Stressful outings

Yes! Have you tried babywearing while you’re out? I still do it even though it’s stressful lol

I go out in the pram but always take a carrier. If he gets too upset I just put him in the carrier and he is happy . I put on songs on my phone and sing to him while we walk it sometimes works . Sometimes it does get stressful

It is very stressful which is why I usually opt to stay home. What’s helped me is having duplicates of necessary items. One for travel and one for home, of course timing is important too. Start small, maybe walk to a park nearby with baby. When you do this you’ll begin realizing all the things you need in that moment. Which will then become your list of things you’ll need in order to travel with baby. In addition to that you’ll begin to figure out how to manage in uncontrolled environments. That is of course assuming one of the stressful parts about trying to go out with baby is not knowing what all you will need and/or having a fussy baby out in public. I realize it’s possible that none of this is helpful information because there can be 1000 other things that causes for a stressful outing. Being a first time mom, for me it was figuring out how to be prepared for any and everything. Once I got that down I was more comfortable traveling with my tiny one.

I’m the same! Sometimes I’ve turned round and gone home. It does get better though, I set little goals in my head and the more I’m venturing out now the better I feel. I think sometimes they can sense we feel anxious, I definitely was anyway, keep going x
