Is it just me or is leaving the house with just baby and yourself to run errands super stressful and scary. If I have my hubby, mom, or friend I am not afraid at all. But the thought of leaving just the 2 of us scares me to death. Have an outing tomorrow to meet a new mom friend and am so nervous to leave and go to the zoo alone.
Any tips to help? Does anyone else feel the same?

It’s completely normal. My daughter is one and I still feel that way 😂 it’s like the extra help and set of eyes to make sure baby is okay is needed to feel secure.

Oh my goodness same here! A friend encouraged me to try it during a day my husband is at home. I can go around the corner with the baby and know he’s there at home. Small exposures is what I’m trying to wrap my head around. Literal baby steps 🤣

you’re not alone! i’m like this and idk why 😩

Start small and work your way up. Start with small walks or a quick 10 minute car ride and slowly add time and distance. In a few months it’ll seem like nothing.
