Is it ok if......????

Question

If your baby is taking a nap, is it ok to leave them alone to go check the mail?

Answer 1

Why wouldn't it be?

Answer 2

My mailbox is one house down and I would do that without a problem. I would not leave to go anywhere though. Although I always check on my baby I usually don't leave the house. Sometimes I forget what the sun feels like on my skin and its nice to get some fresh air. You could wait until your baby wakes up and put him in the stroller and make it part of a walk. That would be good for both of you!  

Answer 3

Yes.... of course.... that is if you mean the mail box is in your front yard.... and not at the postoffice.  I do lots of my yard work while my son is sleeping.  Just make sure they are sleeping in a safe spot.... such as the crib.  If it were to just check the mail.... then just go.  If you plan on spending some time outside.... use your baby monitors.  When I lay my son done to nap..... and I need to go do a little yard work.... i lock up the front of the house..... set up the monitors...... and go out back and do what I need to do.  I also go back in and check on him every 30 minutes or so.  

Answer 4

it depneds how old your baby is.If he/she is just couple months old i would not leave him/her alone to go to check the mail.If it's a newborn keep your eye on him/her while he/she is napping, but if your kid is like 2 or 3 or older i think it will be safe to run to check the mail really quick.Nothing bad will happen do not worry.

Answer 5

As long as it's sleeping in a safe place I think it'd be fine, just make sure you get back quickly and lock the door behind you. If you have pets inside make sure they aren't in the same room as your baby.

Answer 6

For 30 seconds? I think that's just fine.

Answer 7

It depends.

Do you have to drive to the post office to check the mail?  If the answer to that is yes, then no.  It is not OK to drive anywhere while your baby is home sleeping.

If you have to walk to the end of your driveway then yes, I think it's fine.

Even if you have to walk a short distance down the road I think it's fine as long as you can still see your front door.

I think it's common sense.  Even if you can't see your door, like if you live in an apartment and have to go down a hall and down the stairs I think it's fine.  You're only gone for a few minutes.  Just lock up behind you.

Answer 8

should be as long as they are away from hazzards and you should be back within 2 mins really, hope i helped.
