Staying sane

Lots of baby groups and play centres. My youngest is 19months old and with her tantrums found it harder to get to get out as much this winter which I hate
I felt the same this summer, I live in a hot country so right now it’s fun but from may to October I couldn’t stayed outside with baby without it being dangerous… What helped was going to mommy and babies activities, Idk if there isn’t around you, but honestly it helped me a lot ! Maybe check around Facebook for mums groups in your area ? Or sensory activities for babies ? 🤔🤔 you aren’t alone for sure !!
I have been feeling the same, but I discovered soft play, and it's the best thing ever. At the one I go to, sometimes there is an extra single slide, along with instruments and a parachute. It's much quieter during the day because the older children are at school.
I feel the same way 😪 the mom friends that i have either live very far or they just say no to everything , i feel horrible and depressed, very guilty that i am not enjoying motherhood at all cause i just simply feel alone
Go to the library or free museums. Meet other moms at the library during the activities for babies.
You are not failing don’t say that. Feel free to chill and relax you’re doing the most incredible job in the world raising a little baby. I would say definitely get out of the house and maybe walk around the mall, go to a museum, the local library.
Facebook has some mom groups to join Try and find one in your city They usually have 1-2 day get togethers meet ups at parks play areas or malls
We’re all crazy 🫠
How cold is it where you live? We go out in freezing temperatures for short amounts of time. Have you checked to see if your local libraries have infant/toddler events? Also seeing if there are any mama/baby/kid playgroups in your area.
I take my son out as much as possible between winter weather. We go to the mall, play in the playground, we have dance parties in the living room, we read a lot, sensory bins, mess free painting I cannot wait for spring!
1st winter with the baby? Be prepped for the blues ! You gotta try and move, maybe indoor malls walks ? Got to find a place to go to atleast 2/3 times a week to get you out. Being on the phone will feel sedentary.
