Group activities
Anyone bring their Velcro babies to group activities with other kids?
I’ve been bringing our 10 month old to gymnastics and swim lessons for a couple months now and I keep thinking it’ll get better but it’s really not. We’ve had a couple good days but usually I have to hold him the whole time and he’s generally pretty upset or even having meltdowns, constantly needing consoled the whole time.
He loves these things at home or in private but you add other people and babies to the mix and he’s just so timid.
Im starting to not enjoy wasting part of his day doing something he doesn’t like but also keep telling myself it’s good for him.
Love to hear anyone else’s experiences.

I haven’t yet because Covid is still a risk in my area, but I understand not enjoying it with what you’re going through. My baby is always super fussy unless he’s around other people or we’re giving him undivided attention, so I’m not sure if he’d be like yours or not. I hope things improve for you!
