To feel weird (and a bit scared) to go out without DD?

Going shopping in a bit without 7 month old DD (who's at her Grandparents until this afternoon)

I've often said how lovely it would be to 'nip' into a few shops without the buggy, browse without worrying about feeding times, a bored grizzly baby etc.

But now, I feel almost scared of the idea, what If I start talking to myself? 'Should Mummy get Daddy some bananas?'. I already 'rock' things that she's not in, like trolleys - or myself as if I'm holding her when I'm not Confused

Also, I'm an invisible nobody again, don't have my jolly baby to make people smile and be nice!

Feels almost like going out naked, so unused to it, feel nervous.

On the plus side have had a lovely relaxing morning but missing her like mad now and want her back

Totally get this. It seems I have forgotten how to walk without the pram. I seem to wobble everywhere, especially when I've got to actually carry shopping bags Shock
I also miss the friendly exchanges I always have when DS is with me, feel so anonymous when I'm on my own!

Hear you op.

Youngest now 13 and off with her mates.

Redundant and reduced to mumsnetting.
