While baby is still small enough for the infant carrier, take advantage of your relative “freedom” to get your toenails done. In the East Bay, we have Cure Spa that offers special service to mommies (like access to a baby swing).

Going tomorrow sans kids and I can’t wait!
Seriously?!??! They have a baby swing? I am SO there. Awesome!
Anyone wanna join next wednesday for the new mama special?
That sounds so cool, though I’d be happy to just find a place w/o the horrendous fumes!
I agree, fumes are a problem.
I just did this this week, baby in sling and it was AWESOME. Great idea!
And welcome to the newest rookie human!
PS Some places are well-ventilated, some are not. But if you go 10 am on a Tuesday and you’re the only one…you’re in luck.
I have done this a number of ways and can honestly recommend them all:
1) Baby in bucket seat. Did this with Milo when he was 8 days old at a schmancy, ventilated place. It was great.
2) Baby at home. Alec had a few “training day” moments when I left him alone with a small Holden and enjoyed a pedicure.
3) Baby playing nearby. During one of my pedicures sans Holden (at less than a month old), Whitney and her moms group pals had their babies along. Some sitting on laps, some sitting on floors — what a difference a few months make.
4) Baby in lap or sling. I’m glad to hear Mom101 had success with this version, because for me, it’s only theoretical!
