Q&A: fighting the new-mom boredom

Deanna writes:

"My sister is expecting her first child at the end of January.  Due to my husband's transfer to a VERY faraway state (think pineapples) around the same time, he and I worked it out so that I could move back to Maine for about two months when my nephew is born to help my sister take care of her baby and then will go on to meet up with my husband later.  She and I are both excited about this and I can't wait to be an auntie, but we do have a big concern.  The problem is twofold, and we have already discussed the first aspect with our doctors: we both suffer from various forms of adult ADHD and depression.  The second is money--cash will be tight for her family and for me, and my sister lives in a very small basement-level apartment with low windows in an isolated complex.  We know that after the first three weeks or so, we will be experiencing massive cabin fever.  But how can we find things to do during the day for brief (maybe an hour and a half) outings that are a) free or cheap, and b) safe to take a small baby to?  We are confident that we can both manage the depression aspect--she is very comfortable discussing her fears about postpartum depression with her doctor and developing coping strategies, but we think we're going to drive each other bonkers sitting around the house all day.  If any of your readers have suggestions for national programs that would provide a reason to leave the house for a short period of time, or if any of them are from the Portland, ME area and have suggestions specific to the city.  I have no children of my own, so please feel free to tell me if the baby is just too young for quick trips out of the house in such chilly weather!"

I think you two are in great shape, and your being there will be the best thing that can happen to her. I say that because the number one factor in developing postpartum depression is lack of support. I think the researchers think that means that you're not getting any emotional support from your partner and family and friends, but I think it also just means being physically isolated. Talking on the phone and being on the internet are wonderful things that have probably prevented PPD for some women, but there's really nothing like being able to carry on a real-life conversation with another adult who's in the same room you are.

I wouldn't necessarily worry about the ADHD, since young babies do things in such short spurts anyway that it may actually be an asset! By the time you found the remote control to watch that 2-hour DVD, the baby would need to be fed again and you'd have another load of laundry to throw in. (I'm not trying to be facetious, but you really don't need to have any attention span to tend a young baby. And any attention span you do have will atrophy in those first few months anyway.)

My first couple of suggestion are pretty winter-specific and location-independent. You can always go out and walk around at the mall (assuming the baby's born full-term and doesn't have any respiratory issues). Your sister should wear him close to her body and not let anyone else touch him, poke at him, cough on him, etc. That's why you should go to m place like the mall with plenty of room so you're not all packed in together.

My other suggestions are your local bookstores and coffee shops. They tend to be gathering places for moms and caregivers and little kids, and you can sit and pretend to be adults for an hour or so while the baby sleeps on one of you. If your sister is nursing, they tend to be pretty safe places to nurse without worrying about the coats and diaper bags and stuff so that she can get him latched on without flashing the whole place, and if she does flash a little inadvertently, people tend not to notice.

I know someone out three's got to have Portland, ME-specific suggestions. Anyone with those, and also other winter-based ideas?

I'm not FROM Portland, but I've been there on vacation. As i recall there are some great art museums in the area. Many museums near me have a day once a week where they open the doors for free to the current exhibits or at the very least discount or buy one/get one tickets. I'd look into those options and find out if any are available. Again, wearing the baby in a sling, etc., but often those are nice, pleasant, quiet places to walk and look and I would say would be great for letting the baby nap. Good luck!

Libraries. The libraries around us have great programs for babies, even teeny ones. I felt sheepish bringing my 4 month old to the library in January and he was by no means the youngest baby there (though we live in a very nerdy little town).

At the library, look at the community announcements bulletin board. With any luck you will find announcements for other groups that will fit the bill.

If your sister is breastfeeding, look for nursing support groups. Not all of them are for exclusive breastfeeders; there are a few around us that consider their main job to be to help moms get as much breastmilk into their babies as possible but without insisting that supplementing is evil. Look for those.

