Is there a toy you'd recommend to keep Ava
occupied for me to cook/clean/sit for 5
minutes without going get her down the
hall or sitting in the corner eating
something she found on the floor. She's
not interested in any of her toys or her
jumperoo anymore. Jugs of water and
cheerios keep her occupied for about 10
minutes, which is the most. What about a
walker? Would you recommend it?

i am extremely anti-walkers. i've read
some astounding statistics regarding them
and injuries and i can't believe they're
still on the market. it's not just stairs
you need to be careful about, they can
catch on things and tip over or they can
roll up to counters and pull things down
on top of them. i know a lot of people
have them though, so it is up to you.
will she not play in her playpen or crib?
i usually put finn in his crib with a
bunch of toys and he'll play in there on
his own for at least 30 minutes. if he's
not having the toys, i'll give him baby
safe household items like tupperware and
cups.

She won't play in her crib and she'll only
stay in her playpen for a few minutes then
realizes that she's confined and wants to
get out. I found that tupperware keeps
her pretty happy for a little while.

When my daughter was little, .I had a
cubbord that had tupperware, and small
pots and pans that she'd get into and play
with. It worked
mostly they like stuff that isnt theres,
so giving her huosehold things that arent
dangerous seems to work. jordynne loves
the remote she will scoot herself to grab
it if she sees it on the floor. the big
plastic spoons too and a tupperware then
she can make all sorts of noise, babies
love making racket for some reason lol.
maybe but a baby gate up by her room door
and let her play in there maybe the
somewhat freedom will occupy here ands he
cant get into anything she isnt supposed
to.
