Heading outside with jollein products

Yes! Your little one is ready to go outside — but it’s still pretty chilly out there. How are you going to handle that, and what’s smart to bring along? That very first time taking your baby outside is a big experience. And honestly, it can also feel quite nerve-wracking.

when can i take my baby outside?

Of course, you’re eager to show off your brand-new baby to the world during a nice walk. But usually, it’s recommended to wait until the last days of the maternity period before heading outside. Your baby needs to have gained enough weight and be able to regulate their body temperature. And just as importantly, you need rest too. After a few days, you might start to feel the itch to go outside. Still unsure? No stress — your maternity nurse is with you all week and can answer any questions. And then that exciting moment arrives: you’re ready to head out!

don’t feel pressured to go for a walk

First of all: walking is allowed, but not a must. Only go out when you feel ready. Trust your instincts and don’t force it if you’re not sure. Take things slow — both you and your baby need to adjust. Choose a time that suits you and opt for a quiet route, so your baby isn’t overstimulated. Make sure they can see you while you're walking — that’s a special moment you don’t want to miss!

how do i keep my baby warm during a walk?

Of course, you’ll dress your baby warmly with multiple layers and a little hat — but don’t overdo it. Overheating is just as risky as getting too cold. Make sure there are no drafts, and pay extra attention to your baby’s head, where most heat is lost. Use a cozy footmuff in the stroller to help retain warmth and create a snug feeling. After all, you want your newborn to have a peaceful and pleasant stroll.
