Help

I’m at a loss, we have so many things for my girl to entertain her but she gets bored so easily. She has the kick piano mat, another playmat which I regularly change around, a sit me up chair, a bouncer, an astronaut projector, crinkle books, rattles, soft toys, fish tank screen, mirror, activity cards. I have so much for her yet she’ll get bored of everything after a couple of minutes. The only thing she doesn’t get bored of is dancing fruits and this is the issue, all she seems happy doing is watching tv. She only likes one video of Miss Rachel’s and gets angry when it gets around 14 mins in and wants it restarted and loves dancing fruits. I can’t just sit on the floor playing with her all day. Help 😭

Although it's hard, I would say helping your baby to play by themselves for short while is good but It will take a while to build up to. A little bit of frustration from them as they play can be good as they then learn how to play with a toy differently and more independently too. So given a toy, then when they first sound frustrated, leave for a short while before going it to help. Working out the difference between frustrated but learning Vs frustrated and upset is needed to make this work and you know your baby best for how this will look and sound for you.

I would also try some household objects rather than buying new toys as you won't feel as bad if they reject them. A colander bowl which is shiny and no sharp edges is great! I place one upside down Infront of my little one and she loves to play with it & chew/lick it, try picking it up etc.

Just here to say I can relate to this completely and it’s been a struggggle 😵‍💫
