When did you start using a baby playmat/gym?
in Baby
Hi all,
My baby is 2 1/2 weeks old. He spends his days in his moses basket - and some time in a bouncy chair. Although he has some grisly time during the day he sleeps quite well during the night.
I have started wondering if maybe during the day I should be doing more with him while he is awake - and perhaps this is why I he is unsettled when I put him down - as he simply does not want to sleep?
At just a few weeks old can he really see much to benefit from a playmat? I haven't bought one yet and so wondered what people could advise.
Thanks.

I think a baby as young as 2 1/2 weeks can get easily over-stimulated and their awake time is so short usually. Your interaction with baby by talking, singing, cuddling is probably enough right now. My little girl also used to like sitting in her bouncer or swing and snoozing and watching me getting on with some chores too.

With DS1, he was happy to stay on his playmat for up to an hour and at times, wasn't bothered if we interacted with him or not!! Helped getting jobs done!! DS2 seems to require my attention more... not that I am complaining... bored of housework anyway!! hehe! xx
