Eating out

At that age it’s easy once you work out where has a changing room and space for a pushchair ie marks or costs coffee for example. It’s when they start moving it gets tricky!

At this age a stroller car seat system made things so much better. U can pop the car seat onto the stroller and go. U can bring bottles, formula, and nursing covers. As long as baby is comfortable she will be fine.

Honestly, I miss having a baby, taking them out when they’re younger is definitely a lot easier than when they are toddlers (imo) 🥲

We didn’t start going out properly to places for food etc until he was maybe 4/5 months old, then it got more frequent as soon as he could sit in a high chair. We still try our best to go out (he’s 19 months old now) but sometimes it can be really difficult because he is so interested in wanting to get out his high chair and run around. I would definitely take advantage of having a baby rather than a toddler at the moment haha

My husband was really good at helping to give me the confidence so day 5 with my son we went to nandos and day 4 with my daughter. Ive done lunch and a coffee regularly (dinner is harder) because my husband sat by me and made sure I had the confidence to breastfeed in public and not stress when the baby cried. Go with someone who builds your confidence.

First time I left my son was 5 months and we did dinner while my mum stayed to babysit and she laughed that we literally left for about an hour as I wanted to get back to him. Daughter was 4 months when we went for dinner and were gone almost 3 hours!

I go out to coffee shops or cafes every few days with my little one. It's nice having someone bring me a cake and drink makes me feel like I'm having a break! My little one is 8 weeks. I also have a toddler and it's definitely easier when they're this young. I just make sure I know where the baby changing is and we're sorted.

We started going for coffee or lunch when baby was a few days old. I miss those newborn days - trying to keep a toddler sat down in a cafe is not easy 😂
Is there something in particular you are worried about?

Hey Girl ! How are you? What are the chances?
It only gets worse when they get older, they then just eat and want to run away and you literally chase them around the restaurant.

When they reach 2, that's when it's REALLY hard work 😂🤪

I wish I have taken my baby out when she was younger. I was so scared before that she might get sick and keeps her away from cigarette smokes 😩 Now she is 10 months old, we go to restaurants but she easily gets bored when she finished eating then just stands from the high chair. 😭
