Managing chores with a 6month old alone

[BoyMumToBe34]

I have a six month old and would like to know how often you leave them whilst you are cleaning cooking and getting ready when no one is home to help.

I often leave him in the bouncer/rocker but I read they should only spent 20mins max.

how do you all cope with getting anything done with a small baby? His nap times are sporadic and only sleep when out in car or being pushed so I can’t do anything else anyway

If he’s not crawling then you can pop him on a playmat, or sat up with cushions around him and a load of safe toys to play with.
Move him with you to each room and bring toys for him. If you’re upstairs cleaning then pop him in his crib (ours is on the lowest setting so he can’t fling himself out), again with toys to keep him entertained.
Could also put him in a carrier or sling and he can come with you whilst you tidy up.
Pop him in the highchair when you’re in the kitchen. He can watch you cook and you can tell him what you’re doing. Or you can get toys with suction cups to attach to the tray of the chair for him to play with.
Lower your cleaning standards for a bit. Obviously stuff needs to be done, but if you don’t hoover upstairs as often as you used to, it doesn’t matter. It’s temporary and will get better.
The other option is to look at getting his naps onto a general ‘schedule’, and working on getting him to nap in his crib. Then you could have an hour or so in the morning to get ready / tidy whilst he’s sleeping. E.g get up at 7am everyday, first nap around 9ish.