Help her investigate moms groups in her area. Some will be national (MOMS club, Mothers and More, etc.), some will be local (meetup groups, etc.), some will be age limited (MOPS)...one might work for her. Google to start and see where the links take you. Same thing goes for other kid programs; there are national things like Kindermusik, Gymboree, Music Together, The Little Gym, and then there are local versions of all of those. Most have a "free trial" option, and all will be happy to tell you at what age the baby can start to come. Even if money is tight, a free trial sprinkled in a dull week can give some info (and then you get to scour the bulletin boards there for more fun stuff going on).

And pounce on moms with babies around town! Ask them what they are doing, where they are getting support and info. When moms find something that's working they are usually thrilled to share.

Have fun! What a beautiful gift for you both.

I never had a winter baby, so no advice about that, but then again, I never had a sister to come help out with a new baby either, so I just wanted to say, Yay to you!, Deanna, that's a beautiful thing you're doing. Babies seemed like so much work to me that boredom didn't set in, but sometimes the blahs did. Mostly, though, I was just desperate because it seemed like I always needed three or four hands at one time to accomplish what needed doing. So, again, your being there will mean so much to your sister, even aside from that awesome bond of sisterhood, which I have admired so much in my own daughters.
I think Moxie's short trips sound great with "the right sort of baby", but keep in mind that there's always the possibility that nephew will be a non-sleeper or a constant howler. In which case, I would advise fewer trips with baby but more (brief) trips out individually to get away, some peace, some sanity. You can spell each other.
Also, make sure you stock up on indoor fun (and food!) in case the weather is so inclement as to preclude trips for a bit. I find a film "series" is more fun than isolated movies, so you could, for instance, check out a whole bunch of Katharine Hepburn/Spencer Tracey movies or Hitchcock movies or 6 versions of Pride and Prejudice or all the Indiana Jones movies, etc. Having good tunes around can help relieve the stress and isolation, too.
Best wishes on your new nephew and your move (are we all very jealous? I think so!)

[SarcastiCarrie]

What you are doing for your sister is great. I wish someone had come to my house for 20 minutes a day so we could talk. I found myself telling my husband who won on Jeopardy! and what the final question was and realized I had no life at all.

Just a tiny piece of advice (and since you appear really in tune with your sister anyway, probably not required....but) remember that it is her baby and you are there to help her. Let her set the pace about how much and what kinds of things she wants you to do. She might be territorial about bath or soothing or something and if, heaven forbid, you did it "better" it can diminish her confidence (or maybe that was just me). Just be sensitive and keep the communication open.

[Mary Joan Koch]

I don't live in Portland but I have frequently visited my brother there. It is a truly charming city, with a real downtown. I have been a children's librarian, so I echo the library suggestion. If you haven't been in children's libraries lately, you will be amazing what wonderful places they are for parents and kids. I looked up the Portland Library site http://www.portlandlibrary.com/
They have a program called Finger Fun, with finger plays and nursery rhymes for babies from birth on.

[Maria]

These are all great ideas. I also have to say, you may find you need less distraction than you think. I know I did. If your sister sleeps when the baby sleeps (which I HIGHLY recommend) she will be more protected from both boredom and depression. Since she's lucky enough to have you willing to come help, she won't have to tend to all those non-baby household chores and will have the luxury of getting to really get tuned in to her baby's rhythms of sleeping, eating, and alertness, and that can only be good for everyone.

You may have a tougher time, because you will be stuck with more of those non-cute tasks like cooking, doing dishes and laundry, you won't have as great a rationale for all those naps (though I'd encourage you to take some anyway), and you won't have all those primal mother hormones making you fascinated by every flutter of the baby's little eyelashes. Of course those hormones are a double-edged sword because they do have their lows as well as highs, but I found if I was aware of it the lows were more manageable than I'd feared. And they're temporary.

I second the library/museum suggestions, and also encourage all three of you to go to La Leche meetings. You'll be welcome as a helpful interested party, and those meetings are invaluable for connecting with other new mothers and babies. It's such a great feeling to be in a room with a bunch of other people who understand what you're experiencing and who don't care if you haven't washed your hair.

