Can you read to him instead? Calm sitting down activity, no energy required. Or if you have to resort to screen time, can you sit and watch with him, and talk to him about what's going on, so he's still getting stimulation and interaction rather than just being babysat by the box?

@sapphire54925 brilliant! Maybe get a bunch of new books and do that instead of TV? Also new books would be a good "new baby" present
