How old is your baby? X

My baby used to love the bouncer, I'd strap her in with a few chew/ rattle toys and leave her for a bit. As long as she could see me, I'd be able to make myself lunch/ refill water etc

We have the munchkin chair, but he often prefers to just lie on his playmat x

Playmat/ watermat/ bouncer :) or u could use a baby carrier :)

I had a bouncer that I’d move to whatever room I was doing jobs in and I’d like narrate to him what I was doing to keep him entertained lol😂

I've got a bouncer or chicco hug 4 in 1 xx

Funnily enough my baby loves her bath seat so I sit her in it wherever I am and she can just watch me I don’t leave her unattended as it doesn’t have straps but she loves it ahaha

All you need is a blanket or mat on the floor as long as you don't have pets or toddlers, saying flat is miles better than any sort of rocker or bouncer for their spines and it helps their development

Play mat :)

Have you tried putting babes in a wrap carrier? It may take some getting used to for them, but if done correctly baby wearing is really good for baby, and frees your arms up to get some things done around the house.

I use a moses basket for my soon to be 3 week old. He'll have a good cry for sometimes 10 or 15mins but he falls asleep and has a lovely 2 hr nap afterwards. I put him in it to fo jobs only when he's had a big feed first because then I know he'll cry and go for a big nap.

Babybjorn bouncing chair 👍

The floor and once she started to roll and crawl I just brought her with me to keep an eye on her.

A ring sling worked great for me. I also learned what chores could wait until hubby got home.

Bouncer and I rock it with my foot while I’m washing dishes and stuff x

Play gym/play mat with lots of dangling toys above their head so they are busy looking at those.

We have a bouncer in the kitchen and a swing upstairs. Both were gifted but can easily get near new on Facebook marketplace. Baby is 7 months and likes to roll now so sometimes I will put him on a playmat with some toys and he'll be happy too. On clingy days when he doesn't want to be put down I put him in a Tula carrier

Have you tried wearing baby in. Sling /carrier? This is a lovely way to help baby feel close to you and give you both hands free to do stuff
