It felt good to get out of the house! We just go in the early morning or late evening and I watch him for signs he's getting too warm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-take-lo-for-a-walk-how-about-during-summer#post-930604 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 18:27:37 +0000 lemondrop 930604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The day we got home from the hospital, but that was January. In the summer we usually walk around 9pm when it cools down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-take-lo-for-a-walk-how-about-during-summer#post-930596 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 18:15:38 +0000 Espion 930596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookworm: I'm in north Texas right now visiting my sister and we took a walk yesterday with E in the Ergo. We kept it short because it has been crazy hot, but maybe I can convince DH to take an evening walk if it isn't too soggy still. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-take-lo-for-a-walk-how-about-during-summer#post-930592 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 18:13:16 +0000 Bookish 930592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok, y'all convinced me!!! We're gonna take her on her first walk tonight if she eats in time lol! Excited!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-take-lo-for-a-walk-how-about-during-summer#post-930584 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 18:08:54 +0000 Katrocap 930584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First walk was when DS was 3 weeks old in January in Baltimore. I took him out in the car before that, but had a c-section and was worried about doing too much walking myself.</p> <p>I'd say just keep it short, keep LO shaded and have fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-take-lo-for-a-walk-how-about-during-summer#post-930580 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 18:03:32 +0000 Pepper 930580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We took him out at about 4-5 days old. Just a very short walk because I was so sore. We actually took a walk this morning and it was sooo nice. He's almost 3 weeks old and I'm feeling really good physically. We went at 8 am and it was cool enough. Walks are good for both of you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-take-lo-for-a-walk-how-about-during-summer#post-930576 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 17:59:10 +0000 hilsy85 930576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The day we got home from the hospital. I would go in the evening, make sure she's shaded, and don't stay out for too long. But getting outside is good for both o fyou! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-take-lo-for-a-walk-how-about-during-summer#post-930573 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 17:57:44 +0000 Ra 930573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We took him out our first week home. We just waited until dusk when it was a bit cooler. I felt good (only 1st degree tears) but I couldn't walk far without losing energy. We kept them short and sweet but it was nice for us to get out of the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-take-lo-for-a-walk-how-about-during-summer#post-930572 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 17:56:58 +0000 JoJoGirl 930572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The day I got home from the hospital! Just make sure she's out of the sun and don't stay out long if its super hot. Maybe go later in the day when the sun is setting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-take-lo-for-a-walk-how-about-during-summer#post-930544 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 17:33:50 +0000 Bookish 930544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 10 days old today and doing great. I'm feeling pretty decent as well, and am dying to get out of the house. Problem is, it is crazy hot here in Texas in July, so walks for the most part are out of the question. The forecast for the next week, however, has highs in the high 80s/low 90s instead of 99, which means in the evening, it gets down to the low 80s. </p> <p>I'm still a bit nervous about taking her in the heat, though. The sun would be great for getting rid of her remaining jaundice, but I have no idea how to keep her cool, or if I should even have her outdoors for walks this soon. We have a stroller with a sunshade where she can face me, and I think we'd be outside for about 15 mins or so the first time.</p> <p>Tips on taking baby for her first walk? On keeping her cool in the summer? When did you take your LO for a walk outdoors? </p>
