JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE A BABY DOES NOT MEAN YOU HAVE TO SIT AT HOME. THAT IS NOT THE ONLY THING YOU HAVE TO DO. GO OUT HAVE FUN AS LONG AS YOUR GIVING YOUR CHILD WHAT HE OR SHE NEEDS. . WHO CARES WHAT THE PUBLIC OR ANYONE FOR THAT MATTER THINKS. WE ARE THERE 24/7...AND PLUS BREASTFEEDING IS HARD WORK. SHE PROBABLY DID NEED A BREAK.

Nicole Richie took a mini break from mommyhood this weekend, hitting four parties in two days.
Wearing a gold and diamond "H" necklace, the new mama, 26, and beau Joel Madden kicked off their weekend Saturday at the opening of the Eli Broad Contemporary Art Museum in L.A., where she told Usmagazine.com her newborn daughter "is doing great!"
The two then moved on to Clive Davis' pre-Grammy bash at the Beverly Hilton Hotel — but they didn't stay for long.
"We have to get home!" Madden was overheard telling a friend at 11:40 p.m. "[Harlow] only sleeps three hours at a time. She's with Grandma now, but if she wakes up..."
The next night, Richie and Madden popped by Entertainment Weekly's post-Grammy party at 10:40 p.m.
Richie, wearing a flowy bohemian dress, munched on chicken satay kabobs.
After about an hour, they met up with Madden's bro, Benji, and moved on to the Sony BMG party (band Good Charlotte is under the label) at the Beverly Hills Hilton at 12:10 a.m.
Richie leaned on Madden's shoulder and held his hand as he worked the room.
She sipped on a tiny glass of champagne at 1:12 a.m. before heading home to check up on Harlow at 1:48 a.m.

It's fine if she has a glass of champagne between feedings. I had a drink every once in awhile; I just had to wait long enough for the alchohol to leave my system. It takes about an hour per drink. They eat every 3-4 hours, so give the girl a break. Being a new parent can really wear you down and getting a chance to be around adults can do wonders for a new mom.
I think she would be a worse mom if she hit 4 parties in 4 hours, she did nothing wrong, she probably took a much needed break from the baby.
If you don't have kids, I can see where the narrow-mind set would come into play.

My name is Linda. I am a single girl from the US and believe that the Internet is a quite good place to meet new friends. I would like to meet a man who is out of my race for a serious interracial relationship; so anyone who may be interested can check out my photos on the famous site interracial loves .com, under the name of Helenseeking. See you there
i really want to see Harlow's pics...!!!
i think that she has the right to go out and have a little fun i mean she has been pregnant for nine months. and i think anyone would need a little break and have some fun. i think that she will be a wonderfull mother , and her daughter is very lucky to have a mother so devoted to her. i really hope that things go very well for her and Harlow. shes such a cutie.

NICOLE RICHIE DESERVES TO GO OUT AND HAVE A LITTLE FUN. SHE'S BEEN PREGNET FOR 9 MONTHS. SHE'S LOOKS LIKE A GREAT FIRST TIME MOTHER. NICOLE LOOKS SOO BEAUTIFUL. SHE LOOKS VERY HEALTHY. IM HAPPY FOR HER NEW LIL FAMILY. I CANT WAIT TO SEE WHAT "HARLOW WINTER KATE MADDEN" LOOKS LIKE. I ALREADY KNOW SHE'S THE CUTTEST LITTLE THING!!SO NO ONE BETTER "HATE" ON NICOLE CAUSE SHE WENT OUT THIS WEEKEND SHE REALLY DESERVED IT!!!!
One of the parties they went to Joel was DJing at because the party people said they would give money to his charity.
Another of the parties was for Joel's label.
One party Lionel Richie was performing at so Nicole was supporting her father.
So REALLY they only went to ONE party that wasn't work/family related.
OF COURSE there has to be someone saying something about that last comment the article made. She sipped on champagne.
Actually, having a glass of wine can be good during pregnancy. Do you know that she is breastfeeding? Get over it,,,why do peeps judge so much?! For a 'free' country, we certainly don't live and let live. We try to tell everyone else how they shold be living!
Good for her...she looks great and deserves to egt otu and have a little fun!
If she's drinking alcohol and breastfeeding, that's not good...
Shes just taking a break. Us! needs to lay off a bit becasue i know a newborn baby is really difficult to be patient with and stuff so she deserved a little break. Besides, its technically her job to do go to publicity things like this. SO Us! needs to layoff.
OK if you arent a WOMAN who has GIVEN BIRTH TO A CHILD....and you are critizing her for getting out for a few hours and leaving the baby with her grandma... then you have no business here and you should SHUT THE FUG UP!!!
You people should be ashamed of yourself. Nicole has everyright to get out for a few hours. The baby 's grandmother was with her. Get a grip on your own life. You all are a pain in butt...get a f.... life.
sounds like they were just showing their faces for work/business reasons. That is part of being a parent-providing for your child financially.
Perfect example of someone who wanted to clean their life up and meant it. Im so happy for her! If only the other young women in Hollywood could do the same.
good job nicole and joel!
i think this baby is the best thing that ever happened to them!
wish you the best of luck nicole and joel!
i am so proud of Nicole and Joel every parent needs to get out a little!!!
plus they both look so greatt

omg!!! get off it!! she went out this weekend!!!! Im sure shes doing her best and hes doin his!!! Man!
Leave Nicole Richie alone, she turned her life around once she found she was pregnant & had Harlow. Joel is also doing the same, too.
Wait a minute---four parties in just TWO days??? I'm starting to feel sorry for this baby already....
you people are all ridiculous...its laughable!!! get a life...
Remind me again why she's famous.
parents need space for themselves!! parenthood is extremely hard and sometimes you need some time for yourself to feel relaxed.

What is so un-normal about it?
She went out for a little while. My guess is you don't have kids so therefore it is okay for you to pass judgement.
When you have a kid which I sincerely hope you will be blessed with at least one, trust me you will want a break from the baby, that does not Nicole a bad mother, it makes her human.
3:56 so it would be normal if she had spent the same amount of hours away of she had gone to the grocery store?
A few hours out does not make for a neglectful parent. Going out every night or half the week and staying out til 4am, then we'll talk parenting issues.
Isn't it soooooo obvious US magazine LOVES to twist something so innocent, like a woman getting out to get a little change of scenery into OMG she went to 4 not 3 not 2 but 4 parties! How dare her! She must not care about her newborn at home. Whoever decided to make this is story is a narrowminded twit with no kids-it's obvious!
she probably took a much needed break from the baby.

I'm sorry, but this made me laugh. A "much needed break from the baby." She has been a mother for less than 1 month and she already needs a break.
