Overwhelmed

Anyone else just overwhelmed having to constantly entertain your baby. Sometimes I just don't have the energy and I feel guilty that I'm not doing enough with him. My baby doesn't smile a lot so it makes me think he's unhappy and bored all the time. It's just a struggle having to be happy and entertain your baby 24/7. Anyone else going through this at 4 months?

Hun you honestly don’t have to entertain your baby 24/7. This is my second but I’m doing the same with him as I did with my first. I take him to the odd class, let him have plenty of time in his floor gym (he loves playing with all the hanging toys), give him cuddles, talk to him a bit and go for walks. If he’s content playing, I leave him for ages like that! They are happy just to be in your presence; you don’t need to constantly interact with them ❤️

Don’t have any tips but just wanted to say SAME ❤️

My LO loves watching greys anatomy.... You don't have to do baby things all the time. We have tv and cuddle time and he'll fall asleep. If i did baby things 24/7 i would be going crazy 😂😂😂😂 xxx

It's good to just let baby explore themselves. I leave my LO on her floor mat looking at her gym or in her bouncy chair to look at her toys or watch me cook. She is quite happy to entertain herself for sometimes 20 minutes at a time. I obviously keep an eye on her but let's me gets house work done.

I let mine watch baby sensory tv as it’s the only time I get a break. Don’t feel guilty they don’t need to be entertained by you all the time!

Just came here to say that entertaining them 24/7 really isn’t necessary at this age. If I was you I’d savour up the energy for the toddler stage 😂 My 3 year old literally does need entertaining 24/7 so his poor baby bro is either in his bouncer, mat or asleep. I do about 10 minutes a day of entertainment for the baby
