Get Out of the House and Make Each Day an Adventure!

By Elisa Ast All

Pages:  1  2  

  • Indoor playgrounds, such as Discovery Zone, can be lots of fun once baby can get around on his own. Chuck E. Cheese's combines indoor fun with food, so you can have lunch out as well. Just remember to follow the use and size recommendations and to watch baby at all times. Older kids might not be as careful as you'd like them to be around your baby.


  • Join a new moms group. These groups tend to float from one member's house to another's and can be a wonderful source of support and diversion for both you and baby.


  • Take a mom and baby class, sponsored locally or by a national chain such as Gymboree. These classes include songs and games specific to baby's age.

    • If you absolutely can't get out of the house, make each day special by trying some of these ideas: play lots of different music in the house and sing along while dancing with baby, buy a collection of new books and read different ones each day, color with crayons, paint with water colors, bake different things for baby to try (when old enough!) and use your imagination. You can make each day an adventure!
