When do you start going out with your baby? List of items and points to note
From daily outings such as health checkups and shopping, to events such as going out with your baby, such as going out with your granddad or grandma, or going out with your family during the outing season, the number of opportunities to go out with your baby will increase as you age.
Here's a list of items you should bring in your outing bag, as well as what items are useful!
When is it OK to go out with your baby?
Once a baby is born, you will be regularly undergoing "infant health checkups" by the local government. The first one-month checkup you will often be your first time going out.
Therefore, it is often thought that going out from one month old is OK, but this does not necessarily mean that the ban is completely lifted.
We recommend that you start by taking a short walk near your home, and then gradually expanding your range of outings and time. Observe your baby's condition to make sure there are no changes, and don't overdo it and gradually get used to it.
Newborn babies still can't regulate their temperature well. Avoid going out in hot summer or cold winter, and avoid crowds as you are weak in the immunity to viruses and other conditions.
What are the essentials when going out?
When going out with your baby, it is necessary to prepare for a variety of occasions. Here is a list of things you should always carry in your bag to avoid panic in an emergency.
-
Diapers and wipes
Have plenty of space and prepare plenty. It is recommended to keep it in a diaper pouch, as it does not cause the diaper to swell in your bag, making it easy to find and take out quickly. -
Changing clothes and tops
It can get dirty when breastfeeding or changing diapers, so it's a good idea to have about 1-2 sets of clothes available for change of clothes on top and bottom. It would be a good idea to also wear a thin jacket to protect against air conditioning. -
Towels, gauze, etc.
It is used frequently to wipe off sweat, drool, milk, etc. Have a few prepared. -
Plastic bag
Use it when bringing used diapers, dirty clothes, towels, etc. home. -
Milk set
Baby bottles and powdered milk are essential items when going out. Stick-type powdered milk, which is divided into small portions of one serving, is convenient. Put hot water in a water bottle with heat retention and bring it with you. -
Maternal and Child Health Handbook, Insurance Card, Medical Card, etc.
You may suddenly need to go to the hospital, so make sure you always carry it with you just in case. -
Baby carrier
When going out, you should leave your hands as free as possible. Use baby carriers and carrier straps. When using a stroller, it is safer to have a baby carrier ready for strolling or passing through places where there is no elevator.
What is it useful to have when you go out?
There are many things that can be useful depending on the baby's age and age, and depending on the situation. I've listed some of the most representative ones.
-
Set of baby food, meal aprons, spoons, etc.
Once you've graduated from milk, prepare everything you need to feed baby food instead of a milk set before heading out. -
Favorite toys, picture books, sweets, etc.
If you are riding a vehicle, or if you are experiencing a longer waiting time, such as in a hospital or restaurant, your baby may get bored of it. In such cases, it's helpful to have toys and picture books to help you feel at ease. It might be good to have a small snack too. -
Breastfeeding cape
Even if you can't find a nursing room while you're out and about, it's safe to have a nursing cape that covers the whole baby and hides your breasts when breastfeeding. It is not bulky and light, so it is a good idea to have one when going out with a baby during breastfeeding. -
Stylish
A bib is useful to have to prevent your clothes from getting dirty with drool. It is also useful for rejuvenating milk and preventing spills. Some items can catch spills, so it's a good idea to prepare them as needed. -
Sunscreen
Baby's skin is thin and has insufficient barrier function, so sunscreen is essential for summer outings. Use a baby product that is less stressful on your skin.
How do you carry your belongings that tend to increase?
When you go out with your baby, you end up having to load more luggage. There are a variety of mother's bags on sale these days, so make use of them.
Mother's bags come in types such as tote bags, backpacks, and shoulder bags, making them attractive for their storage capacity and functionality. It has plenty of pockets and dividers, making it easy to organize and take out what you want.
A pouch is convenient for baby carriers!
If you are going out with a baby carrier, there are products with a waist belt and pouch, so it is also recommended to put frequently used items such as smartphones, handkerchiefs, and sterilization sheets there.
The BELK-S series waist pouch is removable, so it can be attached to either the left or right side. The double zipper makes it easy to open and close when attached to either the left or right side, and you can also adjust the position of the zipper so that the metal fittings do not hit your baby's feet. It is convenient because it is large enough to store valuables such as wallets, smartphones, and keys, as well as gauze, handkerchiefs, pacifiers, sleeping hoods, and sterilization sheets. You can also remove it from the belt and use it as an inner bag.
What baby carrier is great for going out?
Many people use baby carriers and strollers when going out.
Strollers are easy to use and popular, allowing you to free your baby from the weight of your baby, but the carriers are free to both hands and you don't have to worry about steps or worry about space, and are excellent in terms of mobility.
It is also recommended to use both depending on the situation.
When going out in a stroller, it may be helpful to have a baby carrier as a secondary bag.
Many senior mothers choose a compact and lightweight baby carrier, such as a sling, because it is easy to carry around.
Hip seat carriers are attractive because they are stable and easy to feel less weight, but because they have a solid structure, they are bulky, which has the disadvantage of being in the way when not in use.
Use it according to your purpose and situation when you are out.
It's easy to go out in a hug♪
