First walk with a newborn

Loving mother wants to provide, to do everything so that her child was the most healthy and most happy. I want nothing to forget, not to make a mistake and do the right things... But in the first days after discharge from the hospital the newly-made mother, as a rule, is still too little knowledge and experience in dealing with the baby, but because of the inevitable confusion, anxiety and numerous questions. It is enough if the baby eats? Why cry? How is it put to sleep? And what to do with walking? Try to understand, to begin with such an important question as the first walk of the newborn.



If the baby was born in the summer


If the baby was born in the summer, everything is quite simple. To walk you from the early days of returning from the hospital, of course, if the window is no heavy rain or wind.





The very first outing it is recommended to limit 20-25 minutes. Then, gradually, you can increase the duration of your stay in the fresh air, bringing it to the end of the second week of life of a baby up to 2 hours. But first walk, first acquaintance with nature and the world should not be too long.



The most important rule walking with a newborn is to dress your child for the weather (not overheating and not allow to freeze) and take all that may be needed by the baby outside the house. For any model of wheelchairs, usually with a special bag where you can put all necessary. First walk, because it lasts very long, does not require a large number of things.



It is better to take with you a bottle of water (if you topiwale baby in the heat), clean pacifier (if you use the nipples), wet wipes, preferably with a disinfectant-impregnated (for your hands, in case you accidentally stained), cheesecloth or special mosquito canopy on the stroller and a set of clothes for the baby if you prefer to walk without a diaper.


Summer first walk of the newborn should be either in the morning (until 11 am) or evening, after 16 hours. After all, with 11 to 16, as is well known, is the hottest weather, and kids at this time, it is better to be cool and not under the scorching rays of the sun. Better if the first walk, the kid will take place immediately after the next feeding - then you can be sure that he will not cry, and will not require a chest on the street.





Walk with your child born in winter


The first walk with a child born in the winter, is carried out at a temperature of not lower than -5.





Time. It is best to go for fresh air in a quiet, windless weather for 10-15 minutes. For the first acquaintance with the world, the baby will be quite enough this time.



The most comfortable clothing walking will warm the envelope in which the baby will be able to move legs and arms, when not sleeping. If the baby falls asleep (and the children frost fall asleep instantly), it is better to cover it additionally, you will have to take for a ride blanket or rug.


Do not overdo it with the amount of clothing and blankets! The desire to wrap your baby, such a fragile and vulnerable, of course, because it gives parents the illusion that they protect the baby. Actually, wraps fraught with undesirable consequences. Overheating leads to increased perspiration, which deprives the body of a child he needed moisture. This means, there is a risk of dehydration. In addition, when overheating is slowing down the development of immunity.




Dressing your baby for a walk, remember an important rule on child wear one layer of clothing more than yourself. For example, at a temperature of -10 and windy weather, you can wear a diaper, body, fleece overalls, thick woolen blouse, pants and socks, and then put the baby in a cozy fur envelope. The crown can be put on a thin cap, and then a woolen cap.





If you are worried that the baby can freezeperiodically sopite his nose. If the tip of the nose is warm, baby warm enough, if cool means, first walk a newborn must come to an end. I want to warn, however, that this characteristic is not an absolute indicator, but still very helpful.


In winter it is important that the child began to cry out for a walk, gasping for cool air. Therefore, the first walk of the newborn must be done after feeding. No teats, bottles and spare clothes, as mothers year old children to take with you is not necessary. If the baby will be in a cheerful mood, after a moment's contemplation of the sky, trees and birds he calmly fall asleep, and you can breathe fresh air and relax a bit. Well, if you all remember, we can only wish you good walks!
