Practice Grocery Shopping With Your New Baby
Submitted by
Kim
If you haven't gone to the grocery store yet, make your first trip a practice run. Use a shopping cart, but just buy a treat for yourself. That way, when you actually have to go grocery shopping, you'll know you can do it. There are two ways to approach the cart:
1. Wear your baby in a front carrier or sling and push the cart.
2. Put the entire infant car seat in the cart. Make sure it doesn't wobble.
Don't try to be a hero and carry your baby in your arms while also picking up the groceries. The shopping cart is your friend.
