Do you ever feel like your baby is bored?

I am A SAHM and we have a rountine when she wakes up I change her give her a bottle as she watches a B.E. Video then she will play in the pack and play or exersaucer for a while as I clean, then she will nap and I will shower when she wakes up we play and stuff but I feel like when I can't hold her because it is just impossible I am putting her in the pack and play or exersaucer...she doesn't cry I just feel bad sometimes. I love taking her out but it has been way too cold latley..I need spring to get here.

Yes, I definitely feel that Ava gets bored with her routine and her toys, but then I try to take things out that we don't normally play with or put her in her crib to play or her high chair with some tupperwares to play with. I just try to change it up within the house if I can. HTH!

Yes! Parker gets bored with the same things each day. I try and break it up by taking her out even if it's just to the store. Or I put away a few toys and bring out others. I cycle them and it seems to keep her interest. I can't wait until SPRING!!

Edit to add: Have you tried the baby bjorn or sling? I used to do my cleaning with Parker attached. It keep her busy watching me vaccum and do laundry. Just other idea.

I always say it feels like a Curves gym in my house - moving them from the bouncy seat after 10 mins, then to the swing for 10 mins, then the activity mat for 10 mins, etc. And I ALWAYS feel like they're bored! Sometimes they cry until I do something else with them, so I definitely know they are. Not on the days when we go out, but definitely when we sit home all day!

Some days I just put them in the car and go to some drive throughs just to get out and break up the monotony. I also have a lot of toys that play music and light up and they enjoy watching those a lot too.

Definitely! I feel so bad on the days we don't go out. It seems like we only play an hour here and an hour there, inbetween naps and feedigns.

She loves to sit in her swing awake for hours too. I feel so awful when I see her sitting in it staring into space, but when I take her out she cries.
