You go for a walk, but you take your cell phone and scoot back if baby is suddenly desperate for you. Or you all go to the mall, and dad puts baby in a sling and walks around looking at iPhones while you try on shoes, bringing baby to you only if desperation sets in. You go to the gym, while dad and baby to for a walk or take a swim, and again, if baby gets desperate you get off the treadmill for 10 minutes, feed her, and then get back on. You go out to dinner, but you choose a place that's close by.
