Re: frustrated
Have you tried an exersaucer?
Put him in a baby swing and lock it and give him some toys to playwith. Maybe put swing in or close to kitchen so you can keep an eye on while working. holding him is nt a gud idea as he will b used to it and will nt play himself.
Let him crawal ariund just block accesd to stairs or bathroom or laundry.

Re: frustrated
But he bangs his head on floor … Hsould I buy a mattress for downstairs?
Re: frustrated
I have a jumperoo. And it’s similar to tht
Re: frustrated
Do u have carpet on the floor, if not get a big area rug. ? Let him crawl and roll on the rub, have different kindsof rattles, and small soft toys for him, try the pplay gym, he might like holding toys, etc. Put him in a swing or a jumper, change the toys of the jumper. My son loves jumper, he stays in there for a good 30 to 45 minutes. When he comes out, I lay him on his back for little bit, he plays with himself and the toys around him. After 30 minutes or so I put him on his tummy for atleast 10 to 15 minutes, sometimes he keeps himself busy for a good 30 minutes. Finally give him a bath, followed by a nice massage and milk. He falls a sleep for good2 to 3 hours. I work 4 days a week, he goes with me and I have a different routine over there for him.
Re: frustrated
Babies are pretty resilient. They dont get hurt from minor bangs and bumps. Let him roll around and be himself.
Re: frustrated
Then put him in the jumperoo while you’re in the kitchen?? My daughter would sit and play in the jumperoo and she loved it.
Re: frustrated
Yes he use to love his jumperoo but now he just plays in it for 15-20 mons n starts crying… Yes I do give him toys n he likes to play but I have to be with him …
Does anyone of u have pack n play?
Re: frustrated
I m thinking of buying one for downstairs So tht I dont have to look him all the time
Re: frustrated
if the pack and play is another term for a play pen then yes, definitely give that a try.
how old is your baby?
what activities do you do with him?
Re: frustrated
