Has anybody found a great toy/toys that keep babies entertained independently? My baby only seems to be entertained if we are at a class, out and about or if I’m playing with her. She gets bored very quickly with the toys we have, but I don’t think they’re that engaging. I don’t want to spend a fortune on something ...

Initially I was thinking of restricting screens but that would only make him want them more so I'm reevaluating. How are you all managing screens? I have a 5mo so want to get into good habits so he's not overly fussed by screens in the future

13month old is obviously obsessed with opening and closing these drawers on my kallax tv unit, I’m going crazy multiple times a day saying ‘no’ and trying to distract with something else.
