I pretty much have a routine down with my baby.
I feed her, then put her in her swing or bouncer for a little while, then I'll hold her and walk around the house or outside for a bit, then sit her down with me and just talk to her and play with her for a little while, till she gets sleepy, then put her to sleep💕 and the process pretty much repeats itself.
What do you all do with your babies all day to keep them entertained?:)
@alainasmommy916, oh, my son wants to be held all the time. such a difference from his sister! cannot get anything done. at all. and he wants to be held while napping
Hopefully they'll make an update soon I'd love to see ☺️ Thanks for the advice! I'll definitely try that :) @emilyd
@alainasmommy916, that is beautiful brain development! You should be so proud! Place her in front of a mirror or put a mirror under her during tummy time to encourage her to explore her own face and interact with herself. Our babe loves to talk to himself in the mirror! I have a video but I can't post it 😩😩
@emilyd, She does mimic faces sometimes it's hilarious! The other day she was sticking her tongue out so i started to do it back and I was cracking up cus she would keep doing it too, and and then she started to laugh also. It was like the cutest moment we've had it was too funny lol. @emilyd
@concrete, mimicking your face is an amazing developmental game called "serve and return". Try sticking your tongue out to see if he does the same. It really gets those neurons firing! And @alainasmommy916 how wonderful that you get to watch your nieces/nephews grow and develop as well! I thought they were doing an update with videos... guess not!
My little one is barely starting to last a little while when I put her down in her swing or bouncer. She use to only last about two minutes before wanting to be held again I was never able to get anything done. She still gets fussy pretty quick most of the time but she's getting better at it as she gets a little older I think. @concrete
@alainasmommy916, @emilyd , so cute! my little guy still wants to nurse and be held a lot. he smiles at me, mimics my face a bit. his fave place is his changing tables (upstairs and downstairs ). he likes his gym, sometimes and his swing sometimes.
I know!! She has two cousins. One is two months older and the other is 4 months older so I watch and see how they are and I am just so excited to watch my little one do the cute things they do😋 And yesss! I always say there should be a way to post vids on here:( @emilyd
@alainasmommy916, ugh! I wish we could post videos! I would love to see that. So stinking cute! I've been a private nanny for 10 years and 4-6 months is my absolute favorite stage. You will be astounded with how quickly her personality develops and she'll start hitting her milestones one after the other. Suddenly, she will be "telling stories", rolling over, having favorite toys, etc. it's incredible!
Two months:) She's barely getting to the point where she's more alert about everything, and she's starting to smile and get excited when I talk to her it's the cutest thing. I see her getting more and more active and aware of things every day. Sometimes when I put her in her bouncer, she'll just stare at the little animals that hang above her and she'll just be making the cutest little noises like she's trying to talk to them lol!! It melts my heart it's adorable. @emilyd
Our babe wakes up at 7:45 am. He does a dreamfeed at 4 am, so he isn't hungry right away. We put him in his play gym, so he can stretch out, play, and explore. Then, we do tummy time, read books, and sing songs. I try to do new exploratory tummy time activities each week. Then, he nurses for his morning nap at 10:30 am. He sleeps for 1 1/2-2 hours. He nurses again. We go for a walk/jog on the river trail. Then spend some time at the playground. He takes another nap around 1 pm. When he wakes up, we do more time in the play gym. He likes to pull on the toys and roll over. We usually play some developmentally stimulating games in the afternoon as well. If it's still nice out, we do another walk before dark to put him down for another short nap. He gets some time in his bouncer while I make dinner. After dinner, we all snuggle on the couch to watch a movie or tv show. It usually turns into playtime with mommy and daddy! He takes a bath with either mommy or daddy before bed. Then we read a couple stories and sing songs in bed. He nurses down and is asleep by 10-10:30 pm every night 😃
I don't care what ppl think of me, but I'm seriously considering putting my baby up for adoption. I love her with all of heart, but doing this alone is hard. Every single night she just screams to the top of her lungs and I do everything to soothe her. I don't know what to do at all. I wish I had some kind of help. I don't have a single ounce of help. I don't know a single soul in Minnesota either.
I can't take it anymore! Haley (yes my 1mth old and no I wasn't able to go through this "joy" of nursing my older daughter, Molly) has been screaming non stop for 6hrs! All she wants to do is eat and I can't have her attached to me all day, everyday! She has wanted to eat every hr on the hr for the past 3hrs! I put her in her room so I don't scream at her but I just can't take it!
Scratch :(
My little baby scratched herself pretty bad on her face, it breaks my heart to look at it. Is there anything I can put on it or do I just leave it alone?
My baby girl does not let me do anything all day 😭 I'm lucky if everything is done before my s.o gets home , she cried so I pick her up to feed her and change her diaper and once she's on my breast she eats and I burp her put her down and she'll cry I get her again and she's on my breast not even latched on just smelling my boobs 😭 I'm like girl really lmao she wants me to carry her or be with her all day , girl I wish I could lmao

I got 66 🙈😂 so yeah I’d be put away for life pretty much
@emilyd, @alainasmommy916, he just noticed his face in the mirror. so cute! he flirts with the reflection.
