Can a 10 week old be bored?

[Gilliana1]

My 10 week old girl has started to get really difficult to please. I've invested in some toys and black and white books which hold her attention for a few mins but then she cries. I've tried funny faces, silly voices, music but she just grizzles and wants to be carried over the shoulder and walked around all the time. The moment I sit down or put her down in the pram/moses basket she howls. (you would have thought the pram/moses basket gave electric shocks her reaction is so bad the moment she is put down or I keep still!)

Is this normal?!! How do I keep her entertained? I'm exhausted!

babies cry.

Oh it's hard, isn't it. But it's totally normal, tbh.
My safe bet for keeping my children happy at that time was popping them into their pram/buggy and go for looooooong walks.
What's her reaction to a bouncy chair?
If you want an easy life with children, never ever introduce to them the concept of "being bored" !

You don't keep her entertained, she's pre-programmed to want to be with you and not be left behind. Get a sling, put her in it and then do whatever you need to do.

Anything colourful, musical, or movement usually keeps them entertained. As someone already suggested being more upright so they can see whats going on, bouncy chairs.

Being carried around is much more interesting than laying on your back looking at the ceiling i should imagine.

Yes. ds1 was a very placid baby but I remember a friend coming to see us when he was about that age. I said I didn't know what was wrong with him as he lay grumbling in the moses basket with the ceiling for entertainement. She said 'he's bored', waved a wooden spoon at him, he got hold of it and was happy waving it about.

ds2 I couldn't put him down from birth. Even with toys, playmat, mobiles, he just wanted to be with me. Some babies just want their mums. Enjoy it while it lasts. Yesterday I gave him a kiss and he did that wiping with his sleeve thing and going 'bleughghghggh' at me!!

yep, sounds very much like my ds at that age. always wanted carrying around and shown things. he never ever liked his pushchair and still gets bored/ frustrated in there now at 17 months. it gets easier when they can play with toys around 12 weeks and much easier when they can sit up/ crawl etc. i hated never being able to sit down with him though, he always had me on the move and my back was killing me!
