Quick random question

[namasteak]

Would you take a 20min walk outside with a newborn if it was 90 degrees outside?

[redheadk]

In the shade, lightly dressed. I'd probably wait until later in the day when it's cooler, though.

Probably not. That sounds pretty hot. I worry about overheating a newborn far more than one being too cold.

Me too.

It was about 85 yesterday when I did with DD in the stroller. Not wearing her, that would have way too damn hot. I just tossed a light A&A blanket over the stroller to keep the sun out of her face.

I would and have. Lightly dressed, with a muslin blanket over his stroller for shade. If I waited for it to be less than 90 degrees in summer, I'd never have gone outside.

[awkwardpenguin]

I'd do it. Babies existed before air conditioning.

If I had to go somewhere, sure.

[carfar]

Yup. I would with enough shade and lightly dressed. No problem.

Debating walking to pick DS1 up or driving...

I would. I probably would not go for long, but I figure in a stroller with the shade the baby will be fine.

[namasteak]

It's 20min there, I could sit in the Ac and nurse/cool off and then 20 min home.

[karinothing]

Yes, but I have zero desire to walk in 90 degrees myself. I am sure the baby would be fine.

I definitely prefer walking to pick the kids up than driving with a newborn. Getting everyone in and out of the car is such a pain in the ass.

[undecidedowl]

Yep, I'd do it.

[namasteak]

I did it! It only took 15 minutes, I transferred DS2 from the swing to the stroller so he had an extra 15min nap and I've been nursing him inside for 10 minutes as we wait for DS1. Fx the walk home goes well too.

[CrazyLucky]

Yes, I would. My kids were born in NC in May and July. They never would have left the house.

[namasteak]

I wore the baby in a linen RS (Ds1 was inthe stroller) on the way home with an ice pack in the extra fabric I roll as neck support. So it was warmer but doable and I feel great!
