I too had a baby like yours. I still roll my eyes when I see people saying that babies of that age simply don’t need entertaining and that it’s the perfect time to enjoy box sets, or to do some bloody gardening, or read, or do anything you want really while your baby sits in their bouncer, or lies on the floor on their play mat, or to slowly potter about with them in the sling on a day out.
I know there are babies like that, but their parents rarely seem to realise how good they’ve got it!
My son screamed his lungs off with genuine fury if we weren’t out and about with a constantly changing scene, walking at a fair speed.
I genuinely spent months 2-9 of his life walking around with him outside either in the sling forward facing or in the pram (for the brief periods he would tolerate it) the entire day. I was averaging 20,000 steps a day on about four hours broken sleep overnight and it was hideous.
Oh, he hated classes too until he was about 6 months. He'd scream and scream, and I would feel like such a failure seeing these placid, smiley little babies kicking around and then falling asleep in their Mummy’s arms.
I cannot emphasise how much easier and more enjoyable it’s been since he became older and therefore more mobile. That just seemed to almost immediately chill him out, and we can now spend the whole day at home playing if I want.
There’s really nothing I can advise you other than to know there are others out there who absolutely understand where you’re coming from, and who realise how bloody hard it is. Hang on in there, and just do whatever it takes for you to stay sane.
