I have a 4 month old and I’m starting to feel the pressure out of being at home is getting to me, and I have a few months left on maternity leave. With 3 older children I’m very home based (although I’m managing to see friends during the school hours etc).

I love being with the baby and breastfeeding but I’m still nurturing a fairly new relationship. Our Baby wasn’t planned but we’re delighted with her and she has 4 older siblings (3 who live with me) so we’re incredibly busy. I’ve been through a lot in a previous unhappy marriage and I’m absolutely determined this time around to keep my life going and not just exist to look after children. I do have a very supportive boyfriend now and the relationship is great but i want to try and get out as a couple a bit more. At least once a week ideally.

So, I can get a babysitter for the older children and head out. Or She will take a bottle of expressed milk but I’m not happy to leave her more than 3 hours really, and it would be easier to take her along (she goes to bed when I do still). Can anyone recommend any fun date ideas where you can take a breastfeeding baby? I’m willing to be adventurous and try different things!

Thank you 😊

We found bowling to be quite good for taking small babies and children on dates for the following reasons:
One person goes at a time, so other can watch baby
There's seating, so can breastfeed on demand
It's loud, so if baby cries, no one is that bothered
It's not smokey
Some bring food and drink to you
Score of the game is kept automatically
Not weather dependent as it's inside
