And when does it let up?
DS is 6 months old, happy, friendly, playful etc. I attachment parent, he's in a sling a lot, breastfed, co-sleep, all that malarky. He's not crawling yet, or sitting reliably.
During the day if we are in the house, he will spend his time either playing on a mat on the floor, or in my lap, some days he takes his naps in his cot, others he doesn't stay asleep very long unless held. If he is playing on the floor, he will rarely stay put more than about 10-15 mins before asking to be picked up . It means if I want to do anything about the house it has to be done when he is asleep in his cot, or with him in a sling (which can be awkward with some tasks}.
DH will take him for a couple of hours in the evening, I usually cook dinner then, but otherwise there is no one else to have him, and some days, endless rounds of horsey horsey, jingling toys at him on the floor or trying to Get Stuff Done (TM) with him in my lap trying to play with everything get a bit much.
My mother says he's spoilt because I "never put him down", but I've noticed friends' babies of the same age are much the same, regardless.
Please tell me he'll start playing independently a bit longer soon?
