Gadgets That Keep Your Baby Busy so You Can Work Out

As you have probably noticed, being a new mom is a full-time job. You aren't able to do the things you were able to do yesterday and this can be a bit frustrating especially when you are used to having so much freedom. While we can't give you an easy fix and help you get used to all of the changes going on in your life overnight, what we can do is help to make these changes easier for you to adapt to.

That's why we have decided to talk to you today about a few of our favorite gadgets that are going to keep your baby busy when you need a moment for yourself. Exercise is important and we want to make sure you are getting the proper amount of exercise so you can stay healthy and care for your baby as needed.

Books That Read to Them When You Can't
Books are a lot smarter these days. They aren't simply pieces of paper with text and photos that you need to help your baby turn the page and read for them. There are a large number of companies out there that are coming out with electronic books that are actually able to read to your child.

Especially if your child isn't yet old enough to understand what is being read, it's not important whether or not things are being read in order. A lot of books not only read the text when your child touches them but can also interact with the objects in the background. For instance, let's say your child is playing with a Winnie the Pooh book.

Your baby boy or girl simply touching Pooh Bear or Piglet may cause them to speak directly to your child. This can keep your baby busy for long period of time, allowing you to work out and not have to attend to them every moment. This is a great way for you to get that break you so badly need even if no one is around to lend you a helping hand.

Show Their Favorite Movies Even While on the Go

Even if you are trying to get exercise in while on the go, you can still entertain your child. One of the best ways to do so is to have their favorite movie playing. With so many portable DVD and Blu-Ray players on the market these days, you have plenty of options.

There are even types that are specifically made for children so you don't have to worry about them possibly dropping or damaging them. Shop around a bit and you're bound to find the perfect solution for you. They are something that can fit into any budget.

Gaming Systems on the Go: Nintendo 3DS

Another great way to keep your child entertained and happy while you are trying to work out is to have a portable gaming system. One of the most popular for young children is the Nintendo DS. There is actually a 3D option that came out recently that kids are all over.

They can play some of the classics such as Mario, which you can even enjoy taking part in; and there are a ton of new games coming out all of the time so you are never going to run out of options. These are perfect for in home use, in the car and even from the comfort of the stroller so you can go just about anywhere.

Exercise Bikes for You and Baby

If you are trying to work out but have an infant than you may want to find a way to incorporate them into your workout. While you can carry them as you work out, such as do squats; this can get quite tiring after some time.

This is why there are great options available for parents who need to keep their children close but not that close. Many exercise bikes work great because they have a space for your baby so you can actually rock your child to sleep as you are getting in your daily mile.

Strollers with Temperature Controls

Strollers are more comfortable than ever these days. Not only are they keeping your baby safe and sound, but they have some pretty amazing features showing up these days. Did you know some strollers are actually able to track the amount of heat and reduce or increase it based on your baby's needs?

With this kind of help, you are never going to have to worry about going for a walk and possibly getting your child sick. You will be able to rest assured that they are comfortable and safe from harm. Plus, you're able to focus more of your attention on your workout and keeping yourself healthy.
