A. Your newborn is ready to go outside from day one, with the right clothing and the right protection from sun, wind or rain, baby will not be phased by fresh air (excepting perhaps in the middle of winter). The most important thing here is when YOU are ready, most new mummies feel sore and tired for the first few days and would prefer to stay at home and let people come and visit them but after a few days or as soon as YOU feel like a stroll, you can take baby out. I would always use a sling with a very tiny newborn as I think it makes you both feel more secure and confident, it also stops people from cooing too close or asking for a hold! Stick to parks etc in the very early days as you want to limit exposure to bugs and bacteria (which big shopping centres etc are more likely to breed) and don't let strangers touch baby and you will both thoroughly enjoy the experience. It is a very proud time, taking a new baby out and quite rightly you could feel elated by showing the world your beautiful baby! Enjoy it.NB. We always recommend the babybjorn baby carrier because it has excellent back support for the parent and fantastic head support for a newborn. It gives a secure hold on baby that makes you feel confident having your hands free whilst still giving you the special feel of closeness.
