Anyone worried about the effect social distancing will have on their LO’s?

Question

I am definitely not an expert in baby development but is anyone worried that if this goes on for months it will have a negative impact on our little ones development? For instance not interacting with other babies, not getting used to being around other people, being in a quiet house all the time (it’s just my husband and I) so not getting used to a louder environment etc etc 
Before this began we had just begun to go to library classes and baby/mom workout groups and my LO was loving all the stimulation. I know there are things you can do at home I just don’t feel like it’s the same.
What is everyone else doing to make sure their babies develop appropriately? Or is this not something to worry about at this age?

Answer

I am super worried about the ripple effects.  Just  keep telling myself it is out of our control and will eventually be ok!

Answer

Nope, not worried about it. Stranger anxiety does not occur until about 6 months. And its not like my son is making actual friends.

Answer

My first daughter didn't interact with other children until she started kindergarten at 4 years old. I'm an introvert and did online college and work from home. She's 12 now and completely normal 🤷

Answer

I just had this convo with my doctor at my sons 4 month follow-up. She said it’s nothing to worry about, they will still develop appropriately. They really don’t need much interaction with others other than the parents since they’re still so little. Just talk and play with baby, that does more than enough for them.

Answer

I'm not concerned about it yet, because our plan was not to put baby girl in daycare until the beginning of may so she was going to be home either way. I will be concerned if we get to that point and we still have to work from home and daycare is closed.

Answer

The only thing I’m worried about is that we had already been in daycare for a month and she had adjusted so well but now my sisters are taking care of her and I don’t want her to get too used to the new routine since it hopefully won’t last for too long.  I also feel bad because I know her grandparents are really disappointed that they can’t visit until all this has passed

Answer

Oh yeah. My daughter has been going to daycare since 6 weeks old. It’s odd having her home and I can’t spend much time just on just her because I have a toddler. Ana now I have to go back to work and since daycare is closed my parents are watching the kids since thankfully they can work from home but they won’t be able to spend much time with them either
