Keeping a 9 month old entertained

4 replies

We live in the middle of nowhere and DD is nine months old. Up till now, I’ve been taking her to playgroups and classes etc, but obviously that’s all off. How do I keep her, well, socialised? She loved other children and interacting with them. Too small for FaceTiming etc. Any thoughts? (I know this isn’t a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but any advice welcome!)

At that age they don't really get much from other kids generally, so I wouldn't worry about the socialising stuff too much. There's a couple of years before that starts to be relevant. All they need at that age is attention from you! Smile

No real ideas but I'm in the same position. My 9 month old loved nursery and I'm so upset for her that's she can't go.
I do know some baby music groups have moved online, could you look into that? I've not done any so not sure how well it works.

Honestly they don’t need a lot of entertaining at that age, let them crawl about and play as normal. Carry in sling if they’re being fussy. Babies really don’t have a clue and very adjustable. Just carry on as you normally would at home,

Thanks for getting back to me. I know it’s not supposed to matter much, but she did absolutely love seeing other kids, and you could see her hoovering up stuff from them... urgh. I hate all this.
