Hey there SAHM with a 6 month old baby. Just wondering what other SAHM do during the day with their babies. I try my best to switch things up but sometimes I feel like she gets bored. Just looking for ideas of things to do. Preferably at home. Thanks

I cuddle with my 6 month old, have him play in little lovery play mat, tummy time squishy water mat, bounce him on my lap, tickle him, go on walks, take him to the zoo. Even tho he’s little he still smiles and looks around & he gets fresh air, take him to the beach and place in a lil hammock. He takes the best naps at the beach, play dates with friends have him tummy time Infront of other babies who are doing tummy time so they can look at eachother, practice sitting up, more cuddles. Idk it just depends on the day and where we are ♥️

Ooo u can get a big mirror lay it on the floor and then lay you baby on, I did that with my daughter when she was little she loved it but it has to be a big mirror

I try to switch it up everyday! We love going outside, walking around looking at things. We have a baby swing that my LO loves. I try to read and show different books. We have a tummy time water mat. We have a play mat that I hung a little toy with a mirror on the bottom that he loves to play with. We play with rattles. We do tummy time using our boppy pillow and I’ll give him a toy to reach for and play with. I try to give him different textures to feel like I’ll put noodles or water or whatever I can find around the house in a plastic bag. We do 10ish minutes in his activity center/jumper thing. I bounce him on my knee all the time because he loves to play “horsey.” We listen to music and sing while playing with his Mickey Mouse doll. Then, there are some days where I just need a break and we’ll watch a few episodes of Mickey Mouse on the tv. I also get on TikTok and search activities to do with a 6 month old to add into our rotation!

thank you! That's all very helpful stuff! We have the water mat and a skip hop play station. I guess sometimes I just feel guilty like I'm not doing enough. I have days too where we just watch some Bluey.

Sometimes I just leave her in the pack and play with some toys, so she can practice sitting down ( with my breatfeeding pillow) and also tummy time. I’m always watching
