Gym childcare for SAHM ?

Hey mamas! I’m a SAHM who loves to workout but I’m ready to get back into community and start going to the gym more. I just took my baby to the childcare at my gym for the first time today, she’s 9 1/2 months old. It was SO hard for me especially considering she’s only with me 99% of the time! She did so well, but i have so much anxiety. I even brought a baby monitor with me to watch her while I did my workout class. Has anyone else done this? Hoping someone can relate so I can feel more confident with this.. ❤️‍🩹

I think it’ll get easier as you do it more. It might be a good option to do a babysitter at home.

I’m a sahm and it’s just me and my daughter together all the time. My husband travels for work so he’s gone days at a time. So if I want to go to the gym I have to drop her off at their daycare. She always has a blast but it definitely is hard especially because she can’t talk and it just makes me nervous. But the reviews people have are very good and I’ve never had a problem. It’s a good thing fr your kiddo to be around others and for you to get a break to do something that’s good for your health ❤️

Totally I’ve done this a couple times! She did not handle it well any time she’s really needy and dependent on me. I can never really leave her anywhere without me (besides grandparents) I’m also a SAHM just remember you can always workout from home! That’s the decision I made after trying the gym with my baby and thankfully there are many effective at home programs out there. She usually “works out with me” or just plays alongside me. I’ve been using the build and burn app for a year now! I think they’re having a 50% off deal for the new year rn and I think it’s totally worth it to pay for that kind of like a gym membership. You only need dumbbells 💪

You all are helping me feel so much less alone!! Thank you so much for sharing your stories ♥️♥️
