We had so much fun at our special Baby Cafe in the park this week, alongside the World Human Milk Donation Day event, in collaboration with Interior Health, La Leche League Canada, and Tickleberry's on the Beach.

We shared a post earlier this year all about formal and informal breast milk donation, so we will link that in the comments - have a read of it if you’d like more information and some insight into why awareness days for milk donation matter.

For this week’s Baby Cafe recap, let’s talk about why getting outside with your baby is so important.

Being outside is good for everyone in the family!
If you're feeling stressed, one of the best things you can do is go outside into nature. Studies have shown that stress levels fall dramatically when outside. It can also help improve metabolism, digestion, and immune function.

Being outside helps with nighttime sleep too! Light has a profound effect on our ability to fall asleep and stay asleep. This is true for your little one too. Light is one of the main things that governs our circadian rhythm (our internal body clock). It cues our endocrine system to produce the right hormones at the right time.

Due to the use of artificial lights in recent history, our circadian rhythms have got a little out of whack. To improve sleep for you and your kids, get outside in the morning sun, spend as much time outside of buildings in natural daylight as you can, and incorporate lots of physical activity too. The combination of physical tiredness, mental stimulation throughout the day, and light affecting the production of wake/sleep hormones should help maximise sleep duration and quality at night.

The natural world can provide your child with an abundance of new inputs and stimuli, from the sounds of the breeze and the birds, to the sights of swaying leaves and pretty flowers. Nature is a natural playground, with new and exciting challenges to help develop your littles one's gross and fine motor skills.

Did you know? Children who get outside a lot are less likely to be short sighted.

When you go outside, try to find places to explore other than just the playground. Go on a forest adventure or walk the river bank. Let your little one out of their stroller to feel the grass between their toes!

Where’s your favourite spot outside to take your baby? Let us know in the comments 👇🏼
