Hey friends, it’s Quick Tip Tuesday where I answer a quick question submitted by you my awesome podcast listeners. If you have a question that you want me to answer on one of these Quick Tip Tuesday episodes, go to my website, Angel swan.com/quick tip and submit your question. So today’s question is from Vicki. And she asks, How do I get over the fear of leaving the house alone with my baby? That’s such a good question. Because you are not the only person who’s ever had that fear. Let me tell you, I definitely had it. And I know a lot of other moms are asking you this question too. So thank you for bringing that here today. So when you think about going out to I don’t know, run an errand with your baby, or even just getting out of the house for whatever reason, you need to think about, what is it specifically that is making you nervous, and then whatever that thing is, you just have to prepare for it as best you can. And take baby steps, taking little outings at like itty bitty outings at a time to work on that fear. Because the only way that you’re going to get over the fear of leaving your house with your baby, is to just do it, and do it over and over again, until it’s no longer uncomfortable or scary, you have to practice. So I’m just going to give you an example. If you’re afraid of driving your car with your baby in it, you might first practice just sitting in the car with them. You could even before you put them in the car, you can go and have your car seat inspected by someone who’s certified and Curtsies car seat safety. There’s usually someone at a local fire department who can do this, just call ahead of time to check and see when they’ll be there if they are there. So you might just be might also, you know, practice putting your baby in their car seat, getting them into the car, you don’t have to go anywhere, just practice getting in and out of the car with them. Baby steps, okay, then you can take the next step, just take a drive around the block, you don’t have to go far, just around the block, or just out of your driveway, you can move five feet, if you want to take that small of a step, that’s fine. Anything is progress, right? So you keep doing this, you keep going out and driving, you go farther and farther each time you go, and eventually won’t be so scary anymore. And that’s just one scenario. But you can apply this method of taking those baby steps to really anything that is causing you fear around leaving the house with your baby. So just ask yourself, what is it that is specifically triggering to you, and make a plan with baby steps to help you overcome that fear.
