This is about socializing.I do not visit family centers yet think that Elon is too young for this yet for he cannot play…

Sometimes you just gotta venture out of your comfort zone. Socializing him around people and even loud noises could benefit him. It seems tough but I have three one of which who has special needs and it was nerve jolting in the beginning to venture out but the older kids needed to get back to their regular outings. I was worried someone would trip over his feeding tube or something catastrophic but once I was used to it we rocked it. My husband works in the oil field so it wasn’t really ever an option to wait for daddy to be home although yes it’s easier to do outings with him. I think a lot of my apprehension was that in public many people would ask “what’s wrong with your son” and that bothered me, but eventually I faced those fears and got outta my funk!

@mybabybear You are right.I have to sometimes put myself in somebody else's shoes to see the situation from another angle.Thanks for your feedback,may the force be with us😉

I am a single mother with no father in the picture. You just have to do what you have to do. Don't stress about these things. You are not alone. When baby starts to get fussy, try baby wearing. My son has sensory issues so too much being in a busy grocery store used to (he's gotten better) trigger him. Perhaps go shopping for the necessities first and then visit other stores with hubbys help later. Eventually you just need to face the fears. 😘

@mybabybear thanks.Shopping wirj baby does not seem super easy,only when daddy is with us though.Perhaps i want too much at once....when i plan shopping i need to visit several places but believe this is too much for my boy.He does not start crying but shows his tiredness or anger.He actually requires lots of atrention ,wants his mom around 24/7 and i cannot abandon him...

Just do it. Start with the easy stuff like shopping. It's your first child, so it's normal.