Good luck, and congratulations on all the new and exciting stuff coming up! I think you and your sister will have a great time.

[emily]

Moxie and the previous commenters are right on. And I would suggest good TV series as well as film series - shorter intervals. But I also wanted to say that a little time outdoors every day, even a very short period, will do wonders. So try to get a little walk in most days if you can, weather permitting. If the baby is in a sling (especially a fleece one) and a fleece bunting and a warm hat and zipped up to the neck under mama's jacket, s/he should be fine. (again, assuming full term.) And the fresh air on mama and auntie's faces - even 15 minutes - will help you both.

[emily]

and I forgot to say - kudos to you for doing this, and congratulations to you AND your sister! I hope it is a time you both look back on fondly and draw strength from for many years.

[Emily]

How awesome, Deanna, that you can do this with and for your sister! Good for you thinking ahead about things to do, too - I was not even close to being so on top of things when I was expecting.

I just want to second (or third or fourth) the library idea - there are wonderful programs for caregivers and babies at ours and we made so many friends and acquaintances there (many of whom we still run into at the park, the store, etc.). Museums are great, too, as are bookstores. I've found in our area that the local non-chain stores are the ones with regular singing or story times, so that might be an option for you.

Moms/breastfeeding groups are also so wonderful. We went to one for only a couple of weeks at a hospital (not the one I gave birth in), and it was so helpful to feel like I was not alone in my concerns, problems, sleep depravation, etc. That group was so key to eliminating any isolation I felt at the time.

Also, some movie theaters have showtimes that are just for moms and kids, and I loved that. For us, it was in the morning (matinee price), and it was a current movie, and the lights were kept on but very dimly, so that I could see what I was doing if I needed to nurse, etc. And no one cares about noise, because everyone else's babies/toddlers are carrying on, too!

I live in Ottawa where we have loooong, cold winters. My firsborn was a January baby, and my second was a November baby.

I'm one of those people who really has to get out and about to feel my best. I'm also slightly predisposed to getting seasonal depression as the days get shorter, and getting outside mid-day helps with that a lot.

Two things that saved my sanity were my cuddlywrap and the purchase of an XL winter jacket I could zip up right over it.

I'd just put my little bundle-of-boy in his wrap, zip my jacket up behind him, and off we'd go for nice long walks. I always knew how warm/cool he was, because we had the exact same material as coverage. His little face was against my chest, nice and cozy.

As long as you leave plenty of opening at the top so that you can see baby and make sure there's enough air flow, it's safe and wonderful.

To save money, you could pick up a second-hand coat, or borrow one from somebody a couple of sizes bigger than you.

[katie]

Ditto on getting outside, even for a few minutes, unless the weather is really just rotten. I have one winter baby and another one on the way. Even though it always seemed like this huge effort to actually put on socks and shoes, just taking a walk around the block always improved my day when my boy was a newborn -- still does, actually.

And libraries.

And Netflix.

[ikate]

I had a september baby so I was on leave through christmas. My life-savers were the art museum, the mall, target and just plain old walks. After the first 3 weeks or so, I HAD to get out of the house every day. Had to or I'd start crawling out of my skin. On brisk days I would throw her in the sling and wrap her up in a blanket and go for walks through the nighborhood. Colder days I would head to the mall, target or the museum and you'd be surprised at how many of the same faces I saw at those places - it was a pretty common thing to do for new mothers!

We have a pretty amazing art museum for a smaller-town (and it's FREE everyday!) and I can't say enough about taking her there - during the day it's mostly school groups and elderly folks anyway. Lots of great things for me to look at, a shreik wouldn't bother most people and a fantastic staff. Some would even seek us out to see how she was growing. Best of all, it is within walking distance of our house.

Finally, encourage your sister to take a few outings on her own. When my husband went back to work, I would hand her off when he got home and go for a short walk by myself. The first time I was sobbing by the end of the first block - hormone rush; but these walks were a fantastic break from feeling smothered by the needs of a new babe. And trips alone to the grocery store became a golden reward for making it through the week!

