2 months old... bored ?

There is a leap at this stage a growth spurt. I recommend downloading an app called wonder weeks. It shows you when to expect baby to be a little more fussy due to their development x

What you're doing sounds perfect. At this age, its also easy to over stimulate, so try not to overdo it and keep an eye out for signs of tiredness. Otherwise, sounds like you're doing everything right, she might just be going through a leap xx

It sounds like you’re doing great mamma!! I don’t think it would be the jabs making a change in her routine. Perhaps she is going through a leap? Keep doing what you’re doing ❤️

we have quiet time where she self soothes in her chair.

On a night for bedtime is quiet piano music to nursery rhyme. Rest of sounds are her chair music every now and then and her play mat that has a wind up nursery song that's just music. That's it other than me talking/singing which isn't often so I don't think she's over stimulated with noise as it's spread out through the day x

Thankyou so much ❤️

just downloaded this! Thankyou x

Just realised the app is a subscription and I'm on maternity leave so can't afford the extra payments going out lol Thankyou though x

Wonder weeks is free!! There is a paid for version but also free version because I use it too, that’s how I know my little one is going through a leap currently xx

Yeah I don’t pay for wonder weeks I use the free version :)

I wonder if I'm looking g at the wrong one ? Xx

What does the app photoook like? X

yeah that's what I downloaded and it only gave me option to subscribe with payments? X

You can access part of it for free but it's a bit naff without the subscription. Not getting much out of the free version tbh

You’re doing amazing!! Sometimes quiet time is needed! how about a class to do something different with her? Sensory or baby massage x

baby massage is part out our night routine after her bath,
I suffer badly with anxiety so going to classes is a bit out of my comfort zone to do alone, and the ones I have looked at around here are expensive and any free ones are booked :( xx

I also have this for her night routine lol x

that’s amazing! No I understand going to classes can be so scary, but it really seems like you’re doing everything you can, don’t be hard on yourself but mom guilt is so normal xx

thank-you so much ❤️! It's just hard cause I feel I need to do more xx

Maybe press the x and see if you can access the free version? Now I know how to use it it’s actually really helpful. The app is super clunky though but it gives you games you play with them and signals and skills they should be learning during this period. The signals will tell you they might be clingy, cry more etc and then the skills they will be demonstrating and you can actively see your baby achieving them and you can tick them off on the app and play the games it advises. It also shows you videos of what the baby can see/do from their perspective. I actually enjoy the app but do agree at first it seems useless until you spend time getting to know it properly!

When my little one gets worked up I play different noises like jungle sounds and nature sounds or just music which helps calm him down

Could try the app baby plus it's free and has different ideas on it

I think you're doing too much personally, calm down and relax. At this age, just connecting with them with hugs is good enough despite what's shoved down our throats with tummy time etc... our parents 100% never did half of what we're all currently doing and we are all okay. Just spend time with your little one and enjoy them. Don't stress yourself out too much with keeping them entertained. You're already doing amazingly 👏

I’m currently overwhelmed with trying to entertain my 8week old, it is hard but it’s a phase they’ll get out of it soon. Just relax and you’re doing great ❤️👏🏼

Anyone joined any playgroups? I think they are a good idea tbh
