I really liked them but they always seem to interfere with napping. I just found it really hard to schedule anything with him for the first year or so. The only thing that was regular was bedtime and that was 6:30 pm! So we really couldn't do anything. I would like to do stuff like that but for us it's just added pressure in our busy lives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohm-and-mommy-amp-me-classes#post-2166946 Mon, 04 May 2015 20:37:23 +0000 mrsjazz 2166946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't worry much about classes when LO was younger because our nanny took her to drop-ins. Do you have a place where you could do an occasional drop-in on the weekends?</p> <p>We do a dance class on Saturday mornings. We roll out of bed and walk to class basically. I would rather sleep in but she needed more time with other kiddies as we lead up to preschool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohm-and-mommy-amp-me-classes#post-2166909 Mon, 04 May 2015 20:00:22 +0000 ShootingStar 2166909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think there's much point in classes at 8 months, but that's just me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohm-and-mommy-amp-me-classes#post-2166904 Mon, 04 May 2015 19:53:29 +0000 catomd00 2166904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do it if he is flexible with routine changes. My LO is super adaptable, so usually once a week we do something that keeps her up later then usual. Our rule is generally no more than once a week though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohm-and-mommy-amp-me-classes#post-2166833 Mon, 04 May 2015 18:32:19 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2166833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DillonLion: I would be the exact same way if I were a WOHM! :P</p> <p>I think it depends on a) your baby and b) how much you want to do this class. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohm-and-mommy-amp-me-classes#post-2166751 Mon, 04 May 2015 16:45:06 +0000 DillonLion 2166751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still haven't signed up LO for anything and she's 2.5 </p> <p>We only have one day a week (Saturday) where we don't have to get up and rush to be somewhere, and I'm cherishing that one day LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohm-and-mommy-amp-me-classes#post-2166726 Mon, 04 May 2015 16:16:39 +0000 autumnleaves 2166726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jhd: I hadn't thought of asking them but will do that - thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohm-and-mommy-amp-me-classes#post-2166723 Mon, 04 May 2015 16:13:47 +0000 daniellemybelle 2166723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally agree that it depends on the baby. My LO would not have done well, but others would be fine. While at that age, they don't really care about classes, I think it's a great way to meet other moms. Maybe you could see if you could try one class and see how it goes? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohm-and-mommy-amp-me-classes#post-2166721 Mon, 04 May 2015 16:10:07 +0000 autumnleaves 2166721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: @Bluebonnet: @PurplePeony: @Mamasig: Thanks! I think I will pass on the class and wait till he is older and there is a class that works better for both of our schedules. LO seems to not sleep as well when he goes to bed late - maybe that will change in the future - probably not though :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohm-and-mommy-amp-me-classes#post-2166715 Mon, 04 May 2015 16:06:48 +0000 jhd 2166715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Would they let you try a session before committing? I know some places let you try a class for free and then maybe you could see if it will work out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohm-and-mommy-amp-me-classes#post-2166712 Mon, 04 May 2015 16:06:20 +0000 Mamasig 2166712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it depends in the baby. DS2 does not do well when we push bedtime back! Now DS1 probably would have been fine. </p> <p>I WOH too and I think it sucks there aren't many options for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohm-and-mommy-amp-me-classes#post-2166709 Mon, 04 May 2015 16:03:04 +0000 PurplePeony 2166709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO was a mess at that age if anything interfered with bedtime. She didn't start being more flexible about bedtime until 13/14 months but even now, we're pretty limited in how much we can push it. If your baby is pretty chill about bedtime, you might be able to make it work but it never would have flown for us. I hear you on it being really hard to find mommy and me activities that work for WOHMs, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohm-and-mommy-amp-me-classes#post-2166706 Mon, 04 May 2015 16:00:53 +0000 Bluebonnet 2166706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would skip a class that late. My LO is a mess when she's overtired so pushing bedtime wouldn't be a good idea. </p> <p>Are there any Saturday morning classes available? We take music class on Saturday mornings and love it. We have to adjust LO's naptime slightly, but it hasn't been an issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohm-and-mommy-amp-me-classes#post-2166700 Mon, 04 May 2015 15:53:53 +0000 Corduroy 2166700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would skip the nighttime class unless it being able to attend would be a big benefit to you (making some needed new friends). Seems like it's more stress than it is worth being at bedtime; however, I'm a big time dropper-outer. My LO still hasn't completed a session of classes at 2 years. Others may feel very differently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohm-and-mommy-amp-me-classes#post-2166696 Mon, 04 May 2015 15:47:32 +0000 autumnleaves 2166696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 8 months old and I found a Mommy &amp; Me class (Pilates with Baby) that meets 6:30-7:30pm once a week. 7pm is LO's bedtime but I really would like to be able to do a class with him. Would you recommend skipping this because it falls in his bedtime or going for it?<br /> Same thing with classes that fall during his naptime - I am so excited that these classes exist but not sure if it makes sense to sign up for them when they conflict with naptime. Since I WOHM I find it rare to find a class that works with both of our schedules and is affordable.<br /> Also not sure if classes are that important for us now or if I should wait till he is closer to 18 months. Any thoughts? </p>
