What do you do with you lo during the day?
Finley now basically refuses to sleep during the day. He probably sleeps for about an hour to an hour and a half spread out over the day from 7am to 8pm.
The thing is I am struggling to think of ways to keep him entertained.
At the moment we do water babies on a Monday and because he loves swimming so much I also take him to the local pool one to two times a week. I am trying to find a baby massage class to do but am stuck from there.
At home we listen to music, he goes on his play mat but will only stay for about 10 minutes before he gets bored/grumbly, I sing to him, he has a bouncy chair that he quickly gets bored of, I read him stories and we go for walks.
Does anyone else have any ideas on things we can do or toys etc your LOs like.
I want to stimulate him as much as possible but he seems to get bored so quickly.

So hard to know whether you're doing enough isn't it?
KayeCee I would love to hear how your sing and sign class goes.
I think I will give my local sure start a call and see what they do.
I try to plan something every day as it's hard being at home all day with her, she doesn't sleep much either so it can be a bit full on, especially if she's having one of those days where it's cuddle or cry! I try and take her out for a walk in the pram most days and we spend a bit of time each day on the baby gym and having tummy time.
I try to get out once a day as well - I got to Water Babies on Saturday and Baby Peep on Monday. About to start Music with Mummy on the 9th as well.
While I was at the pool with Finley today I saw an advert for buggy fit so Iam going to start that next week.

My little one basically sleeps and feeds all day and that's it. He is awake for maybe an hour when I talk to him and try to engage with him. I'm trying to do some tummy time with him too. He spends the day sleeping on his bouncer and sometimes I put him in his swing.
Problem is my little one was premature and currently still only weighs 4lb 5oz. This means I'm not allowed to take him swimming or go to baby massage yet. It also means he is asleep a lot as he's growing so much. But I feel like I'm doing a rubbish job and that I'm letting him down and I should be stimulating him more. I know I probably just have to wait a few more weeks. His due date was only last wk so I guess hesabout 5 wks behind where he should be. Just feels rubbish
