[quote=Anonymous] People who live in countries where winter lasts six months traditionally take their babies out anyway because otherwise they would all have such low vitamin D that they suffer from rickets.  It is foolish to go out for an hour with a baby when it is well below freezing in a climate where it is very likely to be 50° within the next week.  Big kids need to get gross motor activity outside of the house (unless you have a very large house),  but for babies the only benefit is getting a little fresh air. A 20 minute walk would have more than sufficed without getting into frostbite risk. And I say this is someone who regularly babywears  and believes strongly that there is no bad weather, just bad clothing.  There’s just no way to successfully gauge that an infant is getting too cold and turn around and get back to the house in a safe amount of time if you have been walking for 30 minutes already. If I’m out with an infant in very cold weather, we are not staying out very long and I am going to be taking that infant around the block a few times, rather than going for a long walk where I can’t double back and get back into the house quickly.
