I’m a first time/SAHM and I feel like I’m running out of things to do with my son. I don’t want him to get bored of doing the same things every day nor do I want to hinder his development. What do you ladies do with your 9 month olds? Let me know if I’m overthinking this too lol 🥴😅

I'm in the same boat lol my little girl is 10 months and I'm out of ideas. One thing we did recently that she seemed interested in was putting some cereal in the food processor and letting her play with it like it was sand. That's all I've really got for ideas at the moment though lol

Im sure you are doing a fine job momma! That’s how I felt with my first. :) U can lay on the floor and just watch your child explore.. you can sit them on your lap facing you and sing nursery rhymes. My kids both love that. You can read books, take them outside for walks and describe things u see.. get your pots and pans out and something to bang them.. did that the other day with my 9month old and loved it!

Also they have fun just smearing food all over there high chair! Lol

Peek a boo is great too! I also got a book at the library to help me get creative. ;) they had one on fun activities cuz I also have a bored 3yr old. Lol.

My daughter is 9 months as well and we've recently started going to the splash pad at the neighborhood park. I thought she would be too young for it. But she loves the water!

If your okay with a mess a fun activity I like to do. Sit her in a kitchen or outside and give her pudding to smear its like paint so a motor skill. I hate paint has toxins and things in it. I also fill bowls of water and put food coloring in it and let him splash around. I live in a small town with one park with no baby swing I get creative so if you like crazy ideas message me lol

A doula once told me that babies don’t get bored like adults do. Sometimes we train babies to expect to be entertained all the time.Their brain is at a different level than ours. They need stimulation but not too much. Talking, reading, singing…it does the job. Good luck!
