How to entertain a 2-3 month old baby

Read to him, sing to him. He’s not exactly going to start talking at 3 months, but language skills are developed slowly over time and the more you talk to them the better. Books with bold black and white images are great for them to look at too. Play with toys, let baby feel the different materials and textures of different toys.

My daughter loved the kick and play piano gym

I hated 3-6 months for this reason. They're awake but dont really do anything lol

Honestly I’d just google “how to entertain a 3 month baby”, just try and do the best you can. I honestly forget how I entertained my 3 month old but I still feel the same way with my almost 8 month old, I just let him crawl around and stuff now so its easier but there’s always a few times a day where I’m like “now what..?” Lol

Books!! They can benefit them even from Birthday. Sing, narrate everything you do, walk around the house, show him different things and objects

My little one loved black and white baby books at that age.

We also got the kick and play piano set. It had an arch over it with a mirror and some hanging toys that kept him way entertained. I also wore him around the house when I had to do some clean up. On days I was bored, we packed up and walked every aisle at Target (beware, you will leave with things you don’t need... you have been warned).

Talk and sing. Just explain what you are doing.

Baby wear! While you get things done or go for a walk or to the store... Talk to them while you do things.

I agree with all the above suggestions. But I would also add that you are not a bad mom if you are not entertaining your newborn 24/7. You need some “you” time during the day- even if that consists of staring at your phone for a bit (as I’m doing right now lol) Taking care of a newborn and recovering from birth is exhausting. I had such guilt over this early on even though my son really liked to sit in his swing and watch us do our thing. And he is now a 10 month old who loves his cuddles but also loves independent play time (obviously supervised). He also loves playing alone in his crib for a few minutes before he falls asleep
