M is with a babysitter while I go to work 2 days / week but the babysitter's kids are 3 and older. We've had a few recent playdates with kids closer to M's age (9 months) and just signed up for a group with a few of them. She loves it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-interaction-does-your-baby-get-with-other-babies#post-900000 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 21:13:33 +0000 sarac 900000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When she was a baby, not a ton. Much more now as a toddler since I've made friends here and there are so many fun things to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-interaction-does-your-baby-get-with-other-babies#post-899873 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 20:10:25 +0000 mrsmate 899873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a sahm and dd got a ton! We started with a local moms coffee hour once a week at about 6wks, then kept adding things until we had something to do everyday. It really helped maintain my sanity! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-interaction-does-your-baby-get-with-other-babies#post-899673 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 18:27:15 +0000 Mrs. Pen 899673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, not a ton. We do a playdate with his cousin who is 6 months older about once a month. And he'll see other kids at the park, church nursery, and YMCA pool/day care. But it's not consistent. </p> <p>At this point he's young so I am not too worried about it, but I know I should be more proactive about it now that he's a toddler! It's just so hard to meet other people with kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-interaction-does-your-baby-get-with-other-babies#post-899664 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 18:23:57 +0000 cranberryapple 899664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once a week, we have a baby class we attend, but that's it! I'm a SAHM, and an anti-social one at that! :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-interaction-does-your-baby-get-with-other-babies#post-898807 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 13:29:36 +0000 Springtime 898807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Umm none at all! He's not in daycare and we don't have playdates or anything. I really need to find him some little buddies because he is so fascinated when he sees other kids his age! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-interaction-does-your-baby-get-with-other-babies#post-898800 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 13:28:00 +0000 yin 898800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not much since I stay home with LO. We are working on social interaction with him, but it's hard to adjust. Luckily he has cousins close in age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-interaction-does-your-baby-get-with-other-babies#post-898756 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 13:13:10 +0000 NovBaby1112 898756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: ugh, that's aggravating!! i would keep emailing her tho too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-interaction-does-your-baby-get-with-other-babies#post-898725 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 13:05:03 +0000 immabeetoo 898725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NovBaby1112: Not really, just flaky. I've tried two months in a row to go to a "trial" event and she either didn't follow up to give me the address or the second time, gave me the wrong day (no one was there). I feel like a desperate loner to keep emailing her but.. I want my little guy to get out and play! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-interaction-does-your-baby-get-with-other-babies#post-898706 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 12:59:25 +0000 LuLu Mom 898706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She has a daycare boyfriend who is very close in age, they love each other. We also have several friends/families with kids her age that she sees usually every week or every other week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-interaction-does-your-baby-get-with-other-babies#post-898693 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 12:56:56 +0000 NovBaby1112 898693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: eek that's not cool!! is she being mean or something??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-interaction-does-your-baby-get-with-other-babies#post-898685 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 12:55:57 +0000 NovBaby1112 898685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not a lot :( i work part time and it seems like all the activities in some mom's groups or baby classes seem to fall on the days that i am working, of course! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-interaction-does-your-baby-get-with-other-babies#post-898675 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 12:52:59 +0000 immabeetoo 898675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far only once a week at library story time :( Trying to get in with the (only) local mom's group but have had seriously bad luck with their membership person. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-interaction-does-your-baby-get-with-other-babies#post-898581 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 12:31:20 +0000 heffalump 898581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We go to library 2-3 times a week, we're going to start going to music class, and she sees her baby cousin often. We used to do gymboree but they moved it to be too far away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-interaction-does-your-baby-get-with-other-babies#post-898556 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 12:24:56 +0000 HLK208 898556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Between 1-3 times a week we play with other babies. I'm a stay-at-home mom but we have a play date once a week + most of my 4 year-old's friends have siblings that are between 1-2 so she plays with them when he has play dates too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-interaction-does-your-baby-get-with-other-babies#post-898550 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 12:22:54 +0000 swurlygurl 898550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Quite a bit.</p> <p>A lot at daycare. We have a friend with a baby close to her age. She has 2 cousins that we see on the weekends, one is a year older, but that gap will seem smaller as they get older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-interaction-does-your-baby-get-with-other-babies#post-898548 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 12:22:48 +0000 katsupgirl 898548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Practically none. At some point that will change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-interaction-does-your-baby-get-with-other-babies#post-898541 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 12:21:21 +0000 autumnlove 898541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A lot! She started daycare at 12 weeks. My younger one doesn't get a lot of interaction with other babies right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-interaction-does-your-baby-get-with-other-babies#post-898524 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 12:14:40 +0000 Running Elley 898524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He stays in the nursery at church every week with other babies his age, we do a baby hour at the library every week and he has a cousin 3 months younger than him that he gets playtime with pretty often too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-interaction-does-your-baby-get-with-other-babies#post-898507 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 12:08:55 +0000 hilsy85 898507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A fair amount...we do 3 classes a week with babies his age/older, and we meet up with other SAHMs and their kids a few times a week as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-interaction-does-your-baby-get-with-other-babies#post-898437 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 11:43:01 +0000 Weagle 898437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a SAHM, and she doesn't get daily baby interaction. She plays with other babies at least 3-4x a week though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-interaction-does-your-baby-get-with-other-babies#post-898397 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 11:32:46 +0000 BeachMama 898397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's in daycare 3x a week, so she gets a lot of interaction with other babes. It's one reason why I really don't mind that she's in daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-interaction-does-your-baby-get-with-other-babies#post-898304 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 11:08:36 +0000 dagret 898304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tons at daycare but all of our baby friends are newborns so they're still too little for playdates.</p> <p>It was so cute, they wrote on L's sheet the other day that he sat with the bigger babies at the table when they had snack (bc he was being a needy little thing, but they didn't write that part.) :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-interaction-does-your-baby-get-with-other-babies#post-898221 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 10:46:17 +0000 lovehoneybee 898221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a lot, unfortunately. He has baby hour at the library once a week and a play group date at the park every week or two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-interaction-does-your-baby-get-with-other-babies#post-898181 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 10:37:00 +0000 Adira 898181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lots! Xander's in daycare full-time and I think there are 6 other infants in his room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-interaction-does-your-baby-get-with-other-babies#post-898175 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 10:35:39 +0000 Smurfette 898175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tons at day care during the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-interaction-does-your-baby-get-with-other-babies#post-898168 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 10:34:33 +0000 lemondrop 898168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not much until recently- baby swim once a week from 2 months old, but we started taking him to the gym daycare at 16 months, now he goes most days for an hour or so. He hadn't figured out playing too much yet, but he likes to follow and watch the older kids (not many his age). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-interaction-does-your-baby-get-with-other-babies#post-898143 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 10:29:25 +0000 looch 898143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hardly any, I was a stay at home mom for the first two years and it was mostly just the two of us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-interaction-does-your-baby-get-with-other-babies#post-898141 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 10:28:44 +0000 mrsjazz 898141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is in a nanny share, so she plays with one other baby all day from M-F. Plus our nanny has a nanny friend in the area so that toddler plays with them a few times a week.</p> <p>We occasionally go to a neighborhood singalong or cafe that has a playroom on the weekends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-interaction-does-your-baby-get-with-other-babies#post-898137 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 10:28:07 +0000 MamaMoose 898137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tons at daycare. Plus some of our best friends have a baby who is 4 months older than M and they hang out a fair amount and between our two next door neighbors there are 4 kids ranging from 10months to 4 years. </p>
