Keeping Baby Entertained

How are we all keeping our baby’s entertained? My girlie’s wake windows are sometimes up to 2 hours now, and I’m out of things to do😭😂

We practice tummy time, stretches to encourage rolling, reading, singing nursery rhymes, etc. But she only ever lasts a few minutes before getting frustrated, she must think I’m boring😂😂

Ps she also hates her pram so walks aren’t really an option unless she’s in her carrier, but if she’s not tired she gets mad in there too😂

We do the same as you plus independent play in between buys me a break 😅 she’s happy for 15 mins on her piano kick and play mat and about the same again looking at her black and white cards or aquarium! ☺️

She watches me clean the house 😂

Singing musicals while I make tea and he sits on his rocker, nursery rhymes, tummy time may give me 5-10 mins on the morning to make a matcha. Maybe some time on his play mat if he's in a good mood. Honestly he may watch us play some video games for a couple mins if we've exhausted everything and he won't settle😅 usually followed by him falling asleep as he was overtired

We do the same, I also let him play on his own on his mat for a while, usually I sit close by and eat. Otherwise he watches me cooking, cleaning, folding clothes while chatting to him or just listening to some music.
I also plan little trips out during hia wake windows like shopping, post office...
I am trying not to entertain him 100% of the time! 🙈

I happened to have a helium balloon from my birthday and he loved playing with it, kept him entertained for a good 20 mins or so but it has to be done with supervision obviously

Do better ladies

This app is so toxic.
Nearly every post asking for advice of some sort and if someone doesn’t like your opinion or you don’t validate everyone’s feelings then you’re immediately bullied and bombarded with names and insults. Women have gone as far as making fun of my baby and his medical needs, his looks, telling me to kill myself. It’s also nonstop bashing husbands, etc.
And don’t waste your time making a report cause you’ll be ignored.
Thought becoming a mom would be this wonderful experience to make some new friends and be uplifted and I’ve come to the conclusion that majority of women in all walks of life are just truly horrible human beings.
I’m totally okay keeping my circle intimate. This world is going to shit. ✌🏽

I know she can tell that it's unusual

So my husband has to go away for work, he's been away from Tuesday and will be back Friday night. I am at home with our three months old daughter, well it's going ok we both getting through, I had a phone call with my husband, her dad, last night and I think she was a little whingey because she could hear him but he obviously wasn't there, well she woke up at four ish for a feed and then when I placed her back in the cot after she fell asleep she was up again, yawning wanting sleep but not going, well I picked her up for a cuddle instantly she was asleep, same happened at seven ISH feed time, is this because she knows he's not there and needs extra comfort or am I reading into this because I got another week of my husband being away and I don't like because of her age but we can't do anything about it.

Cleaning teethers

Hi 😊 How do you all clean teethers? Do they need sterilising? I have the ones with water in them so I've read that they shouldn't go in the steriliser... suggestions, please? X

Is anyone else really struggling to sleep at night but is extremely tired all day?
(my iron is low. Is that something to do with it? Does anyone know? Is anyone experiencing the same?)😪
