Bored Babies

One of my children were very much like this as a baby. Slept all night and was up all day, if she napped at all it was 5 min power naps and it was very hard to get anything done. I found with my little daughter that much of it was, well she was nosey and wanted to see everything that was going on and not miss anything. When she had tummy time I was down on the floor with her and playing with her. To be able to get things done during the day, I invested in many safe different furniture items for babies. I had a playpen, highchair, swing, baby chair, exercise saucer, and stroller. I used these various items to put her in long enough to get what I needed done (housework, making formula, cooking, laundry, etc.) I would not leave her alone in these just keep moving her from room to room with me. I had so many of these because she seemed to become bored so quickly and would not stay in one too long but if I moved her to another she would settle down and occupy herself again for a short time.. Then once I had my housework and such done for the day. I would take her out in the stroller for a walk when, weather permitted this, and had her sitting up enough to enjoy some of the scenery. Maybe got some errands done while I was out. I found that once she could sit and play with toys some she could occupy herself much longer. Your daughter will too! I know it can be very hard to get what you need to get done when our children are this young, but it will get easier. I hope you find some of this useful.

Hi, You seem have an active daughter and it is a good sign to have an active daughter rather than a passive one. It can be tiring to takecare of little baby and since your daughter like to explore new things, you can simply get some educational toy for her to play around. On some soft music for her to listen or read story book for her. There are plenty of toys in the market and not necessary has to go for those branded toys like fisher price. From my experience, I let my son have fun when he is below 1 year old. I spend most of my time with him.Of course, it can be tiring but I do enjoy that moments. When my son is asleep, I will quickly get my things done and have a short nap. You can also bring your daughter for a walk to playground,just to let her have some fresh air rather than stay at home always. As she grows up, she will learn how to crawl,stand up with support and then start her first step, This is all come in one by one and you will simply enjoy the happiest moment when you see your daughter started her first step. When she reached 5 months old, you can simply get her a baby walker,that will make her occupy and have fun moving around the house.

Awww, that's so cute. I am expecting our first baby before October ends. I wonder if she'll have the same attitude as your daughter. I can say your daughter is such an intelligent little girl.
