When a baby is born, parents know that they have a very immature immune system and we fear that someone can spread something to them. That is why we avoid suspicious contacts (cold or sick relatives), we ask whoever wants to take it before washing their hands and avoid getting too close.
Now the doubt, the big question, is knowing how dangerous it is to go outside with the baby. There are people who say that we should not take them out until they have at least a couple of weeks, some say they should not leave until the first vaccines are given, at two months, and there are those who talk about a month. To try to shed some light on this issue, we will answer this question today: When can we take the newborn baby for a walk in the street?
To the street from day one
I just told you that there are those who say days, weeks or months. All excessive, unless the parents are more comfortable without leaving home. A baby can go outside, obviously if the weather is good (it does not rain, it is not terrible cold, it is not unbearable heat, etc.), since the first day. We can go for a walk, run errands, buy, etc.

Come on, by elimination, better go through open areas, without too much pollution, entering some stores or places where the baby will not get more nervous than necessary and where his health is not in danger.
The more people, the worse the environment and the more risk of the child catching some airborne infection, the more noise, the more likely the exit is a nightmare for him.
Going for a walk is beneficial for the baby and the mother
One of the reasons why the daily walk to mothers is recommended is because going out for a while is beneficial for the baby and for the mother. I don't want to say with all this that babies have to go out from the first day. It is not necessary. But if the mother feels like it, if she considers that going out for a little while, it will be good for her not to feel overwhelmed to be at home with the baby all day, both locked up, both of them can go out for a walk.

It relaxes them, they sleep, they see other things, they breathe other airs and also gives them a little light the daylight and sunlight on the skin, which is necessary for the synthesis of vitamin D. Look if you like that later, with the time, the day we do not take them to the street they seem to be more nervous, as if waiting for that walk that breaks a bit with the place, the atmosphere, the moment and the routine of being at home.
