Boredom but struggle to think of things

Baby is coming up to 5 months and the boredom of being in is starting to hit. She has recently started hating the car seat so it's tricky to get out but it's like what do you do with them because they are wanting to do stuff but can't quite yet. We go to a baby and mum gym 3 times a week, a baby class and swimming but I'm still pulling my hair out on the days we don't do anything Any advice what to do with a 5 month old other than walks?

My little girl is 4 months and loves watching the trees. On a nice day we go for a walk near trees and she'll watch them while we walk or I can go sit in a café and she'll watch the trees from there. She'd do it for hours

I totally understand how tough it can be. My little one also loves being outside and exploring nature. Sometimes, I’ll go to the shops just to walk around and do some window shopping. It’s a simple way to pass the time, but it keeps the little one entertained! Yesterday I brought her high chair into the kitchen and let her watch me cook, she loved that.

Love these we are always out walking it's such a battle trying to keep her entertained when all she wants to do is try and stand up. Never thought about the highchair in the kitchen

I second a high chair in the kitchen. We got one you can use from birth for our first little girl and use it for our second. People thought we were mad, but that high chair has been amazing for us. She watches us eat and cook, and clean and play. She uses the tray for her toys etc. I also lay her in the garden with me or put her in her bouncer outside and we play with toys, read, get the water tray out etc. she watches me bring the washing in and put it out. I think if they can see you doing everything they are generally interested and occupied. I just try and involve her in everything! If she is bored and agitated they say fresh air or water…so sometimes with have a midday bath or go for a walk! X
