Bored baby?

Question

What do y'all do with your baby all day? I'm a new SAHM with a baby boy that's a little over 6 weeks. We don't do much but watch tv, eat and take selfies. What do y'all do to keep your baby entertained?

Answer

There's not too much you can do with them at that age so it definitely gets boring! Do some tummy time, read a book or two but otherwise just snuggle and enjoy your time together while LO is still this small and cuddly. Baby just needs bonding and the basics right now. Don't pressure yourself to think you need to be working on all these skills. Baby will grow and development on its own timeline, just provide a loving, engaging (but not overstimulating environment) and thats it!
For moms sanity sake, just load up on tv shows and also try to get out of the house. Go driving around, hang out with a friend, go to a coffee shop, etc. just make quick outing s to remember the outside world :) this stage will pass quickly but it can feel like a boring eternity while you're in it lol

Answer

I watch alot of netflix. We do tummy time, read, sing. She has a portable mobile in her pack n play she loves to watch so then I'll clean or cook. Honestly I'm happy to be back at work though. Being around adults is great!

Answer

My daughter is 6 weeks now. We do watch a lot of tv, but when she's awake I try to interact with her as much as possible. We talk, walk around and look at things, I play music and sing and tap rhythms for her. We also do tummy time, but she really loves to lay flat on the floor and kick her legs and look around. Sometimes I'll do a baby massage on her arms and legs or do some stretches to help the bubbles out of her tummy. But mostly she just eats, poops, and sleeps lol

Answer

I feel the same as everyone else! My 5 week old just snuggles me while I watch Netflix, breast feeds, sleeps or poops. Sometimes I try to force him to do tummy time but it never lasts long bc he hates it, or I will put him in his swing so he can watch the mirror/mobile and I can get stuff done around the house. I just tried his play gym out with him last night and he seems to like it! I haven't read much to him bc he doesn't seem to really care about it but he does like when I sing to him or carry him around on my chest in his ergo carrier.

Answer

My baby girl will be a month old on Thursday. We basically eat, sleep, do tummy time, and I talk to her a lot. They can't really do much at this age. When the weather gets warmer we'll be taking walks and stuff so I can get out of the house. Once she gets a little bigger I'll start reading to her and doing more activities. Right now it's just about resting and growing.

Answer

I felt the same way with my first and discovered songs from a cd called Baby games and diaper gym.  They are old school sounding but I'm sure you could search them on YouTube.  Most of games are really cute and easy!

Answer

Mirror!! My 5 week old loves a big mirror and lights. She loves to stare at them. I also sing to her

Answer

We play on his play mat, do tummy time, and I read to him. But I feel like I'm not doing enough... Especially as we can't go outside. I think just talking, describing things, and engaging them is good.

Answer

My two week old LOVES his play May and walks around the neighborhood in his stroller
