I think it just depends on what your family's always done. My family (grandmothers, mothers, aunts) would've hog-tied me if they'd heard I had that baby out in public sooner than 2 weeks. I was told it had to do with a baby's immune system needing to be fully developed, and let's face it, people are filthy.
Sorry: when should be went.

Well, I always thought the dirtiest place to take them was the doctor's office! And, my family didn't live anywhere near us when I had my first baby, so there was no chance for them to hogtie me! ;)
I had to go out and get groceries and stuff, so I went. :)

Prayers up for the baby to be found and the kidnapper arrested, charged and convicted.
This Lubbock mother may be fortunate to be alive, if the kidnapper is a nutcase like that Lisa Montgomery a few years ago. She made friends with a pregnant woman, pretending to be interested in buying a dog of the kind the pregnant woman's family was breeding, then eventually went to their house and killed the woman, did a C-section on her and stole the baby because she had been lying to her husband about being pregnant. The baby survived.
Not long before that one, there was a similar case in Oklahoma where a nutjob befriended a pregnant woman and then killed her to get the baby - but she was only 6 months pregnant and the baby died. The perp took the dead baby to the hospital, saying it was hers.
BREAKING NEWS on this story.
Our local news just said the mother have been taken in for polygraph test. They found out she had another child about a year ago who died of a staph infection.
Sooooooooooooooo this changes things.....
Oh, no. Let us know what you hear. Doesn't sound good for the baby.

Sheesh, maybe it's better to hope the baby was safely kidnapped by someone desparate to be a parent!
I hate these stories. Prayers for the baby's safety bump.
If you are a teenage mother or on medicaid, it is not unusual to have a nurse come to the house. They will usually visit to help with parenting skills, etc. Since there has been mention of a father being involved, I would have to guess she is young and single.
Thanks for clearing that up!
Oh, this is not good.
Baby now safe. Perps in custody. I love happy endings!!
Police said the infant was found alone in a car seat beneath a carport in 104-degree weather. It was not clear how long she had been outside before authorities arrived. No other details at this time. This I learned in an email from my daughter.
