But, you both getting out for a walk and them napping al fresco could be of real benefit to them as long as they’re suitably wrapped up. The benefits of a baby napping outside in the fresh air have been widely reported recently – a Scandinavian method catching on in the UK. And remember, if you’re using a sling or carrier, your baby will have that wonderful extra source of warmth – your body. In fact, babies sleep better at night if they’ve had some fresh air during the day. The most important thing is that your baby’s body and head are wrapped up well to keep the warmth from escaping.
- So for four days we hired a jeep and got out to explore the island in more detail.
- The dining table is the perfect place for everyone to gather to enjoy time together.
- Witness, for example, Holiday Inn UK advertising a weekend break in a city hotel, complete with cafés, bars and restaurants, as a microadventure.
- St Ives and in particular Porthmeor Beach are for us the ideal holiday location, which is probably why we have now been holidaying annually here for the last 19 years.
- The cupboard with all the beach stuff in was great (you can use the ladders to get from the gate down to the beach which was about a 5ft drop!).
- There is a posse to hunt the bandit down, a little bit of shooting and a riveting poker game between Minnie and the sheriff in which the bandit’s life and her virtue are at stake.

Enter the idea of the 5 to 9 microadventure. We are short of time, of money, of expertise, and more of us live in cities than wild landscapes. Back in 2010 I wrote that microadventures should be “fulfilling, challenging and worthwhile”. Originally I felt that microadventures should be short adventures that were as epic as possible. The days are growing warmer, the evenings longer.

But remember, just as it’s important to layer-up to go outside, you also need to layer down inside. So, if you’re in a shirt, sweater and jacket, your baby might need a vest, sleepsuit, jumper and coat (plus hat and gloves as needed). It’s a good idea to check what you’re wearing and put them in one more layer. Particularly if you’re going to be nipping in and out of houses, shops or cafes. Full-on snowsuits are handy for long periods in freezing cold temperatures, but most of the time, adding and removing layers is the way to go.

The ones that cover their ears and cheeks are a great idea for maximum warmth and adorability. It’s especially important to keep your baby’s head warm in winter, so be sure to dress them in a woolly or insulated hat. NHS advice is to take off a baby’s hat and extra clothing just as soon as you come back indoors or get into a warm car, bus or train.
