This newborn should be protected from overheating. Time to eleven in the morning until five in the evening, when the sun is particularly active, not suitable for walking.

Kid should dress warmly as the street, put in a wheelchair, and open a window for five minutes. Gradually, the time of "walking" in the open window increases from five minutes to half an hour later, you can already go out. Thus, if the outside temperature is below zero, a walk on the street should be reduced to a minimum. You should periodically check whether the child is not frozen by controlling the temperature of his nose and cheeks. If the thermometer has dropped below ten degrees, from a walk with the baby should be discarded and replaced it with a stay in the room with the windows open.

At older ages, walks will be given the opportunity to explore the world, but children under the age of five months on the street, usually just sleep.
