Had our newborn with us to a party. And since this was our first kid everyone wanted to hold him. We were passing him around like a joint. Usually he’d wake up easily. But that day nothing would wake him up. We probably could have chucked him over the table without any trouble.
Depends on weight, but usually 6 months or older. Around the 12lb or ~5.4kg mark.
If they get sick before that…just have to keep fluids up, deal with the crying, and if the fever goes over a specific temp you gotta take them to the hospital.
Our 4 month old got a bad fever and we called the nurse hotline for our hospital to see the next steps and they said “we don’t have any appointments open, take him to the ER” and we were flabbergasted because that’s the LAST place you should take a sick baby. We pushed but they wouldn’t budge.
So we took our kid to the ER, the ER nurse and doc flipped their shit and said why we brought him there, told them so-and-so nurse on the hotline said to and that there weren’t any appointments. They took the baby immediately just to get him out of the ER and did whatever they could(I was at work, momma was at home still on maternity leave, so don’t have details), but the ER doc asked for the name of the nurse on the hotline and we’re guessing he said some shit up the chain.
I’m presuming it was a “meet up and have dinner with your friends and show them yoir new baby” rather than a “lets do weed and beer and hangout with all our mutual friends while listening to loud music” party, but your heart is in the right place

How newborn? Because for that first few weeks you absolutely should not be trying to expose a newborn to every possible disease.
4 months old? Not super new. Definitely after puerperal bed.
From what age are babies allowed to take painkillers again?
