That's what I did with LO when she was that little... I mean, at that point, all you can really do is make sure they're alive. We would go on errands once in awhile, but I felt better shopping with her at home with my mom.

Sounds good to me!

Sounds pretty much like our days when she was that age

DD is 4.5 months. I take her for at least one walk a day, as long as the weather permits. We regularly visit the local library, and look at picture books. I give her indepebdent time on her activity mat, but tickle, sing, and otherwise engage with her, as well. We'll run errands, or visit with family, and she's cool with chilling in her bouncer while I do chores, and turn on music. She eats and sleeps a lot, so that also takes up time!

@MamaMagpie: once LO got older I used to aim to do some sort of activity or outing every other day, whether it be a music class, grocery shopping, coffee group or catching up with friends. At eleven weeks your LO will definitely love all the snuggles and if the weather is still nice he'd probably enjoy hanging out on a blanket outside too

@HabesBabe: LOL and so true about just trying to make sure they are alive and thriving!

It sounds like you have a good routine down. I had a great sleeper but finicky bottle feeder. I supplemented with formula from the start due to supply issues. I tried so many brand of bottles to see if she would eat better or more, she would fall asleep during feeding times even. But it turns out, it was just her, she just needs her sleep.

LO is almost 4 months and I still feel our days revolve around eating and naps! When she is awake I try to change activities every 15-20 mins. We spend lots of time on the couch, with her propped up on the boppy. I read and sing and talk to her there. Then she plays on her activity gym while I tidy up a bit. Then she might go in the swing before her next nap. I also try to go out with her once a day. We belong to a couple mom groups and also go to the movies and library once a week.

At the moment while my LO is on a napping strike I'm constantly feeding him. We read 2 books this morning while he was calm. At the moment I'm giving him 10 min to CIO while I do house work. It's killing me hearing him cry but he just won't nap and I can't even get a dish done! Our home is a mess because SO refuses to help with housework because I'm "home all day" so I should have plenty of time to get it done. Oh dear goodness if only he knew.
