Why would anybody want to take a 2 day old baby outside in January? Really? We took our 2 day old baby HOME from the hospital in January. She was born in January. At the time, that was policy. Two days in the hospital, and you’re outta there unless there’s something wrong. AND then they made us come back because she had jaundice. Do you know how many times we had to take her out? In January? I’m sure she was scarred for life!
I am still waiting to hear the explanation for how humanity survived at all pre-hospital policy. Or pre-hospital.
I’m not saying we ‘should’ take a newborn out to play in the snow here but Good God, they aren’t pieces of glass or something that will crack below room temperature.
Being an upstate NY born guy, I assure the naysayers that newborn kids do survive exposure to even sub zero temps just like we do for the moments between hospital and car. Or a simple step out the door. They do not suddenly contract pnuemonia and die. If they did, humanity would not exist today.
