Fussy baby

My DS is 6 months old still feel I'm at the newborn stage as he wakes up has a bottle then plays for a little bit then off to sleep he has on average 4 naps through out the day nothing seems to entertain him I've got him a jumparoo and a babylo walker I csnt really seem to do anything or go anywhere cause I just feel like he cries alot...

Im just wondering if anyones had an extremely fussy baby and how did they get through it as its been very tough with him since he's been born.

Thanks!

That sounds tough and you have my sympathy at my DS was a crier.

4 naps are a lot for a 6 month old, usually they've dropped to 3 maybe 2 at this age. What's his sleep like at night?

Unfortunately they aren't entertained by anything for very long.

If you've got jobs to do, can you take him around the house with you? So if you're cooking, give him a bowl and a spoon and some dried pasta to play with. If you're sorting laundry, give him his socks to chew play with.

Have a look at treasure baskets as well. They are great for when you have to plonk them on the floor by you for a few minutes while you do something.
