Not wanting to leave my house w baby

It's really hard when you have a baby who hates the car no matter what, mine was like that. People used to say "oh all babies hate the car" but he would scream until the point of making himself sick, it wasn't just a bit unsettled.

I did still have to take him out in the car myself though, we live in Cornwall and public transport is pretty much non-existent.

I tried to find music that would calm him, the happy song by Imogen heap is a popular one. I also used pink noise to try and help him sleep. I had him sitting in the front passenger seat with the airbag off as my car manual allows that, so he could see me. And I just left plenty of time when I was going somewhere to give us both a chance to calm down once we arrived

I used to get so much anxiety when my baby would scream in public because I felt like I never saw anyone else’s baby upset in public. but now I changed my mindset to that my daughter is allowed to have experiences and exist in the world. She’s not always going to be happy and that’s fine. people are entitled to a child free life but not a child free world so I don’t get as much anxiety when she gets upset and worry what people think. 90% of the time everyone understands because most people have/ had children.
Take her places like the park etc because fresh air is calming for babies. I always have a couple rattles/toys/ teether etc on hand in case she gets a bit grumpy and I’m usually walking and singing/talking to her to distract her

My son is about to turn 1 and I’ve never left the house alone with him. Husband is SAHD, he goes out with baby alone all the time when I’m working. I only take baby out for walks around the neighborhood by myself. There’s a bit of anxiety associated with it but also some “comfort” because husband can come along or stay with the baby if I need to go to groceries for example. But I need to take him out by myself!
