You can take your newborn out to a restaurant when they are 6 weeks old. The best way to ensure that you’re taking all the necessary precautions for your baby is by following these guidelines from the CDC, and we recommend checking with them before heading out on any outings. It’s important not to go too long without eating, so if you do decide to head out while breastfeeding or bottle feeding, it’s advisable that you bring along breastmilk or formula in case there isn’t an appropriate place for pumping available at the venue of choice.
