what to do in wake time?

Question

hi april mommies, 
what you guys do in your LO's wake time? how many minutes do you get of wake time in between nap Time?

Answer

My LO is usually awake for about an hour and a half and she plays in her play-mat (back and tummy) or I sit her up on some pillows and she just likes looking around a lot. I talk to her a lot and she’s now starting to reach for toys so I help her practice. We try to get out of the house at least once a day and I try to do it when  she’s awake so she can just look around in the stroller. If she’s being fussy I just hold her and walk around the house cleaning up. She mostly just loves looking around at everything and talking to her

Answer

I do lots of tummy time, read books, go for a walk once or twice a day to get fresh air (usually in the morning and evening), balance and pull up exercises to build strength. In the evening he hangs out in his swing for a bit while I make dinner etc. Usually up for 1 1/2 to 2 hours between nap times including feeds.

Answer

Oh and I practice guitar while he’s watching me in the mamaroo. Never to early to start learning music! 😁

Answer

His awake time inside includes this:

Our outside the house time includes: 
Swimming pool
Walk in the park
Baby rhyme time in local library
Going to baby massage classes 
Meeting babies from baby groups. 
He’s usually awake for no longer than 2 hours at the time.

Answer

LO plays in his jungle mat, swings in his swing, sits in his rocker to play, plays with me using Baby's First Words flash cards, sits outside in the shade with us, has tummy time, goes on walks, has conversations with family members, etc... We do different things every day.

Answer

We get less wake time as the day goes by, from 2 hours in the morning to 1 hour after his last feeding session of the day.
He plays with toys, listen to music, we go for walks, do physical play. If I am doing  things around the house I bring him along so that we can “chat”.

Answer

Mobiles are great around 3months. We have a soft one our little one loves to watch spinning around and can catch with her hands (and suck if she feels like it 😂)
Bouncy/vibrating chairs... wonderful for baby as sat up supported means you can get on with things!
Tummy time
General chatting with her so she hears language
Cuddles
Soft toys that play music/tunes

Answer

Reading, tummy time, he watches me make sounds (Lala, Manama, dada, but obviously we practice mama more than dada. Haha!!) and silly faces
