It’s great that you’re looking for fun activities to do at home! Here are a few ideas: 1. Tummy Time Play :Use colorful toys or mirrors to encourage your baby to lift their head and reach out. 2. Sensory Bins : Fill a shallow container with safe items like fabric scraps, plastic measuring cups, or textured balls for them to explore. 3. Baby Massage :Gentle massage can be soothing and help with bonding. 4. Story Time :Read colorful board books or picture books together, even if they don't understand yet! 5. Musical Play : Use simple instruments like shakers or pots and pans to create some music together. 6. Water Play : If you have a safe area, you can let them splash in a small container of water (with supervision, of course). These activities can help stimulate their senses and promote development. Enjoy your playtime!

You and I both! Honestly so many hours and so many days yet very little to do with these little bundles of joy without burning out! Everything suggested is brilliant! What I do is divide the days. 3 days for my baby, 3 days for me, one day for family. On his 3 days we go for play dates, swimming lessons and play at home etc . The other 3 days for me, I take him with me in beautiful walks and go have a sit and enjoy a nice coffee in a cute cafe, go window shopping, just the things I used to enjoy! (He has the best naps on these walks) On Sunday we all just relax! No playing no walks, just hot chocolate and a blanket with my LO entertaining himself. So far so good
