To have not enjoyed this baby class

Won't name it but just had a taster session at one of those classes where they sing and sign at the beginning, sway a lot to music and waft chiffon scarves over the babies' heads. And give them twigs and shit to 'explore'

It made me do the dry heaves.

Worst of all DS (5months) fecking loved it so I think we will have to go back

my baby got expelled from baby yoga for being too excitable! At 5 months old! And the local NCT pitter patter or whatever was so cliquey and unfriendly I gave up on any activity directed at babies and just had a nice time meeting friends, going to the cinema in the day, hopping on trains to wherever, going on cheap flights to places I might never go to again (Eindhoven! Salzburg!)

Would probably rather spend four hours solid at Boogie Babies than take 1yr old on a plane. :-/

at 5 months, I wouldn't bother going to anything you don't enjoy.

I have a v high tolerance/am easily pleased when it comes to baby stuff, but never bothered going back to anything that felt like a chore, or that wasn't friendly. It's not worth it. There are plenty of things you can do with a baby, whether it is groups or not, so why do anything you feel is grim.

Nooo! I fell for this nonsense too and I wish I hadn't wasted my time sitting in chiffon and pine cone hell, plastering a rictus grin below my horrified eyes.

If you hate it, don't go. Enjoy having a baby that will stay still and not argue. What about baby cinema? You watch a nice film, they hopefully sleep through it?
