When can I take my new baby out in public? I’m afraid he’ll catch a cold—but I need to run errands. What should I do?

It's a general rule of the thumb that your baby has to dress 1 more layer than you so as not to be over or under dressed. Babywear your baby so it makes running errands easier, plus you don't have to take the lift. I used to walk around shopping malls with my baby after doctor appointments since he sleeps so well whenever I babywear him and it's quite easy for me. Just make sure that the malls you go to are baby friendly and that their nursery are clean and hygenic.
