With your baby everywhere

You have just become a mother, your daily routine has been transformed, and your thoughts are focused on one goal: the baby. It's logical, your child is now the most important thing. But don't forget that you are still the same woman, with hobbies and leisure habits that contribute to your happiness.

Being a mother doesn't mean you have to give up those pleasures of life. You may have to adapt some of them to the new circumstances, but motherhood cannot become a sacrifice and a renunciation of the woman you are. Plus, many of those hobbies can now be shared with your son or daughter.

Gone are the days when mothers had to stay confined at home taking care of their babies 24 hours a day. Innovations in accessories for moving and traveling with children allow families to enjoy leisure activities from the baby's first month of life.

Some things you can do with your baby

1. Running. If you are one of those women who enjoy running, used to running several kilometers every afternoon, you can continue doing it alone or with your little one. Baby strollers are increasingly sturdy and with better cushioning. There are even specific models for running with your children.
2. Going to the movies. If you like movies, your baby will probably like them too. You can enter any movie theater in Spain with your baby in your arms and of course, breastfeed when needed. Your baby will most likely fall asleep in your lap while you enjoy the movie. The "Sesión Teta" initiative makes going to the movies with moms and babies even easier. This project, which is reaching Spanish screens, promotes sessions where children's cries won't matter, and where the temperature and sound will be adjusted to the children's needs.
3. Hiking and mountain walks. Sun, nature, and fresh air are beneficial for both adults and children. Hiking in the mountains or going on walks with babies is now easier with the backpacks and baby carriers available in the market. A very comfortable way to share another of your hobbies with your child.
4. Eating out. Your baby may not be able to taste the dishes at your favorite restaurant, that's clear, but they can accompany you to your favorite restaurant so you can enjoy the menu. As a couple, it's a pleasure you don't have to give up either.
5. Any other activity that comes to mind, that you enjoy doing and is not harmful to health, surely there is a way to share it with your newborn. You just have to adapt it a little to the new circumstances.

During the first few months of your baby's life, you may feel overwhelmed by the level of dependency established between the two of you. But remember, the best thing for your baby is to have a happy mother who conveys her joy to him or her.
