How cold is too cold?

In your opinion, how cold is too cold for a walk outside?  What do you use as your guideline?

I just purchased the plastic cover for the bassinet stroller and I'm getting sick of being in the house. DD is 5 weeks old and just over 10 pounds.

We went out already a bunch of times using blankets, etc when it was warmer - the weather here is so crazy, we've had 50+ degrees and 17 degree days in the same week.

Honestly we go out regardless.  I took both kids for a walk when it was 6 degrees.  My pedi said as long as they are bundled well that it was fine.  I figure babies are good at letting us know when they are uncomfortable, and DS just sleeps the whole time.

At the last drs appt, pedi recommended going for a walk in the days following because they forecast milder weather - that was about 40 degrees.  I probably wouldn't go out if it were below 40ish, but like PP said, if baby is bundled you should be good to go.

We go out anytime I feel like it but I baby wear her so she's kept really warm up against my body.

I guess I should have mentioned that's what we do too, which I think makes a difference.

I live in California, i think the lowest we've gone this year is in the 30's

But I still bundle her up pretty good

I just wouldn't go out if it was looking like you'd be uncomfortable, even bundled up, or that your body would still feel really cold underneath jackets and scarves

If you;re okay bundled, baby really should be fine

We don't usually go for walks but when we do it's usually above 20 degrees.

our pedi just told us today as long as it's above freezing and she's bundled up....

We go out 20f or above. I would invest in a microwaveable hot pack you can wrap on a blanket and place on Los feet for the really cold days, we also have a cozy cover over our carrier. He sleeps the whole time and loves his walks.

We've taken LO for walks being worn in my coat since she was 5 days old. The first time it was -1C (30F) and sunny, and she was pretty comfortable. I've had her out in my coat as cold as -10C (14F), and she slept the whole time, her nose got a bit cold, but that was all. We had her out once in her car seat on a sleigh, but after 20 min I had to carry her the rest of the way bc she was getting cold. If I waited til above freezing I'd be housebound all winter. I would just try it and see how your LO does.
