Safe to have a party for 1-month-old?

Hi everyone,

We're expecting a baby in December and we're thinking of organising a party for when the baby turns 1 months old. This will likely be at the end of January at an indoors soft play place. We're thinking probably 10 adults, 20 ish kids.

Will it be unsafe for the new born? Just conscious that he will not have had some immunisations yet (eg meningitis) and we've heard stories of newborns catching it when outside before their vaccines.

What do you think?

Thanks!

I wouldn't. If he catches RSV it could land him in hospital.

We had a huge bbq party when our baby was 6 weeks. We'd had an extension the autumn before, lots of family had never visited, as live hours away. We wanted to show off our new home and new baby, and nice to see our 16 month old too.

I had a planned cesarean.

Had about 30 adults and 20 toddlers and children. It was absolutely lovely!!
