Take her on a walk! Shes more likely to get sick from the germs he brings home than you going on a walk! Also cold air does not make you get a cold! He sounds super controlling!

A cold is caused by a virus not by being outside… there’s no real reason u can’t take her for a walk…

Fresh air, sunlight and a little bit of germs is good for her. My spouse is a germaphobe so when he isnt around I tried to expose my son to a decent amount of germs as possible, it will help in the long run. U cant protect them from everything. Maybe get him something to read. Might help
Nope. Go for a damn walk. Seriously! This guy is losing his mind. I find that odd af!
He sounds nutty. I took my baby out right after having her in January

Her immune system will be so weak if she doesn’t go outside or anywhere at all. My eldest went to the store with me at 3 days old and my youngest was 4 days when we went to the store. Your husband is controlling you with these “excuses” and your daughter will be so much worse if you don’t let her outside. If she gets a cold she will be okay, if she gets a little warm that’s fine, it she gets dirty she will get cleaned. That immune system needs yo be strengthened big time.

He sounds like an ass. Go outside. You don’t need his say on every damn thing, especially when you are staying at home and it sounds like he isn’t. This just sounds like he is incredibly controlling and abusive.
Um, just go out. You don’t need his permission.

Being outside is very healthy for child of any age! Take that baby outside!!! The more your baby is exposed to germs the better her immune system will be.

I would take the baby outside anyway. His opiniom matters but so does yours. The baby cant catch a cold from cold temperatures because the common cold is a virus. Also youre highly unlikely to catch the flu just going outside for a walk. Either of you are much more likely to bring it home from the store or work and pass it to the baby that way.

Go for a walk! Fresh air is great for the LO. Plus, being outside with all the new sights and sounds will help LO sleep just a little bit better.
Besides, it is good to get baby exposed to germs. Maybe not the flu, but as long as hands are clean and strangers stay out of her face there is no worry about her getting sick.
Yes, sick babies suck, but having an immune system that can fight off bugs when she starts going to daycare or a babysitter? Not a bad thing at all.

Sweets, that’s not your daddy and he doesn’t own you nor does he get to tell you where you can and can’t walk with your child. Tell him to piss up a tree and go get some fresh air. If your child is going to get sick, she will. Even cooped up inside. Trust me.

Wow. My babies always just went. I did a lot of baby wearing. DS4 went to an outdoor high school football game in Maryland at 10 days old/ Oct 30th He was in a carrier I actually zipped up my coat ahe was warm and had a hat on. All 4 of my boys were born “in flu season” we were out side we were at the grocery store we went to the mall. Sorry but your husband is nuts.

Ok I’m going to play devil’s advocate for the father and say that maybe he’s not trying to be controlling, but perhaps he’s dealing with anxiety? I struggled with PPA a lot with my firstborn, granted she had a lot of health issues which made things worse, but I had so much anxiety taking her anywhere. If they catch a nasty bug at that age it could lead to hospitalization, since they’re still so small and frail. Now I’m not saying feed into his fears, you should definitely start small by taking her for walks around the neighborhood etc. But perhaps your husband needs to see a psychiatrist to address all this fear and anxiety he’s dealing with

I took mine out and about frequently when she was 3 weeks or so. Yes, she got sick, however, those little colds and such also helped to build her immune system. Go for the walk. You’re a grown woman, you don’t need permission from someone else to take your child on a walk or to the store. If you do, please speak with a women’s group about emotional abuse. This is unhealthy on so many levels. Hugs to you mama.

He needs to compromise. I disagree with many of the comments, that child is just as much his as she is yours so undermining him without coming to a compromise and communicating isn’t healthy either. There is a way to work it out, but you must both be willing to give a little. Not just you, he has to loosen up too.

Take her outside anyway. Whats he gonna do? Complain to his fanily or Facebook status? Its insane. And by the way… you cant get a cold from it being cold out. Pediatricians have been telling me this for 10 years and its an outdated claim. You get a runny nose thats it. Go for a walk when he aint there. Dont gotta keep it a secret but while hes a work he cant control what you do, and since hes controlling you so much right now, id suggest really tallying up the rest of his behavior, because i can almost guarantee this is not the only thing.

my baby was 1 week old (january) when I began taking her on walks. not only was I supposed to be walking because of my c section, but she cried ALL THE TIME except (imagine this) when we were walking! lol we eventually were able to dance and get thru the crying… butttt girl. you have to do what’s best for you. fresh air is good for baby. i love that dad is being protective and trying his best, but when he goes to doc appmt next with you- have him ask this specific question about this- your doctor will be shocked i’m sure lol. flu season hasn’t even started this year, it’s not too cold or hot at the right time of the day right now… and again fresh air is so important. you can argue that the air quality in the house isn’t good enough for your babes lungs LOL; honestly it’s sweet but that’s insane to hinder you from your wellness right now especially. we even took my girl to the store for a few things within the first few weeks (i was not happy about it but my guy was trying to make sure i wasn’t too cooped up) … i think it’s great you’re so respectful but this is an inappropriate boundary he is making for your child and it’s not healthy… there’s a book called “13 things mentally strong parents don’t do” and one of the chapters discusses healthy parents NOT putting their fears on their children… we don’t want your kiddo afraid of germs or to go play outside, right? so this needs to be addressed- while there are plenty of things to be worried about as parents, his concerns aren’t warranted for 30 minute walks a few times a day with no germ interaction etc. even at 3 months, babies are already building their immune system! as far as too hot- you can use an ergo baby 360 mesh carrier, or even her stroller and an attachable fan… during summer i wrap an ice pack in muslin and put it under my girls butt to keep her cool and give her a cold milk (for you guys obviously formula or breastmilk)… try to gently remind him you need to be taken care of first in order to care for her and this is important for YOUR well being… as are mommy play dates. try to get into a music play class or something and share with him all the studies show how much music helps babies develop socially, emotionally and physically- it’ll give you some mom friends and that is SO nice when we’re at home 24/7

Fresh air will do baby wonders. You too. Sounds like hubby is a worrier. You can’t let his anxiety become yours.
Baby needs that air to the lungs. So do you. Surely you also want to do the proud parent walk where people you know ask to have a peek and tell you how beautiful they are and how well you’re looking.
Keeping a baby in and not allowing baby any fresh air is potentially more detrimental. They can’t build up any sort of immune system without it.
Baby needs stimulation. You need to burn off some energy and hubby needs to talk to someone. X

This whole post is ridiculous. Unless the child has an immune disorder there is absolutely no reason to keep her secluded from other people. I dont care how hot it is it is not too hot for a baby to be outside for 20-30 minutes for some fresh air. You do NOT catch a cold from weather, you get sick from bacteria and viruses so even if it’s snowing she CANNOT get sick from being outside in the cold. Your husband obviously has no clue how illnesses work and the fact that you let him tell you what to do is concerning…

It’s good for newborns to have time outside and be in the sunlight for short amount of time. And 3 months is plenty old enough. Baby doesn’t need to be couped up inside she needs fresh air and she isn’t going to get sick as long as you don’t let people touch her and be around her on your walks. Use a car seat/stroller cover

Newborns need vitamin D also it’s not health for a child to stay inside all the time and it’s horrible for your brain as well. New mothers already face issues while balancing their hormones, depriving the body of the sun can cause depression.

It’s bad for her health keeping her inside all the time. She needs vitamin d which she can only get from the sun. She also needs to be exposed to the weather and other people so her immune system has a chance to grow. If he is gonna be this overprotective all through her childhood, you may as well not send her to school in 5 years time cos she’s gonna get sick every time she walks through the gates.
