How on earth is anyone getting any housework done with a baby🥲🙃

I have an 8 month old son and it’s probably partly teething but he will not go down for naps anymore! When he’s awake, he’ll sit and play in the room while I fold washing or something. He goes in his jumperoo while I make meals but I feel like I can’t keep on top of everything! Any tips?

Put them in a carrier and off you go 😂👌🏻 or in Baby prisone (playpen)

Sling. Play pen prison 🤪.

@Nikki Honestly have to sometimes, a workout too I guess 🥲😭

@Scarlett May have to invest in baby play pen prison 😏😅

A sling was my salvation with my first. With the twins it just doesn’t get done 🙈😂

@Ceri-Ann Oh twins, girl you better sit 😭 you are like superwoman

Get one before your baby starts crawling!

@Scarlett Good point! My only plan I have is putting the baby in the bath while I wee 😂

We have just invested in a playpen! 😀

Baby wear x

I found dancing fruit on YouTube a big help when i desperately needed to get some things done

Invested in a play pen at Christmas. My girl is 8 months and it’s been a life saver 😂😂 left her for 2 seconds the other day to grab something from the kitchen and came back to her UNDER the sofa 🙃😂

There is a sleep regression at 8 months so naps should come back.

Baby wearing is a life saver but I also put her in the high chair with baby puffs when I’m in the kitchen lol

I hardly manage😂 it’s stressful! He is all over the place crawling after me, got him a ball pit in hopes he would sit in that whilst I could do dishes or something, NOPE. 3 days after he got it (for Christmas) he was climbing out and following me anyways 😭 I try to do things when he naps! Xx

For stuff like laundry I include my baby, anything in the kitchen he gets to chill in the high chair, mopping is for naps, and cooking is when we bust out the tv

baby wearing!

i also put my baba in his high chair and leave sensory toys in front of him so i have like 20 mins of peace lol

Most of my housework gets done once LO goes to bed, I try whizz round and do a reset each night
