Unfortunately, by not allowing children to interact with the outside environment, they are missing some of the benefits of actual interaction. There are many benefits to bringing babies outdoors. The fresh air helps them sleep and does them good. A change of scenery is beneficial for babies and caregivers alike. There is a rejuvenating benefit of experiencing nature, the sun, the wind, the cold.
Babies become accustomed to mastering new environments, and have a chance to be really loud.
It also eradicates any fear of the outdoors that they might have by allowing them to interact with nature. Although there are barriers to bringing babies outside, they can be worked around if the desire of the caregiver is there. Diapers and food can be brought along, as well as a mat for a short nap, if the child desires. Choose the time of day that will be most comfortable for the baby depending on the time of year. It is also important to create a safe outdoor area.
