It’s hard to come up with activities or entertainment when the darkness eats up the brightness and of course just to make it harder to leave warm homes, rain comes. Part from watching TV and attending singing or other children friendly fun. I have often caught myself wishing I didn’t have to meet new mothers and their baby/babies. I am sorry, sometimes I just want to enjoy my own little one and have our time.
What do we do? We go swimming. My little one loves it and we have been few times, splashing away, laughing, chasing the floating boll, just us and we love it.
I got my little one a Zoggy’s Trainer seat, which is very handy. As the little one puts weights on, they tend to get heavy after holding them for a while. When we first time put our “lovy” in one it was really funny as he just managed to spin himself around rather going anywhere.
I wished we would have gone swimming earlier, I can’t remember how old he was but you can take your little one for a swim as early as 6 weeks old. No need to have injections before as, the chlorine kills any germs. The baby's inbuilt gag reflex is generally at its strongest before six months. This means that he can hold his breath under water without thinking about it. The first time we went swimming, the water was cold for a baby. I thought it was and our little one and another baby a month older then ours was shivering as well. And therefore the Park Road Leisure Centre really put me off as the same happened when I went there pregnant. I do go to the Park Road Leisure Centre more often these days, (need to get into shape) I feel they have improved but still think its very “USCH”. If you do go, bring flip-flop, you will not regret it.
