Baby Safety - Outside the house

While taking care of baby inside the house might seem arduous, it is relatively simple outside the house. The simple reason is that you would not be managing too many things all at the same time. A little care would ensure that your little bundle is safe at all times. Here are a few basic rules:
0-4 months:

Too much of outdoor air is not advised for her right now. An hour of walk and exposure to mild sunshine would do. However, in case you need to take her out while shopping or visiting, remember these:
1. If you live in a busy city, do not take her out during the 'peak traffic' hour. Pollution may cause allergies and infections.
2. Do not take her out if the weather is too hot or too cold. Put on suitable clothing for her.
3. If you take her in a car, put her in a baby capsule or chair with her straps on. If you are not driving, sit in the rear seat with her on your lap.
4. While shopping, carry her around in a carrier or in her stroller. Keep all the belts and straps fastened and do not leave it unattended.
5. If you are eating out, ensure that you have taken her feed along. Do not give her outside food - she is not old enough for it yet.
5-8 months:
By now she is big enough for longer outings and short trips of travel.
