Sleep times & activities

**Kayangel** · 18-12-2008 10:15

Just wondering wat other mums do when they have activities on eg. swimming, gymbaroo, playgroup, a meet or something they need to do and its there babies or toddlers sleep time.

Next year my DS will have both swimming and gymbaroo at the times he normally has his sleep so im scared he will be tired, unsettled and grumpy but i could only get those times, wat should i do?

I just don't go, its not worth the hassle. If bub is tired they won't enjoy it anyway, either will mum having to deal with a cranky baby.

I plan everything around sleep times... if its during a sleep i dont go because its not worth the hassle!!

You have time yet to adjust your child's routine or maybe he will get older and do that himself

PS dunno how you do it with more than 2 kids! - dreading that one

You may be able to change the class times once the term actually starts. Also, it's over a month until 1st term starts, the routine may have changed by then anyway.

I didn't have a problem with swimming as it made him good and tired and he would have a big nap afterwards. Usually I would plan around naps but that's not always possible. Bub#2 for me became flexible and would sleep in his stroller while DS1 was doing an activity.
