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?
-
I would go!
-
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.
-
I would go - I think she'd be fine bundled up. It's good to get out!
-
Definitely go! I thought you were going to say it was negative something out, 40's is almost balmy!
-
Go! I would probably baby wear though if you can... That way your body will help keep her warm and comfortable.
-
Ok, I will go!!!
-
@MamaMoose: hmmm does that go over or under my coat? I probably can't wear my puffy coat.
-
@Andrea: I would probably put her under your coat if you have a big enough one.
-
@MamaMoose: I have a maternity wrap that should do. Will experiment!
-
@Andrea: good luck!
-
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.
-
@MamaMoose: lame. I went for 20 min and have cramps again. Guess it is back to confinement. So bored!!!
-
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.
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.
-
@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!
-
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.
-
@MamaMoose: yeah, guess I'll just sit here and browse HB.
-
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
-
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!!
Oh...I just read.
on the cramps. I'm sorry you're still not up to walking, @andrea.

It was about 20 degrees here this morning and we had plans to go to the farmers market but stayed home because I thought it was too cold. But we live in AZ so I don't really have proper winter clothes for me or LO.
on the cramps. I'm sorry you're still not up to walking, @andrea.
