AIBU to not to go back to baby sensory

[babysensoryclass]

I booked a course of baby sensory type classes for little one. He's six weeks old.

Went to the class today and all the other babies were awake. My one wouldn't wake up... nappy change, go outside, lifting him up.... nothing.

I started to panic and the course leader called an ambulance.

All was ok.

AIBU to not go back; I feel so embarrassed.

Little one sleeps for ages and especially in that part of the morning:

Do what you enjoy doing with your little one at this age!! We started music classes at 3 weeks old and he is still doing them at nearly 2 and half years old!! I think we started baby sensory when he was 1-2 months old and it was my favourite part of the week!! Then we started gymnastics at 4 months old which he is also still doing now 😋 Neither of us really enjoyed baby massage but baby yoga was good so it just depends on you and your baby really!! If you have a Little Movers around you I would really recommend doing that!!

I tried baby sensory on a 1 session trial when mine was 4 weeks. Pointless! He slept the whole way through. I booked on when he was 3 months, much better. See if you can defer.

OP I started going to a baby sensory class when my baby was about seven weeks with a few friends I'd made through antenatal classes. The first week my baby was oblivious, and I came home and cried to my DP that my friend's baby (who is a whole two weeks younger!) was able to track a rattle when my friend held it up to their face. The second week my baby slept through the whole class. My DP still teases me about the rattle now.

When my baby was about three months old I took her to baby sensory one week, and then we went for coffee with a few of the mums after. In the afternoon she had a funny turn at home and her skin went bluish/purple and sleepy so we called an ambulance. She was fine, and went a normal colour the moment the ambulance came and we went to A&E. I felt so stupid after, and felt guilty that I'd taken her to a class and taken pictures of her rolling around in a pile of ribbons and had a lovely time after drinking coffee as if I could have in any way foreseen what would have happened when we got back.

Now with maternity leave over I really miss those baby sensory classes. It helped me as a new mum get out of my work / career obsessed self and transition into being a mum and enjoying simpler things. I'd go back if you feel you can. The classes are for you at this stage as others have said, and it helps break up what can be a very lonely period. You've also no reason to be embarrassed. It's very early days, all your baby needs from you is cuddles and food and warthm.

Think I went from 8 weeks with my first, I did it to make some friends, get me out the house and give me some ideas of things to do with baby. I made some friends for life, and I used to do some of the songs at home with DD. It’s always hard the first time you go to these things, don’t be hard on yourself. If I were you, I’d get back on the horse to speak so to speak, go back and have a chat with the other moms.

Don't be embarrassed, go back.
Laugh about it, you're doing great x
