Getting Papmered W/ Strickly Bfed Baby?

Feed your baby and dash out for a while. Your husband can look after things. Your baby is 2 months old so you know approximately how many hours she goes in between feedings. You should have plenty of time for a half hour massage or a mani/pedi. One thing I always loved was going to a hair salon. Not so much for a hair cut, but I love laying back and getting my hair washed. To me, that is so relaxing. Get your hair trimmed, dried and styled, go back home looking beautiful and feeling great.
You deserve it!
Go out with a girlfriend for a bite to eat or just take the time to pamper just yourself.
I don't want to sound mean, but you don't have to take the baby with you. It's possible for her to be fed and happy and sleep and not even know you are gone for a couple of hours.
It won't hurt either one of you.

Treat yourself. Recharge your batteries. Take care of YOU so you can take care of everyone else.

Best wishes!

If you know that you have 2 hours between feedings, that's enough time to go for a haircut, a pedicure or something like that. If you can bring hubby or someone along so that you can drive there, feed baby in car and then go in for your beauty treatment, lunch with a friend or whatever, you can do that. Have a date night with hubby - even if it just means going out for pizza at a time you know baby is likely to sleep.

If your husband could care for her right after a feeding you could get a massage in easy:)

I bring someone along (my mom or husband mostly) that can hold the baby and take care of needs other than feeding them while I'm getting taken care of. I will also time things during naps when I can, if they fall asleep in the car on the way there then my someone will sit in the car with them while they sleep in their carseat or I'll put them in the stroller and they'll watch them there. That way they are close to me if they need to be fed but if they don't need anything from me they've got someone to watch them. Or if it is something close that I know is between feedings I will leave them at home long enough for me to go. I've got 3 kids and none of them have had a bottle ever in their life. I've always been able to find a way to get things done for me, even the non-fun things like dentist & drs apts, this way.

As long as your little one is pretty predictable, you could def do a feed and run and get a pedicure or manicure easily.

I don't see why you can't go get a massage and have your daughter in the stroller or car seat in the massage room with you. I also found that if I went to a hair salon that did mani/pedi that the smell wasn't that bad. Do you have an Elizabeth Arden Red Door near you. I know they are expensive, but I've been to multiple locations in the Maryland and Virginia area and I never recall a chemical smell anywhere in the salon.

I EBF'd three little girls. For the first months, "me" time was brief, if at all. But you can leave her for an hour or two. Use the time wisely and make sure it actually refreshes you: exercise? pedicure? a walk? Library time? a nap? You may not even have to leave the house, as long as you are doing something to truly rejuvenate yourself.

Hi K.,

I take my 1 year old son with me when I get my nails done or a pedicure. It does feel like me time since he's not a problem for me as well. I hope that you'll be able to have some me time soon!:o)
