If the window is more than 25-27 degrees, then go for a walk better early in the morning or in the evening. For the first time, the residence time on the street should not exceed 20 minutes, with each subsequent exit it can be increased by 10-15 minutes. Already at a month's age with the baby you can walk twice a day for 1.5-2 hours.
In winter, the first walk should not be sent earlier than two weeks after birth, if weather conditions allow.
