Vent/advice

Hi mom! I’m a first time mom here with a six-month-old at home I have been quarantined in the house since March 17 before that during winter months in New York I stayed inside away from the flu which was very difficult to do since my husband opened up a new business and I was by myself with a newborn all day long. As February March came around I started to get out and I felt like I had a new take on things and felt more balanced. Then I got stuck back at the house with the pandemic it’s now June and my husband has recently decided to go back to work after the Covid and I’m finding the same feelings I’ve had with the newborn in the sense that I’m trapped in the house all day long with nothing to do there’s only so many times I can clean bottles do laundry. She is also at the stage where I cannot leave her side I have to sit with her on the floor and play with her for hours waiting for the next feeding or naptime. I’m on a schedule with her obviously because I can’t wait for the next nap just to get a break. before I had a baby I told myself that I was hoping to have a very flexible schedule with her but due to the circumstances that I have no control over she’s in this house all day with me which I’m concerned over her happiness n social development. She gets more and more whining every day and I just think it’s because of boredom. I’m slowly trying to be around my family again taking precautions of course but is anyone feeling this way or have any advice as to what I can do with her all day long our routine is becoming so redundant that she and I are both not liking it
