Mama needs some help!

You could try painting? Playing with things that aren’t toys but still fun for littles? Cereals (good for textures and sensory play etc) put some in a sandwich bag, in a bottle, on a tray!

Hi, this just came up on my feed. I have a few suggestions, (with supervision)
- messy play- different textures, water, yogurt, cheerios, cooked pasta, oatmeal, paint etc..
- bubbles
- reading texture picture books and letting her feel it - make your voice animated.
- tissue box sensory toy
- singing
- peak a boo, hiding behind a blanket
- building blocks

If all else fails, the park or garden. There’s also free children centre play sessions you could attend.

It happened to me when my LO was around 6.5-7.5 months, she still do it sometimes, I believe its attachment! There was times she won’t like her dada too and would just cry and cry. One thing I did is put her down on her pack and play or crib safely and move around her. And Yes she would cry but as long as they are safe, its okay. (I do pick her up if she’s crying in pain or screaming on too of her lungs, but she does her small cries I just let her) you got this tho 🫶🏻

Messy play 😊 home made edible paint food coloring on cooked pasta home made play dough. My LG would sit on a pile of cooked spaghetti for a while. Or use berry to squish and finger "paint" and bubbles.

thank you, I will give this a try🤍

thank you, we're put shopping now so I'll grab some things to try when we're home 🤍

we have a play pen, she will go in there for 10 maybe 15 minutes. But I can't put any toys in with her or she cries, we're out on a walk now doing some shopping and then to the park. She will only last maybe 2 and a half hours out before she screams and wants out. I've tried carrying her while pushing the pram so she has a better view ect but she doesn't like that either. And she lasts about 10 minutes with a sensory toy and then won't touch another lol xx

thank you, will definitely give this a try with her 🤍

Mine often doesn’t like her toys at home, but if you take her to a park and put them out on a picnic rug she loves them 🤷‍♀️ she also likes it when I put all the toys in a fabric/soft box next to her and she sits there and pulls each toy out one by one. Mine only got better with toys once she could sit independently.

Very similar here, my back is killing me! A few things he does like -

Bubbles! 🫧

Reading books together 📚

Anything outside 🌲

Singing songs with movements 🎶
(I’ll do the Jessie Cat playlist from our Sing & Sign class on Spotify for example)

she absolutely loves the bath, she loves the water but she doesn't play with the toys in the bath. She just splashes and laughs and eats the bubbles 🤪 xx

thank you, she can sit up by herself she just has lazy moments where she will lean to the side and not support herself lol. But I will give the toys outside a try and the box xx

I do a lot of singing and terrible dancing while I’m cleaning. She’s amused and it gives me time to get a few things done without having her in the sling. I’ve started putting the toys in a little ikea box/ drawer divider thing and she sits and looks at them and them pulls them out? Keep trying? They keep changing on us!

My boy is like this! On his bad days, I put him in his sling on my back, so I’m not restricted and I can get things done around the house. It is a phase they go through. Now that he’s mobile he’s a very content in crawling about and finding things he can pull himself up on. Xx

I hope my girl does lol, she's 7 months and can sit by herself and has now started to crawl and still wants me to carry her every where I go lol xx
