Going on walks if an option is a fun way to pass the time and they’re so mesmerized by the world around them because everything is something new & exciting! Like a tree branch in the wind could captivate their attention for a surprising amount of time 😅
you're definitely not a rubbish mum, it can be tough! i just try to switch up toys, play some music, or even go for walks to keep my little one entertained. here's what the 'Heal Baby Care App' says.... "It's completely normal to feel overwhelmed as a first-time mom, and many parents share similar feelings. At five months, babies enjoy activities that stimulate their senses. You can try simple things like playing with colorful toys, singing songs, or engaging in tummy time with interesting objects around. Also, consider taking him for walks outside or using a play gym with hanging toys to keep him entertained. Remember, it's okay to take breaks for yourself too. What activities have you tried so far with him?
Literally just acting a bit delirious! —-dance wildly, sing, read books or poems, talk to him like he’s one of your buds, etc. This time period is more for keeping your sanity than his, trust😂
