2u2 mom's

Have you gone out alone yet? How did you do it?

Simple solution would be a double stroller. We don't have one yet. Grr. Second would be baby wearing, but I can't do that yet. Lo hated the Moby wrap and the waist band on the tula still hurts my post c/s belly. So that will be an option soon, once the c/s heals, but... how do I do it until then?

    Well, I am 2 under 28 months so close enough!

    We bought a double stroller on craigslist for $80. It is a Graco and is pretty nice. It is huge though and is hard to get in/out of the car. I also can't push it uphill for any significant amount of time because the thing is heavy.

    We have been out of the house 4-5 times alone since my baby was born 4 weeks ago. We only leave the house in the morning time when the baby is sleeping. Then I pop the car seat with a sleeping baby in the double stroller and we're off. We went to the park today and fed the ducks and played on the playground. The baby woke up once so I breastfed her and she fell back asleep. The motion of the stroller lulls her to sleep too. We were there 2 hours and it went great!

    Lol. No. Nope. Noper. Nopest.

    Is this an eventual requirement of motherhood? Can I skip it? What if I have a doctor's note excusing me?

    If you can't tell, I'm dreading our maiden voyage.

    Have you tried the Beco? It has a super wide waist piece and actually feels GOOD to wear because it puts a nice even pressure along the incision kind of like how a tummy binder would.

    My biggest fear is that my DS1 is more mobile than I am - and I'm terrified of his safety being compromised because of my slowness, inability to snatch him up quickly, etc.

    The waist band on my tula is padded and support comfortable. It just rests on top of my internal stitches and THAT is what is painful. :( That's one of the reasons I'm so disappointed this lo doesn't like my Moby.

    I have been out with both of them 1x and I wore DS in a wrap or a ring sling and pushed DD in a stroller.

    I'm 2 under 28 months. I have a double stroller but it's a beast to set up. I've been using my snap and go and having my ds hold on to the stroller. He's only run away twice lol.

    I don't have an answer, but I would like to take a moment to applaud all you 2u2 moms. Kudos, ladies! I don't know how you do it!

    I bring my mom.  Seriously... I really do.  When I have gone out alone, I put newborn in the Boba carrier and the 23 month old in the stroller.  Other option was to go to places with a shopping cart, put toddler in the cart and wear or put the newborn in the cart and stack groceries around the toddler if I leave him in car seat on cart.  You can do it!

    Does dropping DS off at daycare count? I have gotten them both out of the house, just not anywhere public. She doesn't fit the mei tai yet, so until then, I am nervous to go to the park alone.

    How tiny is your LO? I've got Amelia in the Tula (using a blanket to M her legs and get her a tad higher instead of buying the infant insert).  Would she fit in an Ergo or a Moby? BTW, I don't blame you for not going to the park.  The park is the bane of this Mommy's existence! I despise the park with the passion of a thousand imploding suns. ;)

    Why don't they put a fence around park playgrounds? I hate that fucking place. DS1 just wants to run EVERYWHERE like his pants are on fire, and it is EXHAUSTING. Fence that shit city council!!
