Hellobee Boards

My LO is only 7 weeks but I make a point of being sure that every day she has some active awake time where she's by herself (in her play gym, swing, etc). I'm hoping that this way when she goes to day care at 4 months she'll be ok without one on one attention all day.

LO (8 mo) has been able to play by herself for a long time now. However, it was a short amount of time in the beginning and now can probably do it only 2-3 times a day.

She just turned 10 months and is finally starting to play on her own. It's such a nice break.

Around 3 months I could get him to entertain himself enough to get a shower or do some dishes (well, sometimes dishes). He was either under play gym or in bouncy with toy bar. We got some new 'baby containers' recently and now we use them a ton! The jumparoo/bouncer helps us so much. He loves it and will play/watch us cook/eat for like 30 minutes! Even longer kf we talk to him, etc., while eating/working. We use a bouncer in the kitchen, an exersaucer in the living room, and a super seat in the breakfast nook (our parents bought the jumper and the exersucef as Christmas gifts, the super seat we are borrowing). I kinda hate putting him in them but as an SAHM I need the extra hand to fold laundry, make calls, etc. I still try to engage him even if he's in them though, well not always but a lot of the time. Today he watched us take down the Christmas tree and wrangle it through the back door (it took us forever to get that thing down!)
