Things to do

Is there any groups around about you? We do music on Thursdays and my little boy LOVES it, we do a baby massage class on a Wednesday too. He enjoys a walk in his wake window and loves looking at the trees!

I can’t find any play groups in Swansea, she goes swimming on Fridays but that’s litro all I can find around me! Walks are a good idea I was thinking of taking her out this evening when it’s big cooler xx

My little one loves lying under a tree and watching the light through the leaves🥰 xx

Yes it has surprised me how much entertaining they need! We read books, play with sensory toys like ribbons and rattles, sing nursery rhymes, chat to each other, go for walks, watch sensory YouTube, sometimes I just sit him in a bouncer and let him watch what I’m doing poor thing haha

There are some good cheap sensory sets on Amazon that my LO enjoys, we’ve also got an overhead projector that he watches when laying on his mat

Try read stories or sing, doesn’t really matter what you’re reading so long as they’re hearing your voice. Get some contrast cards and practice tracking. Walk around and show them round the house or take them outdoors. Kinedu is a good app and you can watch 3 free videos a week of things to do that are age appropriate.

How long are people's awake windows now and at what age? I wouldn't worry about them being bored they would let you know 😂😂

my son is 10 weeks tomorrow and he is awake for the majority of the day and are struggling to get him to sleeps more and more. He will sleep maybe 2 times in the day and it is never longer than 1 hr.

6 weeks she stays awake for 4/5 hours sometimes specially between 3 and 7 before her bath xx

mine is 6 weeks too but gets really ratty if she's awake longer than an hour 🙈

@Shaynie thank you! Wish mine would stay awake longer as she is so hard to get down but starts getting upset after an hour

hahaha everyone’s different I guess! This heat makes her more awake lol so she’s really grump atm trying to get her to bed lol xx

oh I think mine was around you little ones age when he seemed to stay up a lot like he had baby insomnia! I first thought it was me drinking coffee but I always made sure to drink under 200mgs. I cut I out for a few days and no change! The only time then he slept a lot was after his vaccines! He sleeps with me so knows once the light are out and it gets to a certain time that it is time to sleep even if he has slept a lot he will use me as a pacifier and go back to sleep. I’m not sure what is keeping him awake apart from curiosity. Even when we go out he will be watching everything for a long time before falling asleep.