[michaela]

Ooh, this question was made for me - I'm just outside Portland and have a 17-month-old. We are literally having a new door put on our house this fall to increase the amount of light in our living room (aka, the place we spend most of our at-home time w/the kiddo) during the looong winter. So there's that.

Other things that saved my sanity last winter: the new mom drop-in at Ballard House, the birthing center on Spring Street. It's Mondays and Thursdays from noon to two. No one cares if you flash them; everyone's got a boob out and is talking about poop, sleep and sex. It is the #1 thing that got me through those first months. Oh, best part: it's free/donation. I dropped a few bucks in when I could, but they are really low-key about that part.

Finding a couple new mom friends and alternating houses when the babies were teeny was fantastic. As was getting outside every day, even in the biting cold.

Another option I have recently discovered: Mom to Mom. (www.momtomomofme.org) It costs $20 to join for a whole year and it is so, so, so worth it. I wish I'd joined when my daughter was an infant. There are many open playgroups (including one that's shaping up for Mondays), mom's night out events and a listserv that is incredible.

One more online resource for meeting real-life local mamas (not to mention posting questions in the wee hours): Maine Mamas. It's an EZBoard forum; you have to sign up for EZBoard and then check your EZBoard inbox for the approval message, but it's a good group of mostly AP-type moms (and a few dads). Lots of playgroups planned there, too. I think this link will take you there: http://p221.ezboard.com/bmainemamas

I've also seen a bunch of new moms hanging out at the new Whole Foods... it wasn't open when my daughter was born, so we did our loitering and watching wild-eyed for anyone who might talk to us at Wild Oats. We didn't brave the Children's Museum much - it stressed me out - although the art museum was a big hit.

Other stuff: La Leche meets in Portland on Wednesday mornings. And there's a breastfeeding support group run by Maine Med; it was totally lousy and in fact distinctly unhelpful when I went, but I've heard it's much better now. IIRC, it's on Tuesdays. So you really CAN put together almost a whole week's worth of free activities just with that stuff and a story hour here and there.

I hope that helps. FEEL FREE to email me - michaela (at) gmail (dot) com - if you want more local contacts/info/person to hang with in the dead of winter.

[michaela]

duh, i gave my email addy incorrectly there: it's michaelamc (at) gmail (dot) com

[Joy]

Just thought I'd mention that you may want to consider finding things to do/ errands to run by yourself from time to time and be mindful to let new mom + new dad + baby have plenty of quiet, alone baby oogling time. Usually when I first bring a baby home I love to have lots of visitors and help and companionship, but some of my favorite moments are those shared with my husband and our new little one (and subsequently older siblings) in wonder of the new life we've created and getting to know him or her. Just a thought to keep in mind.

[Fahmi]

The winter when my son was born had been a mild winter, but two days after we came home from the hospital, the winter turned brutal. We had four massive snowstorms in a row and blistering cold for the rest of the season. I went for walks on non-snowy or non-rainy days. I wore him in a sling, and the walks were short - two or three blocks, but invigorating. I also walked to local Indian restaurants where I would get some papadoms and lassi as a treat.

As long as I kept the baby in the sling, I enjoyed little snacks in the restaurant, and since they were neighborhood places, they got used to seeing me. I also treated trips to the drug store a treat.

[Mary Joan Koch]

I forgot to mention Portland has the Children's Museum of Maine,
http://www.childrensmuseumofme.org/

[AmyinMotown]

My baby (who is now two) was born in December and people don't reliably salt their sidewalks around here. Which meant even walks with the baby felt dangerous on all the ice. It SUCKED.

I also have ADD and let me tell you, not at ALL a problem with a little baby. Being able to switch gears fast is actually great.

