Fresh air is necessary for the baby from the first days of life. Surely walks and a young mother will also please, because it is so nice to be on the street after imprisonment in a maternity hospital, chat with friends who have babies, or make new acquaintances with friends of happiness. How to dress a baby to visit the street? How long should walks with a newborn last in the fall, and is the weather important?
When and how to start walking?
In autumn, you should focus not on the calendar, but on the weather outside. In September-October, if the window is warm and sunny, you can go outside five days after the long-awaited discharge from the hospital. If the window is gloomy and dank, it makes sense to sit at home for a week or even wait for more favorable weather. Even with warm air and the absence of wind, the first walks with a newborn in the autumn are short. It makes sense to start from 20 minutes. If it’s inconvenient for you to take out the stroller for such a short time, try to make the child breathe in his arms or use the balcony of his apartment for walking. Whether the kid likes to be outdoors, you will understand right away. If the baby is sleeping or behaving calmly on the street, increase the duration of walks day after day.
How to dress a baby?
The choice of clothes for the child is another urgent problem for parents. As the top layer, overalls or a sleeping envelope, selected according to the season, are suitable. A thin synthetic winterizer will be enough for the beginning of autumn, but for the last month, preference should be given to natural fur, and do not forget to additionally warm the baby with a blanket (of course, if necessary). Walking time with a newborn also affects the choice of clothes. During the day you can dress the child a little cooler than in the evening. Thin and flannel vests, cotton sliders, as well as a knitted or terry suit from above are required as underwear. There should also be at least two hats - an ordinary bonnet and a knitted or woolen top. If it’s cool outside, do not forget about warm socks or booties. It is possible to determine whether you have dressed the baby correctly upon arrival: the arms and legs of the baby should be warm, but there should be no sweat.
When and how best to go for a walk?
Before leaving the child is to feed and change clothes. If the baby is naughty, this is not a reason to refuse to visit the street. Walking with a newborn in the fall allows you to roll the stroller in a convenient rhythm, which means that you have a great opportunity to put the raging baby to sleep. Be sure to bring a raincoat with you to transport your child. It is also advisable to choose a stroller for autumn with a deep and dense hood, a cape for legs is also required. A newborn child will love walking for sure if you visit cozy parks and squares with him, trying to avoid crowded streets. Do not forget that it is not at all necessary to always walk in a stroller, a sling or a carrying backpack will diversify your joint activities with your baby. In order for walks with a newborn in the autumn to bring maximum joy, mom should think about herself. Choose comfortable shoes and clothes, if you wish, you can take a drink and some snack with you, as well as an interesting book in case you get tired of walking and decide to relax on the bench while the child is sleeping.
