo - and definitely make sure you have a cover or light blanket like A&A to throw over the stroller to prevent touching. i know the stroller would be more difficult to maneuver through the crowds.

I say go for it. We take DS a lot of places with us. Obviously I don't let anyone touch him. But he likes going places with us and I figure its good for him to get out and about. Days he is in the house all day I can tell he gets restless. He just loves looking at everything. I say bring LO and enjoy having a good time.
