Am I boring her? 😩

Hi guys sorry for the questions but I’m a worried and emotional first time mum and especially atm I’ve no one to really ask about all this.
My daughter is 11 weeks old tomoro and doing well with feeding and sleeping. She’s smiley and chatty a lot of the time but sometimes when I try and entertain or play with her she seems bored and uninterested in me is that normal? Is she still to young for interacting with me? Sometimes I think she’s bigger than she is so hoping this is normal

Thanks for any tips and advice

Just bumping for you.
My dc are all grown up now and I've forgotten what babies 'do' at different times.
I do remember the stress and worry though Flowers

It's troubling times op so it's normal to feel a bit jumpy. But babies are individuals and 'playing' for a baby could be as simple as playing with her hands! What is it that you think your baby isn't engaging with? I suspect all is fine but if you can offer more detail it might mean we can reassure you with a bit more conviction.

Is it when she might be sleepy? My twins would ‘disengage’ quite obviously when they had lots of input and needed a bit of downtime if that makes sense? They’re 2yo now and I still get bored looks from them Grin

I wouldn't worry too much about this - she's still very young. I remember being concerned that my DD never seemed interested in looking at me and engaging with me singing/speaking to her when she was only a few months old. She was always more interested in what was going on around her.

I would say to just keep trying, speak to her, play with her, sing - it will all help!

Thanks guys and thanks for the bump BackforGood I think I’m worrying to much she seems to engage, smile and play when she feels like it in the morning and evening especially. Just wanted to make sure it’s normal just don’t want to bore her or not engage with her enough. I sing and chat to her but get nothing sometimes.
Hopefully I’m just overthinking it
