Would you leave the baby unattended to go to the gym?

Yes or No?

Me - Yes, in this case because how is this different from going into the kitchen or the living room while its sleeping in the next room over.
If it was a super-big deal, I'd make a 'gym' advertisement. Teen girl to watch TV for 40-mins in my apartment while I'm next door. Be back in under an hour and have the baby monitor so your only concern is a fire and evacuation. |

I’ve worked out on my basement gym while my 9mo DD slept upstairs in a very large house. I only monitored through the camera system. As long as you can see hear and respond, I don’t see the big deal.

A 30 second walk? That is the walk from my apartment door to the elevator (about 7 or 8 apartments are in between).
Nope. If the gym was directly next door, sure. |

| Nothing wrong with what this person is doing. I go to the basement to watch TV or workout when my baby is asleep, and it sounds like that's farther than he's going. |

| My gut reaction is “absolutely not!” but honestly is it different than someone in a 6000 Sq ft house going to their basement gym when the nursery is on the 2nd floor? Is it different than my baby sleeping in his crib while I chat with a neighbor in my driveway or drink a glass of wine with my husband on my deck? |

| Seems ok to me. Only issue is maybe if a fire starts in the apartment and the parent is not there to smell it. |

| This isn’t that big of a deal, but that guy has a very short window left where this is no big deal. Once baby can climb out of the crib, I wouldn’t try this any more. |

| no doubt some noisy neighbor will not agree with this. I would hire someone. |

He only has the baby 3 nights a week. That leaves 4 nights per week that he can workout without leaving the baby unattended.
4 nights a week in the gym is plenty. I say this as someone who has completed 10 marathons, 4 half Ironman races, and a full Ironman. |
