[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there anybody else who thinks it's ridiculous to do "activities" with a baby?  Do what you want and baby will be stimulated.[/quote]

I second this, though I think using the word "ridiculous" may seem a tad bit too harsh.

At this stage of your child's life, if you take him out on daily outings, you as a mother are mostly doing it for your own benefit vs. your child's admit it. Nothing is wrong w/that by the way.

Your baby could care less whether he is at home on the floor doing "tummy time" or being pushed in a stroller at the zoo.

And to take a baby this age to story time doesn't make any sense.

An infant this age cannot sit still and be quiet unless he is napping.

I was a nanny for a woman who required me to take her 5 mos. old infant to weekly story times and it was hell. The baby couldn't sit still and screamed and cried. The library was not the place for a baby that age!

She also required daily zoo outings which didn't make sense either because the baby didn't know the difference between looking at elephants vs. looking at the trees in the backyard.

Anyway, if the weather is nice, I do encourage taking the baby outside just for the fresh air and for the parent to get out of the house.  :-) [/quote]
