Do you take your new baby out in the snow?

Anna&Matt

I really need to go walking today but it's snowing. I can cover Owen up for the most part and have a snowsuit that fits but I worry his face gets too cold. Would you take him out in this for an hour or so or not?

I don't live in a cold climate, but I wouldn't take him out for as long as an hour.  15-20 minutes would be the max if you were actually outside the whole time.

Probably not at his age.  Unless he was asleep and you could cover him with a blanket, including his face.  But that's just me.

Also, I wanted to tell you, I have the Paraguard IUD.  I got it at 7 weeks PP.  I had a bit of cramping as she was inserting it and that was it.  I spotted that day and that was my only spotting.  Other than that it's been really good to me.  I have occasional cramping, but I haven't had a PP AF yet, so I have no idea if it's cramping because of the IUD or because my body is gearing up.  I'm also still BFing, so it's a crap shoot to know what the mild cramping is from.  I think you will like it, so good luck!

thanks! I think I'm going to give it a try. I guess I will have my mom come over to babysit so I can go walking today.

Yeah not this early. Definitely leave him with your mom and have some time to yourself! Enjoy your walk.

Definately get out and walk, it'll make you feel much better!  Or maybe take him out with you for 20 minutes twice instead of one long hour walk?

Yeah, not at that age.

I have been doing this but need a longer walk so I can work on building back up to running at some point.

Well then I doubt you'll have to twist your Mom's arm to come over and snuggle that sweet grandbaby of hers   Enjoy your time out!

Yes I took Ryleigh out and she was about 1 month and 1/2 old but only stayed out about 15 o 20 min.  We took snow pictures etc and she has a bunting from babygap.

I didn't.  Olivia makes grunting noises when she's cold or it's windy ha ha.
