My edd is on the first week of Nov. I am just wondering how to bring a 2 months old out to relatives house for new year visiting? I mean like drinking milk, baby being cranky for being outdoor too long. Just so many questions on my head.

Hi my baby was born in dec 2015 and I brought her out for CNY in feb this year when she is two months old. You will have to make some changes to your schedule for sure. Since baby is still two months old, usually they will sleep a lot so assuming your baby is the type who can fall asleep easily and doesn't wake easily to sounds, house visiting should not be too challenging. If you are breastfeeding just have to ask your relatives to lend you one of their rooms? Actually house visiting should be very convenient to bring babies along with because you can find everything in people's house or at least most of the things you need for eg hot water, water to wash baby's butt if he poos, rooms for bf, and bed for diaper change assuming your relatives are ok with it. But I will usually let my baby have her morn naps first before heading out and I try to reach home before her bedtime. You can consider to put baby in a carrier as they tend to sleep easily in a carrier. Or you can time your visits such that they coincide with babies awake time. Just relax and go with the flow. Try not to stay out too long as this may make baby overstimulated and hard to sleep at night. My mom always advises me to bring baby home before sunset or by 7.
