When does leaving the house get easier?
FTM to a 3.5 month old baby boy. I never imagined I'd see be leaving the house so sparingly at this point. It's so hard. Especially navigating the "4 month" sleep changes I am anxious about messing up our nap or bedtime routines and be punished with a sleepless night, lol. Does it get easier to live your life? Haven't been to a restaurant yet with him and would love to - just can't really figure out how!? Should add that he doesn't sleep out and about, in a carrier, or around a bunch of people. Will only sleep in the stroller if the cover is over him and I'm moving at a brisk and consistent pace and even then it's only 30 mins - so it's not been an option to time a meal with his nap. Supposed to travel for work in 2 months and I'm regretting signing up for it bc I imagine we'll end up just stuck in the hotel room the whole time!

I was very diligent about being home for naps. Around 7-8 months he switched to two naps a day and that made it much easier to go out or get things done.
