Get a Pedicure With New Baby in Tow

While baby is still small enough for the infant carrier, take advantage of your relative "freedom" to get your toenails done. Once baby begins toddling, a pedicure will be truly impossible.

You might be lucky enough to live near a spa that offers special services to mommies (like access to a baby swing).

If not, here are a few ways to make do:

Place baby in the car seat on a chair next to you.

Hold baby in your arms during the treatment.

Wear baby in a sling.

Bring a friend, sibling, or parent along and ask them to walk baby around with block in the stroller while you enjoy yourself.
