My almost 6 month old is really not that bothered about playing. The most she’ll play at a time is 15 minutes then gets upset. She’s more interested in sitting with me but is fidgety I think due to boredom. I’ve tried many different toys, anyone else have this issue? 🙃

My current average says 5k steps, although I probably do way more if including around the house as well lol

I won’t be able to go on the rides just thought it would ...

I’ve noticed that every time I pick my daughter up from nursery at around half 4/5 the children are all crowded round a mini iPad watching You Tube. I try to keep TV to a minimum at home and feel like this is a bit lazy considering I’m paying a lot of money for her to be at nursery. What are everyone’s thoughts on...
