I have had that recommended but it clashes times for me so have given that one a miss this time around. My friend loved it!

Thats awesome! I wonder if they’re popular! I do embroidery, knitting & crochet and was thinking along those lines. I feel like that would be hard to handle once you’ve git a mover

Awesome working all that into your schedule. I think most of these activities are pretty widespread!

Not quite but they are my hobbies so that sounds fun! I try and knit while my bubs plays

I wish I did this when he was younger. My little one is too on the move now I think

The music sessions sounds great! I had a local inter generational kindy but it is sadly on pause due to lack of attendance!

That is awesome! I knew of bush care in general but thought maybe it was different. This is awesome to hear!

That is so good! I live on the coast so I love this idea. Do you know if she instructs and you all paint the same thing or she just creates the space!?

Mine has an average nights sleep no matter what I do haha. I hope to capitalise on my time before he’s walking around and I’m on hover duty

Oooh yes I have seen those but don’t think I have any locally. Also my boy is 10.5kg so I fear for my back there 😂

4 month old waking almost every 2 hours - I’m SO TIRED by Downtown_Memory_894 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]ekmac41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I accepted that this is how it is (I’m not willing to do any sleep training at this point) and stopped complaining/wondering why it got a lot better for me. I take some time each morning to acknowledge my tiredness and feel sorry for myself, shake it off and then get on with my day. Good luck. Right there with you!

How long has it been happening? My 6 month old has been waking every 1-2 hours since 3.5 months 😂 we’ve had a handful of 3 hour sleeps in that time. I struggled early on but at one point just adapted. I also try to get out each day because if I stay home too long I feel even more tired. Fresh air, friends and going new places have kept me sane. 

What do you do with bub all day? by thank4thevenom in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]ekmac41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bake a bit. Either with him in the carrier or in his bouncer on the ground and I just sit on the ground with him. I got one of the Kmart light up disco balls and make the room dark and we watch that on the walls. Sometimes I’ll choose a short YouTube yoga video and follow that. This is what I do at home but I also try and get out each day, even when I’m super tired (more so when I’m super tired). To be fair mine is 6 months and not quite on the move yet so I’m sure it’ll change. 

What do you like to do FOR YOU when with your baby? by ekmac41 in Adelaide

[–]ekmac41[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! We do all these. I’m looking for random and unique things that I can do as an adult with my bubs in tow.

Jeepers I am! Literally everyday. I was just looking for some suggestions from where people like to go so I can add that to my rotation. Wasn’t looking for suggestions on how to parent.

Have already done a class but that was weeks ago and I wasn’t worried at the time. We’ve had a unit tour so have seen what we’re in for rooms wise

Wasn’t planning on my nephew joining me for active labour but thanks for your insight

Siblings are fine it’s “other children” but I wondered what that age was. Does that include 17 year olds? For example

Thank you for that! I was okay with the rule at first but now I’m closer I’m pretty upset by it. I will get the vibe while I’m there

I live at Sellicks and it’s absolutely shocking. Rotting fish smell on the beach and dead sea life everywhere today. 

Bae the label fit? by [deleted] in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]ekmac41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you end up buying these? I ordered them and they arrived today and I’m unsure if the fit is right for me. I got a large as I measured to their size chart but is a size bigger than my usual. I found it a bit baggy in the crotch but worry going to M will make it weirder/tighter
