Young mothers who are at home with their children would like to do a little more than they can. I would like to pay attention to the baby, and to ensure order in the home, and you need to leave time for yourself. A very small child sleeps for a long time, and you can allocate time for everything. But as the baby grows up, it needs a lot more attention, and the sleep periods are getting shorter.
If you need to wash the dishes in the kitchen or cook something, you can place your baby closer to you - for example, in a playpen or a highchair. Choose in advance such toys that can keep him busy for a long time, and hand them over to your child at the right time. Your hands are busy, but the opportunity to communicate with the baby remains - tell him fairy tales, sing a song to the child. This greatly stimulates the development of the child's speech and will keep him busy for a while.
Easy gymnastics for a child is always beneficial. Patting, stroking, a little massage can cheer him up, after which the baby will be happy to play with toys or continue the exercises on his own. Place the child in a place where he can roll over and roll safely for himself. In the meantime, mom has a little time to complete, for example, washing the clothes. Return to the interrupted activity, try to finish it before the baby begins to demand attention again.
Evening swimming is a real treat for most kids. There is no need to purchase a bunch of expensive toys for water procedures - the child will be delighted to deal with plastic bottles in which holes are made, multi-colored caps, and foam sponges. Show your child how to pour water from a lid into a bottle, name objects, describe your actions - this will help him remember new words and names. Many mothers manage to combine bathing with a small wash or dishwashing, depending on where the baby is bathing. If the tub is on the kitchen floor, you will have about a quarter of an hour to wash the dishes.
Depending on the specific conditions, you can come up with many other similar tricks that will help you simultaneously deal with the household and the development of the child.
