Bringing 6 week old for a walk?

Feckthis · 2015-09-23 19:41:43

Would I be considered a bad father by people if I was to bring my 6 week old for a walk at this hour with plenty of warmth of course. He isn't well and the walk will put him at ease??

of course not as long as the baby is warm you'll be fine. Did a few late night walks with the baby myself trying to make her go asleep !

Go for it! As long as they are wrapped up snug with a hat

Did you go for a walk in the end? I hope so. A bit of fresh air can do baby (and mum and/ or dad!) the world of good. Sure the Scandinavians swear by it!!

Crikey I'd think you were an excellent dad if you were bringing the baby for a walk. Mine generally napped outside from day 1. "Fresh Air" being good for us was drilled into my brain by parents and grandparents.
