Gym daycare?

When did you leave your babe at the gym daycare and for how long? My little one is 5 months but he is a Velcro baby, EBF, and hasn’t been away from me often. I want some me time and to slowly get back to a gym routine but my anxiety is horrible when it comes to leaving him with anyone. I’ve done home workouts but it’s just not the same as being able to be in the gym, I don’t have any help so if I wanted to go to the gym I’d have to utilize the daycare.

We started at 2 months. Ours is also a velcro baby and was EBF at the time but we'd leave him for less than an hour, we could see him on the cameras, and if he got upset they'd call us. He warmed up to it pretty quickly, surprisingly.

I go to burn boot camp it has free child care. The earliest you can bring baby is 12wks.

I did at 3 months and it’s been great for him since he won’t be doing other daycare, my MIL watches him while my husband and I work M-Th! He gets extra cuddles there or a good nap in 😂 they love him

My baby is 3 months and I wear him at the gym! I love it and he usually passes out

I started at 4 months

@Kidy ugh I’m jealous!! I tried that at our gym and they are like nope 🤦🏽‍♀️

Try line it up with baby’s sleep, and leave them in the pram if you can. I started super young, maybe 8 weeks last time. They had to come get me the first time because baby was crying but got better after that.

I felt the same! My baby was 4 or 5 months I think when I was looking into it. But I had too much anxiety thinking what if he non stop screams and won’t stop crying, or if there’s more than one baby, or the germs he might get being around other kids since he isn’t in day care lol so I didn’t do it. But now he’s 8 months and I’m re thinking it. I think he is more independent now and can handle an hour being with someone else. And he can be sat on the floor instead of having to be held the whole time. Maybe try smaller increments and see how he does and work your way up to the time you want to leave him for.
