Before lockdown we'd go out and do something every day - baby groups, baby sensory, swimming etc. Now there is literally nothing to do, every day is the same and I just feel like I'm letting her down. She's so little there is not much we can do at home - she has a couple of playmats in different rooms with different toys, a bouncer and an activity center and we just seem to rotate around these all day but none of them hold her attention for long. I sing to her and try and read books but again she's so little sometimes she's just not interested. She will watch a baby sensory video on YouTube but I feel like a terrible parent parking a 5 month old in front of the tv.
I'm trying to use this time to get some schedule to her naps so just feel like I spend most of every day trying to get her down to sleep (which she hates). I just think she must be so bored and frustrated and I feel so bad for her!
Does anyone have any suggestions of what else we could try? I've tried online baby classes but they just don't hold her attention in the same way and she's restless almost before the class has started.
I know in the grand scheme of things I'm lucky in that we're healthy and safe but it's really starting to get me down.
