Very active baby

Hey all, just wondering if any other mums are struggling with this 😂 my nearly 1 year old is so very active likes to be into everything. I can have all the toys out however won’t even look at them and only wants what he can’t have. This is fine as he is kept a close eye on however I’m struggling to find things to keep him amused. This is mostly a struggle when I’m home alone and need to get bits and bobs done around the house. If anyone has any tips on some activities I can do with him this would be a great help! He’s not yet walking.

My little girl is the same but we got a play pen for that very reason because it’s very hard to do anything without being able to put her in there for a few mins. She’s also learning how to play on her own as a result which is great. Activities wise it will probably vary baby to baby but my LG loves the playground because she loves the swings, so we try go there at least once or twice a day. Hope that helps but definitely think it’s normal

Mine is the same, I’ve found that if I let her empty a safe cupboard like the tupper wear I can then wash dishes

@Anna Same!

Same, my little one is everywhere and yet crawling, he plays with his toys for about 30 seconds unless we play with him. When I need to cook just him and me I keep meals fairly easy and batch cooking helps. He will happily sit in his highchair playing and ripping up cardboard boxes. Tried giving him spoons to bang but he would quickly drop them more out of boredom

My little one is the same we recently hit a kitten and all he eats is the kitten toys that make noise like the bell

My little boy is the same, he seems to be more entertained by things he shouldn’t have so I just make this safe for him to access x

Yep my little girl is too active and mobile, been walking since 9.5 months and in to everything. I give her things to play with that are safe, so I’ll give her kitchen items like wooden spoons, sieve etc. Even an empty bowl and spoon will keep her occupied, or an empty plastic bottle and fill it with uncooked rice/pasta!

I have moved everything out of her reach and got baby gates but when I'm going to be in the kitchen for a while I bring her with me and she will sit in her High chair and be happy with a snack or playing with a kitchen utensil 🤣 I did sort the bottom cupboards out so if she gets in them she is safe and put locks on the non child safe ones
