plis people,give this couple a break. to you nicole and keith,congratulation on your new baby girl. you will do grate. be strong and stay blessed.

Actually, a lot of people did criticize Christina and she wasn’t seen out as soon.

I also have to ask…Do you honestly think Nicole should be chained to her baby 24 hours a day?

And why isn’t anyone criticizing Keith for going out and leaving his daughter at home?

Valerie- I think Dezza was just trying to point out that a baby’s love for its parents is unconditional, in otherwords it will love its parents no matter what. She probably didn’t choose the best example, I agree, but I’m pretty sure she wasn’t in any way advocating child abuse!

Teralyn- For all we know, Nicole DOES only go out a couple of times a week or for only a few hours each week. Paparazzi photos don’t tell us how long she stays out when she goes out, or even how often she goes out. For all we know, the media is making it look like she goes out more often than she does (by, for example, taking several photos of her out and about and then releasing them all at once, and/or claiming that she was out and about several days in a row when in fact she was out and about multiple times, for just a few minutes each, in ONE day).

Keep in mind that most of Nicole’s recent outings have been to get coffee, which probably takes literally 10 minutes at the most. Her yoga classes probably don’t last more than an hour at most. As for the movie…The average movie is about 2 to 2 1/2 hours long. Even that isn’t THAT long of a time away from the baby.

And how do we know that Nicole is not bonding with Sunday. Like other posters have pointed out, Sunday probably still sleeps most of the time. How are you going to bond with a baby who’s asleep? Also, some other commentors have pointed out that perhaps Nicole has left Sunday only reluctantly…I.E. her mother and sister have had to shoo her and Keith out of the house for a break. Not to mention the fact that, as other posters have stated, she’s obviously breastfeeding, so she can’t be away from Sunday for more than maybe three hours at the very most (and BTW, from what I’ve heard, breastfeeding is a wonderful way to bond with your baby!).

Finally, I want to point out that there are 24 hours in a day. Nicole and Keith are probably gone for two of those hours at the most. That leaves them 22 hours to use for bonding with Sunday!

I don’t get it? I have had infertility treatments now for 2 years since losing our 3rd little boy..As did Nicole lose a couple pregnancy’s I heart and has been said struggled for this baby? Why would you have the baby and then be leaving her so much. And yes I have 2 other children here that are 6 and 4 that I leave a little now. But not all that much. I love being with my children that I worked hard to have. SO I’m sorry I understand needing a break a couple times a week for a couple hours after a month or so. But wouldn’t you want to bond with your baby?

I don’t understand your comment, Dezza-

you say “Babies are programmed to form an emotional bond with their parents. Seriously, you could lock them in a cupboard and they would still love you.”
What??? This is really not a good thing to say or even joke about.
You’re joking about locking a baby in a cupboard- that would be abusive and is not a joking matter. What are you saying??????

Anyway, this is totally unrelated to the Nicole, Keith, baby blog here- the baby is with her family (I think) and they are going out and about for some short breaks. As long as the baby is with family, it appears to be a wonderful thing! I have read that Nicole is very close to her mother and sister.

If I were Keith and Nicole, I would NEVER take that baby out! They would be swarmed by photographers, etc. They aren’t allowed to be “normal” parents – don’t judge!

Sarah- i agree!! i think people are jelous of the fact that these two gorgeous people are able to go out and spend time together and than return home to Sunday who is no doubt being looked after by grandparents who i bet had to shoo Nic and Keith out of the house ‘go on you guys,take time out,see a movie,grab a coffee,relax’ grandparents LOVE to spend time with grandkids. Oh and for all of u who are saying keith shouldnt have done the concert…i bet the concert was scheduled before Nic even fell pregnant. AND if Keith had cancelled the show than i bet people would be on here slating him for that. Read the people article….see how coffee stops are now coffee runs….

Wow, don’t you people have anything better to do than judge people? Nicole Kidman can never seem to do anything right in your mind.

It isn’t like she is neglecting her baby, she is going out to see a film and grab a coffee with her husband. What is wrong with that? I sense a hint of jealousy and resentfulness from you.

I didn’t see anybody complaining when Christina Aguilera was out clubbing in the early days of having her son.

Get a grip, people!

For those of us who aren’t celebrity mothers, we HAD to leave the house days after our babies came home – that is to take them to the pediatrician. I had a c section and took my son to the dr. maybe 6 days after he was born. My ped. actually scolded me and told me I really needed to bring him in sooner (but I was in the hospital for 4 days- I had a different ped. in the hospital). That was my first day “out” and it felt great. My mom was with me, and we ate out afterwards, did a little shopping, etc. Even with a c section, I felt great (I was on pain meds for 3 weeks). I got out every day or every other day because being in the house all day is hard (I would take my son with me – even for a ride in the car). I think it’s great for a new mother to get back on her feet so quickly – if she’s up to it. And I’ve heard if you’re healthy and had an easy delivery and feel good, you can start working out again at 2 weeks. If you’re not a mother, you have no idea. If you are and chose to stay in the house, that is your choice, too. I think everyone is being a little harsh on Keith and Nicole. I remember feeling “no different” after I had my baby. My baby was an addition to our lives, but we did not give up ourselves in the process.
