[blparent] food shopping with a baby in arms

[Erin Rumer]

All I've got to say is God bless the carrier.  It's truly the way to go with
an infant and baby stays happier a lot longer when they're attached to you.
I still prefer to do this with my 22 month old son because he enjoys the
movement and I can play silly games and sing songs with him while in the
store.  I do receive help from an employee and I feel better about my son
being attached to me rather than in a cart that could move away from me if
I'm trying to check-out a product.  I'll put my son in the cart if I'm with
a friend or my husband more often but the other awesome thing about a
carrier is that if baby is tired they can easily crash in the carrier which
makes life much easier.

Hi,
Dear parents, I'd like to ask you how do you manage  food shopping with an
infant baby? How do you handle all  of those  things like a stroller,  or a
baby carrier, shopping cart and a cane in  other hand? Are you getting any
assistance in a store when you are with a baby?

Now I come in a store with my backpack and an assistant is provided. She
walks with me through a store, we're kinda pushing a cart together and I
currently have no problem with my grocery shopping. I'm just trying imagine
how it's going to be with my baby in arms. Please  share your  experiences
and tips. What the best approach would be asking for an assistance with a
baby in arms- it will be  an absolutely new situation as for me as for them.

Thank you very much to all.

Tatyana.
