How long after you have a baby should you stay home and not go any where.

You can go where ever you want as soon as you feel up to it. The first week after delivery you should take it easy and eat well and get as much rest as possible as to help establish a good milk supply and help your body start to recoup from having a child. The only reason to stay home would be like during the winter months when sickness is at its highest, like RSV. This will benefit the baby. Good luck!
