When DD (10months) wakes, I change her and then give her milk. I then pop her in her playpen where she happily plays with toys. I then make a coffee and watch some TV - play pen is infront of TV (well TV in on wall, playpen is infront of couch). I sometimes just watch her and occassional look up at TV sometimes I will watch the TV. I enjoy having my morning coffee and she is happy playing. After 30mins / 1hr or so I then take her through to kitchen where I give her actual breakfast, porridge, yoghurt, etc.
DH wfh and when walking past livingroom popped head in to say hi. He looks shocked thst I had a coffee and was lying on sofa watching TV. He asked was mummy having a day off and that the play pen isnt for me watching TV and that im being lazy. I was so annoyed. Is he right?

Excellent news @ILoveFatFaceSocks . I hope it continues. Did you sleep ok?

I was expecting an earlier wake up so didnt go to bed until v.late. wont be doing that tonight!!

Delighted to hear that news @ILoveFatFaceSocks . Hope you get a few more nights like that.
Also, don't kill yourself trying to come up with the solution to everything because as you have seen with the sleep babies change so much and can totally flip even the best routines and strategies overnight. So next month she might be bored of cruising around the living room and want to be in the high chair. Who knows. Just drink your coffee and get through each day.

Sounds like a balanced day and a nice relaxing start for you both. Keep enjoying your morning coffee. Sounds great

I would make an effort to sing to her different songs, give pots and pans to bang or different kitchen items.
have you tried giving a running comentary of what your doing “ooo banana chop chop chop” whilst your cutting a banana ect.
I pull my babies high hair right next to me and involve her in what I’m doing. From the research I have done screen time is quite damaging for children, they thrive from interaction and being involved in our everyday activities, it will bring on her learning and speaking too!! It’s tiring though, but we are all just trying our best aren’t we. Good luck x

Lazy? For having a coffee?

OP’s husband, that you? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
