If you use a gym with daycare, what age were you comfortable leaving baby?
-
DH and I joined a community gym late in my third trimester. I haven't been yet! LO 1 loves it and has been going since 18 months. He has a blast and will beg to go. The main childcare provider is a sweet grandma type with something like 6 kids and 14 grandkids of her own.
I am itching to get back to the gym (especially a yoga class) but I have a seven week old. -
I started taking E at 6 weeks. I went to an early class so it was often just her and the same caregiver every day. It was a barre gym, so very small and I was right nearby. A regular gym daycare (like at Golds), I started leaving her at 6 months
-
6 weeks! Starting early is so much easier!! Do it momma!
-
@blackbird: @mrslion: well shoot, maybe I'll start this week! Yay!
The daycare lady has been asking DH and my MIL (who also goes to our gym and takes LO 1 sometimes) when she gets to hold the new baby.
-
@cmomma17: yeah go! Just pick a slow time of day if that helps you feel more comfortable
-
My gym doesn't take babies until they are six months old so that's great that yours takes little babies!
-
My gym doesn't take babies younger than six months, so we went at six months.
-
Our gym starts at 2 months. We didn't join until LO was over a year but she loves going. There are always a ton of kids when we go (typically after work on week nights or Saturday mornings).
-
Haha 6 weeks- the youngest they take them! I'm only there for an hour, they have a separate infants area, and they don't even feed or change babies- so I was fine with it!
-
@Mrs. Pen: my gym is the same, no feeding or changing, so it wouldn't be for long anyways!
-
I'm at the gym on a treadmill right now! Eek! I feel so brave!
-
@cmomma17: That's awesome!
-
@cmomma17: good for you! enjoy your workout!
