Babygroup timings, what would you do?

[BiscuitsEqualbiggerknickers]

LO is 16 weeks and we are sitting in the car outside a babygroup and after a morning of babbling (on and off from about 4am, LO has finally fallen asleep.

Would you go in anyway or just sack it off? It seems every week there is a reason we don't make it sad

LO has had a couple of cat naps since 4am!!

We don't have a set sleep schedule and some days LO would be awake at this time (1pm), but whatever time the groups are it seems coincidentally LO falls asleep smile

I'd rather boil my head than go to a baby group so personally I'd take the excuse and run! seriously though if you wake lo they will be grumpy I'd just leave it this week.

Go in anyway. Might be nice to meet people and she'll probably stay asleep for a little while anyway?

At this age the groups are for you, not the baby. Take baby asleep in car seat in, stick in a quiet corner and enjoy a break and a chat with other mums.

If she'll stay asleep I'd go in and have a nice chat and a cuppa.

If you want to go then don't let the baby being asleep stop you. There are always plenty of asleep babies and chatting parents at these things. So particularly if it's always happening and you're starting to feel isolated then go for it. But if you don't want to go then don't feel guilty about not doing (even if baby awake - as pp said the group is more for you than baby at this age)

I'd just take the baby in asleep and chat to the other mums. Surely that's the point of going anyway as 16 week old babies don't do much or interact with each other.

Thanks all, wasn't sure what the etiquette was and was worried I'd be deemed as irresponsible, but I was hoping it would still be a good opportunity to meet other mums.

I think a room full of asleep babies, coffee, biscuits and other adults at a baby group is exactly what we all need!! All the other mums will envy you and your asleep baby whilst they watch their tea get cold insisting that's actually how they prefer it 😂

How was it, OP?
