Young parents often ask the question of how to organize walks with a newborn, how to dress a baby and how much time you need to walk with him.? Pediatrician advice on this varies greatly, from being outside as much as possible, at least 6 hours a day, to strict restrictions like: “Start at 20-30 days for 15 minutes, adding a minute every day”. Of course you get lost here..

In fact, it is worth being guided by simple common sense, there are no uniform rules and cannot be.. You live outside the city, in an area with clean air, you have housekeepers who freed you from household chores? Great, you can walk all day, especially if you can put the baby to your chest somewhere in the garden. But if you are torn, not having time to do the necessary, then believe me, the baby will not suffer from the fact that walking with a newborn took one to two hours a day, not eight.

Walking with a newborn has a great advantage: they can be organized on the balcony, or in front of an open window, the main thing is that there are no drafts. Dress the baby as for the street, and lay. Sometimes it is even useful to do so that the child does not get used to sleeping in a constantly rocking stroller and does not require to be rocked.. Such a walk with a newborn is complete for him, and it will help you save time or “walk” if the weather is bad outside.

The second important question is how to dress the baby for walks.. The general rule is this: in the cold season, as many clothes as you wear for a walk yourself, plus a warm winter envelope or blanket. In spring and autumn, as you would dress yourself, plus a light envelope or a thin blanket like a flannelette. Dress your kids as you are in the summer. Remember, overheating for a child is no less dangerous than hypothermia.. If the baby was born prematurely or with a low birth weight, an extra layer of clothing is needed.



Citizens should remember that walking with a newborn along busy roads, in large shopping centers, in courtyards such as " Walking a child is useful only when he is not just “in the air”, he has air at home, but when he is in the fresh air.

Fewer people, more nature - that's what he needs now. In old books on children's health, you can find this poetic advice: " That is, the sun, but not direct, but shining through the leaves. The case for small - to find such a sparsely populated place close to home.
