We go outside year round since we have great weather. I basically force him outside every morning and every afternoon even if it's just playing in the common area, but generally we'll also go on a long walk and stop at the park. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-time-does-your-lo-spend-outside-each-day#post-983540 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 23:05:44 +0000 Corduroy 983540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO's daycare doesn't take the babies her age outside so I try to spend at least 30 minutes outside with her after work. Sometimes we go to the park and its more like 90 minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-time-does-your-lo-spend-outside-each-day#post-983491 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 22:29:12 +0000 googly-eyes 983491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now that it hasn't been extremely hot we've been going out more...at least an hour a day lately. Today probably more like 2 just walking and being at the park (not in a row.) If we had a yard we would be out even more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-time-does-your-lo-spend-outside-each-day#post-983421 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 21:45:08 +0000 Maysprout 983421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A lot during the summer. Our yard is fenced in so I keep our back door open and her and the dogs wander in and out while I clean up. I have a big window I can watch her from but she usually just plays right by the door drawing with chalk or playing with her doll. We spend a lot of time gardening, at the pool, at the park, playing in the backyard, in friends backyards and taking walks. So in the summer she's probably outdoors as much as indoors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-time-does-your-lo-spend-outside-each-day#post-983416 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 21:43:50 +0000 HLK208 983416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Between 1-3 hours. We go to the park a lot and running/walking everyday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-time-does-your-lo-spend-outside-each-day#post-983409 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 21:40:50 +0000 Mrs. Pen 983409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually at least an hour during these beautiful days of summer... sometimes longer - like when we're out the beach or out biking. </p> <p>In the winter hardly at all.. we have such brutally cold winters especially January and February. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-time-does-your-lo-spend-outside-each-day#post-983356 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 21:18:07 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 983356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know they go outside daily at daycare, but I don't know how long. I try to spend 30-60 minutes outside when he's home with me, more on the weekends. We go on walks, hang out at the park, and play on the patio in the kiddie pool. F loves to be outside! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-time-does-your-lo-spend-outside-each-day#post-982948 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 19:42:11 +0000 Smurfette 982948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure at day care, I think the heat index has be to high lately to take them out. But on the weekend she would live outside if we let her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-time-does-your-lo-spend-outside-each-day#post-982761 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 19:06:03 +0000 regberadaisy 982761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At daycare they usually play outside not sure for how long. When we get home for work I have been alternating playing in the backyard or going on a wagon ride after dinner. If daddy's not working and we're grilling we play outside before dinner too. So I would say at the minimum at least 30 minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-time-does-your-lo-spend-outside-each-day#post-982558 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 18:34:17 +0000 Bao 982558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would typically take her out for at least 30 minutes a day, but lately I feel so tired I can't even get her out. DH took her for a walk this evening though, which was nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-time-does-your-lo-spend-outside-each-day#post-982545 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 18:32:51 +0000 Mommytotwois 982545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not as much as she did before our newest dd was born.....we used to go to the park every single day.. I try to get her to play in the backyard a lot during the day though, and we try to squeeze in the park often. We literally live directly across the street from a big grass field with walking paths, and there is a little playground behind our block, so I don't really know what my excuse is for not getting out more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-time-does-your-lo-spend-outside-each-day#post-982533 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 18:31:00 +0000 luckypenny 982533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At least an hour. Sometimes she's out there for 4 hours. Basically we live at the park </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-time-does-your-lo-spend-outside-each-day#post-982528 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 18:30:16 +0000 Running Elley 982528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E loves being outside. We definitely go outside every day- he'd go crazy if we didn't! </p> <p>We usually go for a walk outside (for about half an hour) and we spend 20-30 minutes just hanging out in the backyard (him playing/watching me on a blanket while I water plants, feed the chickens and then we read a few books together) right before bedtime. So I guess he spends at least an hour outside every day?</p> <p>Today we spent an hour outside in the early afternoon and some days we go to the park, go swimming, etc. </p>
