At what age should I start taking my child to gym daycare?

I don’t think there’s a “best age” or when you should.

Send your child if you want/need to and you trust who’s watching your child.

I’ve never sent my children to daycare because I never go anywhere 😂 but if I needed to I would.

If daycares scare you or make you nervous see if someone else can watch your baby ❤️

I need to hit a gym 😂🤦🏾‍♀️

This is a great question. I’m looking for answers as well. I haven’t really been to the gym since I found out I was pregnant and I used to go almost every day. I plan on going after I give birth and wondered the same. I know before I have seen tiny babies in car seats in there so I’m thinking whenever we are comfortable doing so.

Well I'd say 3 months but I think they allow 6weeks and up

It depends what the daycare allows

Personally, I couldn’t do it. I don’t feel like they are qualified to take care of babies idk that’s just me. I found a gym open late so I started going when my kids were asleep and my husband was home.

I used to work at a gym that had day care…I wouldn’t send my kid there period.

I worked front desk and We had staff in and out of there like crazy. They would get any one to fill in and they even had me cover quite often even though I hadn’t done the necessary classes/ requirements.

Maybe that was just my gym but I’ll just say do your best to be very aware of who is watching your child!

I would scope out the gym first see who would be in charge of my baby and if I feel comfortable then I’d try it one day

My LO has gone to gym daycare since she was 6 months. I do have a 5 and 7 year old that also go, so they always tell me what’s going on and I’ve never had a bad experience. Definitely wanna make sure there’s enough staff to kid ratio. There’s definitely times that I’ve showed up and there’s like 6 babies and one teacher and I just choose to come back later. It’s not their fault that people call out and they’re short staffed. Also, i always make sure that if I see a new teacher or someone I haven’t seen before, i introduce myself and let them know, if my kids start crying or anything happens, to send me a text and I’m happy to come back right away. My LO is 16 months now and will walk in by herself whereas there’s new kids up to 3 y/o that will cry since they’re not used to it. I think definitely give it a shot whenever you feel comfortable and just feel it out.

You can also ask questions and see how the kids are taken care of... you can't expect them to be super experienced or qualified it's a gym they are there to watch them.

Our gym preferred 8 weeks (mainly to encourage mom to take some time to heal) we started taking my son once or twice a week at that point and built up from there

Our gym won’t take babies under 6 months and only takes them for two hours max. Feels like what age to leave them would depend not only on your comfort level but also the rules of your gym. I’d ask lots of questions about what type of care is provided and what the qualifications of the sitters are/ are they cpr certified and so on.
