Baby groups

How old is he? If he doesn’t enjoy it hun then don’t take him anymore, isn’t worth the anxiety I know it causes. My daughter is the same, she’s 4 months old and hates the baby classes so I don’t take her because it was just a waste of money lol and it was messing with her nap times which are crucial for her. The classes just aren’t suited to every baby and that’s ok! You don’t need to take him to the classes to get him used to different environments. Take him to the play park, just out and about different places and it’ll be just the same to him. At this age, all he really sees is you anyway ❤️

4 months too and yes he only had couple
30 min naps day and always usually ready for it when it's time for the class just feel awkward as told the women I wanted spot but all the other babies smile
There but he doesn't 😭

It has to be enjoyable for you both hun and if it isn’t, maybe rest it for a while and try again when he’s a bit older if you want? I’d like to get my little girl used to different environments too so I’m taking her to the local play park, good long walks in the carrier and swimming. When she’s a bit bigger I’ll try the groups again but they aren’t essential right now x

Yeah my first born hated them when he was younger. He’d just get aggy, made it more stressful to take him. He sometimes likes them now, depending what they are, but still sometimes I think may be a little nervous at first until he’s used to something!

What baby class do you do with him lovely? I take my 4 month old and he doesn't engage with other children. They are still very young.

Every baby cries so don't worry about that. If you enjoy going keep going as he will get used to it and I'm sure he will stop and enjoy the classes before long 😁 xx

Well all the other babies smile and laugh and he is just blank or cries feel like the odd ones out and I don't know what to do... feel bad for saying I wanted the space to now say I don't but not sure if it's helping or making us worse xxx

Don't feel like that. All babies develop different and show their emotions differently. My little one chats like mad in the house but is quiet when out. He used to cry and hate classes but enjoys going now. I went from 8 weeks.

Don't feel bad if you want to give up the space either, speak to the person who runs the class they will understand.

Not sure where you are from but I'm from Cardiff if you are and would like to join a class with me 🩵
Always nice to have someone adults to chat with 😁

I’ve started trying to get a nap in before class and it’s helped massively. Before, baby would be fussy and feed/nap mid class, but now she actually enjoys them. We have off days too, like today she was teething and getting very upset (but I also noticed that most of the babies were off today so maybe there’s something in the air). She’s so happy and smiley at home, and less so in the classes, but I can see she enjoys looking at other people and babies, and if someone interacts with her, she gives a big smile (she usually completely ignores me). She’s 3.5 months and it defo took us a while to find our rhythm with classes

We had the same with our LO, one of his classes fell exactly at naptime and for a couple of weeks in a row he didn't enjoy them at all. This week I set an alarm to get us up early (not fun with sleep regression 😅) but it meant we could time a nap and a feed before the class and he was much calmer throughout and seemed to enjoy it. He's also more giggley and babbley at home too. It must be normal at this age. Some of the sensory classes are fab but I bet they're also really overstimulating for them x
