But we live in AZ so I don't really have proper winter clothes for me or LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-your-newborn-for-a-walk-in-cold-weather#post-501724 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 13:15:49 +0000 mediagirl 501724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not too cold at all! If it's ok for you, I think it's okay for her. Bundle her up good and enjoy a nice brisk walk!!</p> <p>Oh...I just read. :( on the cramps. I'm sorry you're still not up to walking, @andrea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-your-newborn-for-a-walk-in-cold-weather#post-501722 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 13:12:48 +0000 oliviaoblivia 501722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took LO out yesterday (she's 5days old) in Toronto. She was well bundled and it went well. We were out for maybe 30 mins to Starbucks and a lap around the park. She did great, but I'm a little sore now :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-your-newborn-for-a-walk-in-cold-weather#post-501664 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 11:55:57 +0000 Andrea 501664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: yeah, guess I'll just sit here and browse HB. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-your-newborn-for-a-walk-in-cold-weather#post-501663 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 11:54:55 +0000 matador84 501663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends if there is wind or not. When windy and cold here, no. But this morning it was snowy and we ran to store with no wind (not literally run :-)) and it was beautiful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-your-newborn-for-a-walk-in-cold-weather#post-501657 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 11:53:00 +0000 MamaMoose 501657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: oh boo! I know the feeling of being mentally ready to get back to normal life but your body is just not cooperating! Don't push too hard, you'll get there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-your-newborn-for-a-walk-in-cold-weather#post-501655 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 11:52:40 +0000 MaisyMay 501655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took LO out in her stroller on a cold day, put her in a onesie, then a sleeper, and wrapped a blanket around her, plus draped her carseat canopy over everything. </p> <p>When I wore her one night when it was around 40, I had her in a onesie, sleeper, and swaddled her, then slipped her into her carrier. She had on two hats too. I was able to zip my jacket around our lower half and just wrapped a scarf around us at the top. She almost felt too warm once we were home again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-your-newborn-for-a-walk-in-cold-weather#post-501644 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 11:40:35 +0000 Andrea 501644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: lame. I went for 20 min and have cramps again. Guess it is back to confinement. So bored!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-your-newborn-for-a-walk-in-cold-weather#post-501526 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 10:05:14 +0000 LazyLightning 501526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>depends on how cold. if above 15 degrees or so, I don't see why not. it's like 10 below here now so probably not - esp with the colder windchill, dont think i could bundle a kid in enough blankets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-your-newborn-for-a-walk-in-cold-weather#post-501512 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 09:52:34 +0000 MamaMoose 501512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-your-newborn-for-a-walk-in-cold-weather#post-501510 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 09:51:45 +0000 Andrea 501510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: I have a maternity wrap that should do. Will experiment! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-your-newborn-for-a-walk-in-cold-weather#post-501508 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 09:50:17 +0000 MamaMoose 501508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: I would probably put her under your coat if you have a big enough one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-your-newborn-for-a-walk-in-cold-weather#post-501502 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 09:45:37 +0000 Andrea 501502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: hmmm does that go over or under my coat? I probably can't wear my puffy coat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-your-newborn-for-a-walk-in-cold-weather#post-501498 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 09:44:07 +0000 Andrea 501498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok, I will go!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-your-newborn-for-a-walk-in-cold-weather#post-501496 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 09:42:45 +0000 MamaMoose 501496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Go! I would probably baby wear though if you can... That way your body will help keep her warm and comfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-your-newborn-for-a-walk-in-cold-weather#post-501488 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 09:32:02 +0000 Trailmix 501488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely go! I thought you were going to say it was negative something out, 40's is almost balmy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-your-newborn-for-a-walk-in-cold-weather#post-501485 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 09:30:31 +0000 BlueWolverine 501485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go - I think she'd be fine bundled up. It's good to get out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-your-newborn-for-a-walk-in-cold-weather#post-501483 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 09:27:07 +0000 London Mama 501483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How old is your LO? I would also go, I was born close to the arctic circle in December and I was just fine! Just dress her up well and keep out of the wind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-your-newborn-for-a-walk-in-cold-weather#post-501482 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 09:24:06 +0000 Weagle 501482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-your-newborn-for-a-walk-in-cold-weather#post-501479 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 09:18:22 +0000 Andrea 501479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is currently in the low to mid 40's in NY. I'm getting a little stir crazy and it would be nice to take a walk but I'm a bit scared to expose the baby to the cold even though I would bundle her up a lot. Is it too early? </p>
