Can you go out with baby to have fun and actually enjoy it..? I can’t...

El

So I am still envious to hear or see (on instagram) how other parents are out and about with their babies and we still can’t. I see people put their babies in stroller and cover it with a blanket and keep chatting with their friends and I am like🤤🤤

Here is why: Our baby girl can only go 2h between naps. We cannot go out cause she doesn’t nap anywhere but at home🤷🏻‍♀️ So between naps, if we try we usually only have 1ish hour to go out because you know once she is up I need to change her, dress her up, feed her etc...which means we can only go the grocery shopping or for a quick walk in the park. That is it! We tried going out for brunch couple times and ended up my husband walking in the restaurant with baby to distract her from crying. Going to dr visits is always scary and painful because there is no way we can do it in an hour so every-time we go she gets agitated. So rather than stressing ourselves over it, we just don’t go out unless we have to. Which means, no eating outside, no shopping or just even window shopping, no grabbing a coffee etc. It is a very strict schedule and makes me feel like I am trapped into the same day for the last 6 months. It is like the movie Groundhog Day! I don’t have any family near by, and no friends who offers to give a hand. Besides even if they do or I hire someone I don’t think they would be able to make her nap and ended up calling us back to home. She is highly dependent on us for her sleeps. I should take couple days and teach someone all the tricks which I don’t have money for....My husband does his best and offers me to go out during weekends but that would mean going out on my own which is not fun either. If I am not exhausted I go to gym twice a week (max) at nights after she sleeps. That is all I have😏

Do you guys have any tricks to make a baby occasionally nap in the stroller..?

Thanks!
