How do you fill your days with a good baby?

I know it's strange to ask and fees like a non problem but my others needed entertained and walked around constantly to keep happy and my life fell to sleepless misery In a messy house with ready meals where as this baby is just happy all the time so reading stories and playing is just for the pure joy rather than to calm him down I'm worried I'm not doing enough though because he's happy to roll about himself maybe I should be getting down and playing with him more than I am already.

I feel like my life hasn't flipped upside down with this arrival, my other kids are getting pretty much the same attention as before and I'm still managing shopping and cooking and the house is looking good and I'm getting little projects done so I've just realised maybe I'm not giving the baby as much attention as I should be.

What should be the aim every day?

As well as a few story books and getting fresh air every day and time on the floor playing?

How old is he op?

Never too young to start socialising. Maybe at baby massage or sensory group?

He's about six months now.

We've done baby massage course it was wonderful, I could look into local sensory classes but I just gave up another class because it was getting expensive and we kept missing it due to such an early start.

He is the perfect going for coffee/lunch buddy when I'm meeting friends

Do your local libraries have bounce and rhyme sessions on?

Dairymilkmuncher · 25/08/2018 07:05

There is some sort of class that they do and I couldn't go to with my toddler because of his other classes but this time round I should manage it's like a story telling thing with puppets I'm sure the baby would love it.

Is the aim to go to a baby group every day?
