Indah was 13 days old & we had been invited to a friends birthday dinner in a Large noisy restaurant, she had said you dont have to come as you have a newborn, but I was adamant I was going, I had no problems I breastfed at the table & put her in her pram at about 10pm, I was pretty tired so we left... Indah is fine & will sleep in a portacot anywhere as my Mum & sis have baby sat since I have been back at work & she has slept in a portacot since Feb..

I agree that getting them used to changes earlier is easier...

Good Luck... I too dont wake a baby coz a visitor has popped in & bubs is asleep that's just crazy!
