My LO has outgrown his swing and I'm not sure where to put him to relax. Since he is a BIG spitter upper, we usually feed him and then let him sit in his swing for a half hour to an hour with so with some toys to digest. Other than that, we just let him play on a big floor mat and his excersaucer but neither of those are good for relaxing.
Now that he can flip himself out of the swing (yes, even with the harness) I am trying to think of some new ideas or products to get. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks:)
Re: Where do you put your 6 month old to relax?
If he is just wanting to sit but not okay, I usually hold him. He will kick back on me and we will read or he will chew toys. If he wants to play we sit on the floor and he goes through his toy bucket.
He sits in his bumbo when I'm in the kitchen and that gives me time to do dishes and fold laundry. Gotta figure something else out though because his legs are starting to get stuck in the bumbo.
DS hasn't been in his swing for months now. He normally will hang out on the floor with some toys or in his exersaucer/walker when I am getting something done. He is also a big spitter and I used to try to avoid things that would cause him to spit up, hoping it would stop. The spitting hasn't stopped and I'm not going to limit activities and play that are helping his development because he spits everywhere. I just deal with it by cleaning up the spit and doing tons of laundry. It is what it is!
When DS gets restless late in the afternoon (when he used to have his catnap), I will put him in his crib, pull his blind 3/4 of the way down and turn his mobile on. He usually just lays there and babbles for a good 15 minutes which seems to help him relax and recharge for the rest of the evening.
