We took our 12-week-old out in similar conditions today, if not a bit colder, because she had a hospital appointment and we don't have a car. She was bundled up and I wore her. yes I'd rather be snuggling her indoors but she had an important appointment, these things don't stop when it's cold, you can't stay in all winter! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bundle-up-grr-amp-brr#post-545174 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 18:12:36 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 545174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, I would do the same for a quick trip to the car. It's not like you're taking LO for a walk like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bundle-up-grr-amp-brr#post-545167 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 18:08:41 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 545167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crystbum: 20 degrees and windy? That is very cold. Honestly, yes they can get sick from that unless wearing a warm coat. The cold compromises their immune system and can lead to them getting sick (because a compromised immune system can not fight off a virus as well as a strong one can). My pediatrician said to keep them out of the wind and that wind is more harmful than the actual temp.<br /> Breathing in chilly winds is what leads to respiratory related illnesses.<br /> Was she going in to an infant seat? Because I don't think people realize how hot it can get in one of those and bundling up a baby in a snowsuit can actually be too hot for them.</p> <p>Either way---we all can raise our kids on our without random advice from strangers.<br /> Don't feel guilty, every mom has made an iffy decision now and again, including myself (not saying that was iffy, because I don't know what distance you went or anything about the situation). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bundle-up-grr-amp-brr#post-545166 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 18:07:38 +0000 .twist. 545166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cold's and Flu's are caused by viruses. You can't "catch" them from being cold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bundle-up-grr-amp-brr#post-545164 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 18:06:35 +0000 rattles 545164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't feel badly! She can't safely wear a big, puffy coat in her carseat, and she'd have been exposed to the cold longer if you wrestled it onto her in the parking lot than if you just ran in. It sounds like you had her bundled up well, and he should mind his own business. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bundle-up-grr-amp-brr#post-545159 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 18:03:58 +0000 Lindsay05 545159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have realized that no matter what you do as a mother, someone will always say your doing it wrong. If you had put another layer on her someone would have said, "oh she's dressed too warm". Seems everyone is an expert when it comes to babies. The only expert to your baby is you. You know her best and will make the best decisions for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bundle-up-grr-amp-brr#post-545152 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 18:01:08 +0000 SAHM0811 545152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>augh how annoying. i hate those comments... seriously, you were going from a building to a car not far away... she sounds like she was bundled up just fine. try not to feel guilty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bundle-up-grr-amp-brr#post-545140 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 17:56:56 +0000 Mrs. Bum 545140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Annoyed right now. I was on my way out of a building with LO (7.5 months) in arms. A man coming in stops and says to me, 'You don't have her bundled up good enough. That's how they catch colds. You need to be smart Mom.'</p> <p>Needless to say, I walked out as he was still trying to give me 'advice'. We ran about 10 feet to my car and she was in a sweat suit with a hat on underneath the hoodie that was on her head as well as a blanket wrapped around her!<br /> It was 20 degrees and windy and now I feel bad. But who is he? And I think it was ok. Is it a myth or do they get sick from not being bundled up well enough...?<br /> ~Momma feeling guilty </p>
