Baby arrived just a few months ago. He is very small, very cute, and you don’t necessarily want or have the possibility of having him babysat on New Year’s Eve. However, you would still like to celebrate it with your friends. So how do you get organized?
1. Invite friends home
The advantage is that you do not upset baby’s habits and that you will be able to pay special attention to him during the preparations. On the other hand, it is better not to receive too many people. It will be less tiring for baby the same evening, and for you the next morning!
2. Get invited
It is also a possibility. You have nothing to prepare, nothing to put away. But make sure that there will be a room available, and sufficiently isolated, for baby to sleep. Plan the meal, the baby monitor, and everything that will help him fall asleep. Do not forget either the basket which will allow you not to disturb your little angel too much on the return journey by car.
3. Should he stay awake until midnight?
Honestly, it won’t be pleasant for you or for him. Your baby doesn’t really care when a new year begins, he especially needs a good number of hours of sleep. Of course, that doesn’t stop you from swerving by putting it down a bit later than usual. At this time, bet on a good nap during the day.
4. How to dress it?
It’s party ! So yes, if that makes you happy, don’t hesitate to put baby on his 31. But don’t forget his comfort. Avoid clothing with sequins, those that sting or scratch. No need to disguise it as a gift package!
5. Drink or breastfeed, you have to choose
In general, it is reasonable not to drink to excess when your baby is around, even if he is sleeping soundly. But that you want to drink champagne with your friends is quite legitimate. To prevent alcohol from getting into breast milk, plan to express enough breast milk ahead of time.
6. For him too, it’s party time
Baby is with you tonight, so best of all he’s having a good time too. If it is likely that he eats before you, you can still make him participate in the aperitif by planning small bites that will delight his taste buds too. Breadsticks for dipping in all kinds of flavors, for example, ham rolls, mini-puff pastry, etc. Watch out for peanuts, cashews and others, as well as toothpicks and small sticks.
7. Don’t forget it’s there
Ahhhh… baby is in bed, let’s go for the big fiesta !!! Uh, no, not quite … Of course you have the right to have fun and there is no question of whispering to avoid waking him up. But you won’t be able to push the volume up to dance on Rihanna either. In which case, it was necessary to think of a keep it. Think about it for next year!