I like all the suggestions for art museums. I would have loved that, and it was lots harder to go as she got older and now it's like "forget it" because she likes to run and yell, which are not exactly embraced by your average museum patron. I wish I'd gone more when she was little enough to be in the sling and just sleep. Grocery shopping was a blast with her in the sling, too. Really, just getting out is good for all of you, and for very teensy babies, just being snuggled and talked to and looking at different things is very beneficial--if you find it interesting, they'll be happy just to be with you.

I would suggest memberships to places like the art museum or science museum as new-baby gifts. And libraries are miracles.

Coffeehouses were great. I felt like I'd conquered the world when I spent a very pleasant afternoon with my month-old daughter sleeping at my feet as I wrote thank-you notes in a local coffee place. Check some out to see which feel the most mom-friendly.

Also, since you are an awesome sister, make sure you let your sister and her partner (I am assuming she has one) get out by themselves for an evening every now and again. Even if all they can afford is to go for a walk together, I found those little times alone with my husband were so nice. It reminded me of why we did this kid thing in the first place and that I liked him as more than just someone else to hold the baby! If she's single, make sure she gets some alone time.

[Jennifer]

I'm a librarian from the mountains of northern Utah so I am thrilled to see all of the comments about the public library and getting outside even when it's cold. I would take some massively long walks with my November born daughter when the temp outside was only 18 or 20 degrees. Because she was in a Baby Bjorn, we both always stayed warm. Just make sure that the baby has mittens and a hat!

One thing that I would do is walk, walk, walk, and then get on the bus and ride, ride ride to warm up and get back home. I learned a lot about my town during those months of walking and riding!

[Deanna]

Thank you all for the wonderful suggestions and pointers! I should have been more clear, though, and mentioned in my email that I will be renting a room from a friend who lives 15 minutes away and not living with my sister. We also agreed that on days that her fiance' isn't working, I don't need to come over, and that if he doesn't keep his second job I'll probably leave in the early evening to pursue my own interests. So what we're calling "Newborn Boot Camp" will just be getting from 8am to 5pm! Michela, thank you so much for the Portland-specific advice, particularly that tidbit about Maine Medical Center--my sister decided to have her baby at Mercy Hospital because of all she had heard about Maine Med's insensitive and cold maternity unit.

[SJ]

Wow, that's really awesome - I'm so glad you and your sister have such a great relationship. I love my sister but this kind of thing would probably not work for us. It would be awesome if my best friend could do something like this though - even for a week.

Anyway, I had a spring baby (and about to have another spring baby) so I can't speak to winter. But it was a very rainy spring, and so I sought out indoor spots too - the most helpful thing was my new moms group, which was free and very helpful. It looks like there was a portland suggestion above - it is the best place to go to just get used to getting out of the house with a baby. The library is a great place to hear about other programs, and also to get free passes for area museums (or at least very discounted) - for example, in the Boston area, I just got a pass for the Children's museum to get us in for $2 each, instead of $8-10 each.)

Have fun and enjoy your new niece or nephew! Also try to plan another trip for a year or so out so you can enjoy how much he or she has grown!

Your sister may also want to have a name of a therapist specializing in post-partum/pregnancy related depression if she doesn't already - sometimes just knowing you have someone to call means you might not even need to call (I've seen that in myself, anyway, where just knowing I have an appointment even a few weeks away seems to help me get through day-to day things with my own strength/or by calling on other support systems.)

[michaela]

I just wanted to clarify that I actually had a good experience delivering at Maine Med (I'd planned to deliver at Mercy but my 6-weeks-early darling had other plans); the L&D team was terrific. Maternity ward and LCs? Not so much.

[sue]

Not sure if anyone has mentioned Moms Club International or Moms and More - both are franchise type clubs with lots of local chapters. With my first, often the only thing that goy me out of bed (ppd) was the promise of a playgroup..

[Kate]

I just wanted to add that there are probably going to be a lot of (well meaning?) strangers who will tell you that it is too cold out to have the baby out, or that the baby should not be exposed to other people/places. Just be prepared to chirp something like "Oh, the pediatrician says it's fine!" or "Doctor's orders for mommy!" as you're excusing yourself....

