What do people do during the day or what kind of things do you do in your routine?

My little one is 8 weeks tomorrow but I also have a 3 yr old. However, all the things that we do I've been doing since my eldest was about 4 weeks haha.

Mondays and Fridays we go to mum and baby/toddler stay and play groups. Wednesdays we will do either a soft play trip or swimming. Tuesdays and Thursdays are either sofa chill days with maybe a walk for some fresh air or we will go to a play park or country park or we will go and find a coffee shop for a change of scenery.

When my first was 8 weeks I would either do normal household chores, walk her around the house, sit underneath the trees or in our garden (if it was nice weather) or simply just have a cuddle. I wasn’t a mum to go to bay groups or have friends with other children near the age. They just love seeing anything when they have their eyes open as everything is new to them.

Now I have another baby, 18 months apart (now 9months at 2years) the youngest has had a lot of soft plays, big days out, play dates, toddler gymnastics. But just do whatever you feel comfortable doing.

At this age you really can just go about your day and take them with you! They don’t need too much in the way of entertainment and they’re happy to take in the world around them. My baby comes along for the ride with my toddler x

My LO is 9 weeks, she plays on her mat and I sometimes read or sing nursery rhymes. I try to do bits I wanna do, walks, sit in the garden and play video games

For my baby I did lots of floor time play! This means that they can get their body moving freely, practice tracking, tummy time etc and baby sensory is so good at their age as they love the lights and just take yourself for coffee as it’s really nice when they’re so young and sleep a lot in the day xx

You’re all doing amazing and some lovely things with your babies, today I’ve fed baby, got the toddler ready for nursery, walked toddler to nursery, walked to get a takeout coffee and around Sainsbury’s, home and fed baby, sat on the sofa whilst baby napped on me, I watched home tours on YouTube, baby woke furious, fed again, he fell back asleep but I transferred him into rocker in the bathroom so I could shower, made some lunch whilst he wriggled around on his mat, quite unhappy at this point to not be in someone’s arms, probably fed again, more wriggling around, tummy time, practicing his smile and also pouty lip sad face, fed again, cuddle with big brother, then lots of unhappiness whilst we ate dinner, carried around by Dad, carried around by mum, fed again, fell asleep on Dad, fell asleep on Mum…and that brings us to now! Not everyday is full of baby groups and enriching activities. 😅
