My husband wants to experience things with our daughter and likes to learn how to play with her so always comes with me to our baby sensory classes. He’s always the only man and a few mums there seem out off that he attends with us. Would you be bothered if a man came to a baby class (not specified that it’s just for mums but just what’s normal)

I think it’s great he wants to attend! I think more men should! If people have an issue with it that’s just weird and their problem.

Honestly people will be outraged over the most ridiculous things 🥱

Not sure where you are or what classes. But i go to various baby classes at many libraries in the cities in this area and I see dads sometimes even with their babies and no mom. I also see grandmas who probably keep baby during the day. The class is mostly about baby and tips for caring and helping baby develop so not sure why anyone would be upset.

I get why some people may feel uncomfortable - you never know what other people's backgrounds are and theres so many factors that go into it. Having said that, I think its amazing that dad wants to go! Its good to see him being proactive. Dont let them put you off, just focus on your bubble. They'll have an amazing relationship because of it ❤️

I used to love seeing dads at groups! Also when grandparents would come along, that was lovely too x

My husband would always come along if he was around.

My husband took baby as it was his only day off x

My husband always took our daughter as well, I think it’s because not many men typically go x

I used to take ours to baby swim classes and was embarrassed that everybody else's partner came with them and mine didn't. After the first class, a few mother's didn't even get in the water and by the third none of them did, so it was just me and all the dads. I suspect it's worse for him than it is for them, so I wouldn't worry what they think. They're probably a bit envious that your husband is participating in that way. I know that's what I felt, and totally neglected by my own partner for not offering to come, even though logistically I didn't need him to
