Activity #85: Go to the market
Take baby to the grocery store for practice when you’re not totally desperate for a kitchen’s worth of food. Use a cart, but just buy a treat for yourself. That way, when you actually have to go grocery shopping, you’ll know you can do it.
Two ways to approach the cart:
- wear your baby in the bjorn and push the cart
- put the infant carrier in the cart. Make sure it doesn’t wobble.
Another handy grocery shopping tip is to ask them to bag all your cold stuff together in plastic and the rest in paper bags so if you need to prioritize what comes in the house and what stays in the car, you can do so easily.

Great idea! I have yet to take my baby to the store because it seems so daunting. This, I can do!
