My best advice, I’m on kid #2 and from a family of 6 kids, is to ignore more. Of course take time to read and play, but let them discover and explore and form play habits on their own. It will save your sanity later on. Wish I’d done it more with my first who is now the worlds biggest clinger and demands facilitated activities
I’ve been taking my little one swimming from 5 months. Swim classes is a really great way to bond away from home. We both love it. We go to soft play and other local mum and baby groups in my area. At home I’ll play music and we dance, read, sing, and I allow him to explore and see what he’s interested in then I’ll probably play with him and his favourite toys or what ever he finds as long as it’s safe.
@Kelly My girl always just sleeps once in a blue moon! If she ever does I take advantage and try to get much done in that little time. She also watches Ms. Rachel mainly when I just have to tidy the kitchen. I’m a little late on the toys part LOL. She has so much yet wants everything else that isn’t toys lol 😂
My son is turning 1 on 10/15 and naps once a day. He is so energetic and gets into everything. I work from home and used to let him watch Ms Rachel, etc. but just let him play with toys. Sometimes Tupperware and household things were more interesting to him than the toys I bought