There is actually a pediatrician in my neighborhood who tells mothers to keep their babies home for several weeks(regardless of weather, but esp in the cold). I personally think this is a recipe for PPD. And also shtick you can only pull when it's a first-time mother--anyone on their second kid knows it is absolutely impossible request.

[Nutmeg]

My friend is a pediatrician and sees a lot of really, really sick kids in the hospital, so forgive pediatricians who recommend parents not take their tiny babies out, especially during cold and flu season. Those doctors often have to take care of the very rare child who does end up gravely ill because they got sick when they were very new. I chose caution because I could. With a second child, I probably can't... so I'll just do what has to be done then.

Just a glimmer of hope for your sister on the PPD front. I have struggled with poorly controlled major depressive disorder all my life. I had a prescription already written out for my possible PPD and a husband ready to fill it if he thought I was heading down that path. So you can escape PPD even when you've struggled with depression (as well as PMDD) all your life.

Good luck, and you are a great sister!

[jill]

Our hospital had great parent/baby classes that met once a week. They were life-saving for me. Not only did I meet tons of moms in the area with babies the same age as mine, I also learned a lot, and had a place to ask questions when I was feeling overwhelmed. It was so nice to hear that others were having the same issues I was. And to get advice from others going through it all.

So call your hospital, or other local hospitals and see if they have classes for new parents!

[Heidi]

It sounds as if there are enough actual suggestions for activities and support, so I'm just going to pass along one of the best pieces of advice I got when I had my son 2 1/2 years ago: Get out with the baby EVERY DAY. (This must be modified, of course, if there are health issues or massive snow/ice storms involved.) The advice was given to me by someone I trusted, and so I took it as my challenge to find somewhere to go with the baby each day; he was a winter baby too, so it was even more of a challenge.

I swear, it saved my sanity, which was pretty precarious anyway due to sleep deprivation, nursing woes, and the whole 180-degree identity shift. It wasn't just the act of getting out--it was the fact of having something to look forward to, and the mental creativity of seeking out new venues. In addition to library, coffee houses, and mall, one of the other places I found was an indoor track at the local university where I could walk laps with my son in his Bjorn or stroller. I'm still home with my son, and it's still just the rule that we go somewhere for part of every day. However, the days mostly plan themselves, due in part to the range of activities discovered and the social networks established in those first few months.

Most movie theatres now have a mommy and baby afternoon, cheap rates, very baby friendly, sound turned down a bit so as not to hurt babies ears

[Maureen]

Hi - I'm over here in sunny So Cal so I can't even remotely comprehend let alone comment on the winter/cold issue.

My only thought to share is that in the infant stage, this early on, I'd search out things that interest you rather than finding things that seem more child-oriented. If you go for the more adult stuff (pretty safe with an infant as they are actually pretty quiet) you may be able to avoid more germs. The child-friendlty stuff where there are lots of kids running around may not be the best environment for an infant and your sister's baby isn't going to be getting anything out of the child place at this stage anyway.

So, the museums sound great (less so the children's museums - there is time for those later), the coffee places, the mommy-matinees, etc. are great ideas for getting out.

Enjoy the experience - how wonderful you will be sharing this time and moment with your sister (and niece/nephew).

[Christina]

A page on my Birthing Your Baby childbirth education website lists Maine resources for parents. Since I'm in Central Maine, more of them are skewed that way, but there might be some ideas worth pursuing. I second the suggestion of the Birth Roots groups, and they also have lots of post-partum resources on their Local Resources page. Also the library times, La Leche League meetings and breastfeeding support meetings at the hospitals. I've heard great things about the Mom-to-Mom group in Portland and have really enjoyed having a parent educator come to my house thru the free Parents as Teachers program (parentsasteachers.org). Slings are great -even in cold weather to tuck baby into jacket and get outside. There are two Portland links to trails on my site: Trails in the Portland area and Healthy Maine Walks. Best wishes!
