Should I take my 10-month-old to a playgroup?

A playgroup can be helpful for a 10-month-old, but it's important to have realistic expectations. At this age, babies typically play in parallel — side-by-side but in their own world, not with each other. The real benefit is for you: meeting other parents, breaking routine, and exposing your baby to a new environment.
When choosing one: look for a small group (4-6 babies), a clean space, age-appropriate toys (large blocks, push toys, sensory materials), and optional participation. Your baby might feel uncomfortable in an unfamiliar place — that's completely normal; they'll adjust within a few sessions. Skip if there's fever, diarrhea, or active illness. Once weekly, 30-45 minutes is a good start.
