When it's hot outside....

Lindsey Lu Lu

Hello there CF moms!  I have a 4 week old and was wanting some ideas on what to do when it's hot outside.  I feel like I've been stuck inside for most of the past 4 weeks and I'm sure my little one is starting to feel the same way.

 

Any suggestions?

walk the mall, or IKEA, go the Library for story time, I meet my husband for lunch at his office.  At 4 weeks you can do anything you want to do, in a couple months the baby will have more say.  Go to a museum if thats your taste.  

Go outside in the evenings when it is cooler.  I carry DD to the curb to get the mail just to take her out during the day.  If you are in the Orlando area, Orlando health has some great programs.  a Breastfeeding TEA for babies 0-8 weeks you can weigh them before and after eating to see how much they are getting and ask questions, very helpful for me.  They also have a twice a month program called Moms meeting moms for babies 0-6 months. Both of these programs are FREE.  They do have a mommy and me program that is $45 for i think 3x a month for 3 months.  

here is the link for more info call the Breastfeeding Education Center https://orlandohealth.com/winniepalmerhospital/WomensSpecialties/Supportfornewmothers.aspx?pid=4146  (mac not clicky)

 you don't have to BF to participate.

Thanks for all the great suggestions.  Especially the Moms meeting Moms.  I'll definitely look into that.

i felt the same way....i didnt "go out" till my son was almost 7 weeks old...going to the mailbox was our favorite! LOL

but strolls around the neighbor hood are good, when the temp cools in evening  or jsut take a drive, or go to park and stroll him
