What does your baby do all day ?

Question

I mean I know babies can t do much, but what is your routine ? Lately it seems like my little bub gets bored so easily, and I m out of ideas, we usually sing, read stories, he stays in his jumperoo or playmat and I just carry him around the house while I’m doing stuff really. How do you guys spend your day with baby? :)

Answer

A child development expert told me that babies can’t get bored. They get uncomfortable or frustrated but not bored. 
My LO wakes up at 830am, has a bottle, and plays on his playmat until naptime at 1030. This basically repeats itself in a 3 hour loops all day until bedtime. Sometimes he’ll sit in his jumper instead of on his playmat.

Answer

We wake up around 7 AM and then after some cuddling ( = me desperately trying to wake up after thousands of night feedings) it's her morning routine (diaper change, washing her hands, face etc. with reusable wipes) and then we have breakfast. First I feed her, and due to her reflux issues I carry her for some time after each feeding. Then she usually plays in the kitchen with her toys while I eat. Then playmat time and I carry her around while doing laundry.
9 AM she naps in the stroller at our balcony, when she wakes up, I give her vitamin D and probiotic supplements and then it's playmat time again. Usually I cook lunch while she plays. Then I feed her, change her diaper and we go out with a stroller and she naps again at 12. After coming back home it's playmat time, diaper change, feeding her, doing housework or visiting friends. At 3 PM it's the third nap of the day. Then I feed her and change her diaper again. (Feels like a neverending story, especially with cloth diapers and all the washing).
Between all the diaper chaos and feedings we sing, read books and visit friends, or invite them over for a coffee. In the afternoon we might run some errands in the city center or go to the grocery store. During the past few days she has enjoyed baby yoga and watching herself from the mirror. 😂
At 6 PM we close the shutters and lights, and it's the start of the night time for us. After 6 PM we try to avoid very loud toys or activating her too much. At 6:30 it's time for her evening routine (again diaper change, reusable wipes etc.) and I feed her and put her to bed. Around 7 PM she falls asleep, some days with a little less and some days with a little more screaming. 😂

Answer

A lot of what some other moms are doing, but I'm not sure if I saw this... Changing her scenery up helps, when she starts to get frustrated I'll take her into another room or outside and she's definitely happy again. She also has this skip hop activity Center that she spends a lot of time in which is especially good for me when I need to get something done or just need a little break. She has a play mat from Skip Hop as well, and also this activity met that has water in the center for tummy time. We go on walks when possible with the puppy because he's nuts and needs a lot of energy expelled LOL. Sometimes I just go and walk around Target, which can be a bit dangerous for our bank accounts. Also, there is a Gymboree near me which does baby classes and let's you meet other moms which is nice too. I know some places at libraries have music and reading events for all ages, even Barnes & Noble... Not sure where you are based out of so these suggestions might not be helpful.

Answer

School runs for my middle child break up the day a lot, then with running errands, visiting friends or a playgroup I just move her from bouncy chair, play mat, bumbo, jumperoo and high chair depending on what I have to get done.
