Should I take newborn out to Christmas market?

Thinking of taking newborn (5 weeks old) baby put to Christmas market but temperature is 2 degrees. She is just coming out of a viral infection which she got from her brother and has been unwell since last 6-7 days.
We have a toddler who goes to nursery and keeps getting illnesses which she gets in turn.
Family is saying taking her out at this time and cold weather is bad idea but I feel Tempted to visit the Christmas market and come back in an hour.
Looking for some opinions on this.

If she's still not well after the viral infection then no I probably wouldn't take her.

If she’s not well I probably wouldn’t, but once she’s better then I see no problem with taking her as long as she’s wrapped up warm!

In general it would be nice but not while she's unwell. Give it another couple of days.

If it’s just an hour and she’s wrapped up warm I would. Assuming the market is outside a bit of fresh air would be good for her.

She's breastfed and just today has been better and less snotty and less coughing for her. I am going to stay home this weekend and see how she is over next weekend. Christmas market is outdoors. I haven't been able to go out much, DH has been taking DS out to see festivities and shopping etc.

I don't think it's a good idea - aside from the cold weather and the fact that she's been ill, how will you take her? A busy Christmas market isn't ideal for a pushchair/pram and I don't think it would be very nice for her in a sling with people pushing and crowding .

It's not very crowded. I took her to see the doctor and to supermarket this week on a cold day in pushchair and wrapping her warm but will skip the Christmas market this week.
