How long can your baby be left alone while they are awake

Our 6-week boy can occasionally be left in a bouncer for 20 mins top before he gets fussy and has to be picked up. Wonder if we should try putting him somewhere else so we can have a longer stretch to do housework. He can sleep no problem in a sling but just want to see if anyone has success with other things.

How are you managing this?! I’d be lucky if my baby can be left two mins without fussing 😂

On a baby play mat is fine- especially with dangly toys above

My little one would last about 30 seconds!

My son wouldn’t stay in the bouncer for more than 2 minutes without fussing. I have the snuz baskit which has handles so I carry the top bit around the house and place it in the room I’m doing housework in. Its a bit annoying but I figure it doubles up as good workout😂

Not tried the washing machine or tumble dryer trick? Found the trick out with my first baby lay flat in carrycor or Moses basket 😂 I put on a 2 hour wash load and she would be out cold for 2 solid hours while I cleaned, ate, and a nap and same for my second baby

We get 5 minutes if I’m lucky in bouncer/ mat/ anywhere 🤣 8 weeks old tomorrow

@Jane same 🫠😂
