When to start baby classes?

I have a two month old and was wondering when would be the best time to start baby classes and what kind of classes? We don’t have a routine yet so wanted to know what other mums are doing? I also feel slightly anxious too as I’m worried he might start crying during the classes.

I took my daughter to her first one at 6 weeks old. She didn’t do anything but sleep😅 She’s had moments where all she did was cry in a class but honestly you won’t be the only one with a crying baby!! Nobody’s bats an eye as everyone’s been there🥰

I took mine at 6 weeks ☺️ Babies will cry and nobody will care because they’re all in the same boat! Mine was the smallest baby there when we first went so everyone just wanted to hold him so I was able to have a nice cuppa 😂

Whenever! If its not for her then you can mrrt some new mum friends :)

I took my eldest at 6 weeks and my youngest at 4. Don’t worry about crying lots of babies will be crying!

I took my baby at four months to a sensory class. She loved it ☺️

Whenever! I’d probably just go to the free groups at childrens centres at that age

We started sensory class at 6 weeks, she slept through the first few weeks but they still take in 60% even while asleep! She is now 15 weeks and stays awake enjoying the singing and lights etc. We have now started a baby signing class too. She has had a couple of classes where she’s cried a bit but there are other babies who cry loads! It doesn’t bother me or anybody else. There is 1 baby at sensory who starts crying half way through and then doesn’t stop, she has some health issues and it’s good for her mum to be able to talk about it and get some kind words from other mums. You will both enjoy it ☺️

Mine weren’t paid classes I went to Mothers groups, playgroups and baby bounce sessions at the library for my own sanity and to get out of the house and to make some friends.

This is the right time I started taking baby to classes a two months after her first vaccin So baby may sleep during the class I guess the classes are more for mums than then. Baby Check your local children center if they have under six months group Local library

We started at 7/8 weeks old and I've made some great mum friends. At the start it's more for you, really, but the routine and things is great. Daughter loved baby sensory and knew from an early age when we got there and would be all smiles

I went to a baby sensory class at around 3 months. He slept for half of the first few sessions but it was nice to get out and feel like I was doing something around other parents. Don’t worry about crying, it’s totally normal and to be expected. Lots of mums would breastfeeding during the class too. Whatever your baby needs to be content.

As soon as you feel ready. babies cry, no one minds - they understand it and totally feel the same way. Baby sensory is great - hello to the sun if it’s in your area. Our local libraries do nice nursery rhyme singing. And then we have local churches that do stay and plays. - so good for meeting other mums. X

We went to our first class at 3 months. It was to the library for baby time. They had songs and stories. It was up to 18 months but we stopped going before that because he wouldn't sit still. We also went to a government run baby program starting at 4 months. It was where I met most of my mum friends. Swimming started at 4 months (the youngest possible in my area). A lot of the mums from the government group were also in the swim class. Babies cry, they fall asleep, they wake up hungry. No one cares because they're all parents. Honestly everything was more of a social for parents.

I started at 8 weeks x

We went at 8 weeks, and the first few weeks was more watching, but about week 10 she started to interact and show interest, she’s now 8 months and absolutely loves it! We do heartbeeps every week which we love, moo music, church baby and toddler groups, baby gym and they’re all really good!
