Can I Take My Newborn Outside?

The idea that babies have to stay inside the house for several weeks after they're born is FALSE. In fact, as long as your baby is healthy, getting some fresh air can be great for mom and baby if you take a few precautions:

• be careful not to overdress or underdress your baby when you leave the house. Your best bet is to put as many layers on her as you're wearing yourself, and keep a blanket handy.
• be sure to keep her out of direct sunlight. Keep him/her fully shaded with clothing or an umbrella.
• while there's no preventing your baby from getting sick, try to stay away from places where you know there are people who are ill.

Make photos with your newborn baby outdoors, upload to the App. Write about your walking experience and the baby's reaction.
