Ok, so today's Works for me Wednesday is backwards, and I'm supposed to ask a question. In light of my recent failure at cooking a weeks worth of food in one day, and my constant failures at getting in the kitchen on a daily basis and getting supper on the table since I had my now 3 month old...
How do you suggest to keep a 3 month old entertained and happy long enough to make supper for my family?
Any attempts at advice would be soooo hugely appreciated!!! I'm going crazy.
My now 4 month old likes to sit/stand in a bouncer that is hung from the kitchen door frame. I can keep an eye on her and keep my hands on the food. Before she could do that I would put her in her bouncy chair or her bumbo seat at the door frame. That way I can also talk to her some while I cook. She is entertained by watching me, but out of the way.
ReplyDeleteI used the swing or bouncy seat with my now 15 month old daughter. With my newborn son (3 weeks old) I have been putting the Boppy or bouncy seat on the kitchen counter that way he is out of my daughters reach, :-)
ReplyDeleteI set my DD right next to me in her bouncer or Bumbo seat.
ReplyDeleteSome other ideas (which I have read but not really tried) might be to use the crock pot more often. Or, instead of a weeks worth of cooking, when you are cooking a dish, cook a double batch and freeze the other half. That way you are only cooking once for 2 meals. Congrats on your new LO!
