My baby is more clingy than ever lately!

We move out in a month and I have SO much to do. But every day I can only just do the bare minimum to clean (laundry, dishes, grocery shopping, cleaning bathroom, sweep+vacuum) and take care of the baby. I can’t get to anything with packing or preparing the house!

I can’t leave him in his crib with his fisher price piano gym anymore. I can’t get him to do tummy time for more than 5 minutes. He doesn’t like his bouncer for very long anymore when it used to be his favorite thing. I carry him or put him on my lap and that’s not enough either because he wants me to stand him up and dance him around.

Lately he’s been so clingy for mom that he has refused bottles when babysat by grandparents and cried half the time. He whines all day and though I will let him whine for a bit, it turns into real crying after a few minutes and I can’t ignore that. I can get him to watch half of a baby Einstein but I usually save that for dinner time. He naps sometimes but often it’s 30 minutes and he’s up again.

I could babywear but a lot of the stuff I need to do is crawl space cleaning, dingy basement work, kneeling to clean out drawers, carrying heavy storage boxes, getting my old classic car ready for sale. All stuff I can’t do while baby wearing.

Help! How do you get major chores done? How do you entertain baby?
