[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well anyone with children should know and most child caregivers know that anything under 31 degrees is considered dangerous and children shouldn’t be out longer than 15-20 mintues (use your judgement). Anything below 20 is even more dangerous. I’m glad that my families preferred we stayed inside since I have an infant and toddler. We’re in DC as well and around our normal outdoor time (10:30-12:45) it felt like 10 degrees- no thanks; and we still had a blast! Puzzles, paint, crafts, dress up, music— you name it! P.s they still slept good (2.5 & 3 hours). [/quote] PS: I'm praising my nanny, not dumping on you! no need to feel defensive.[/quote] Not at all being defensive. And yes, that is the perk of having a nanny, you set the rules, right? But according to the state(s), what I said is correct, and what school systems in DC, MD and VA follow. An hour + outside with a child in 10 degree weather in my opinion is dumb. When it’s that cold you get creative, arrange play dates or go somewhere else indoors (like an Museum) to prevent cabin fever. [/quote] A young baby doesn't need play dates or museums. Do you think babies in Scandinavia spend all winter indoors? https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-21537988 This is my favorite quote: "When the temperature drops to -15C we always cover the prams with blankets." Minus 15 Centigrade is 5 F.[/quote]
