Yeah Ella does that too, blimmin daredevil babies!
And despite my mother's laughing comment when she did eventually crack her head on the coffee table after a particularly violent leap off the couch, "Well she'll only do that once!" She keeps on doing it, slow learner!!]]> Wed, 11 Oct 2006 17:35:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4032&PID=77714&title=play-time-with-your-newborn#77714 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4032&PID=77687&title=play-time-with-your-newborn#77687 Author: Maya

Well... Hannah's a climber... and I decided jumping on the bed was more relatively safe than climbing up onto the back of the couch and leaping off ]]> Wed, 11 Oct 2006 15:33:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4032&PID=77684&title=play-time-with-your-newborn#77684 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4032&PID=77662&title=play-time-with-your-newborn#77662 Author: Maya

Well Hannah's got a nicer Mum than Maya coz Maya's Mum growls and says "no more monkey's jumping on the bed!"

But I second the six times in a row bit....

Argh... make the most of them needing limited active play.

While I love jumping on Han's bed with her... there is only so much I can take of her jumping on me!!!

Newborns are pretty easy to play with... all the things you do instinctively like smile, cuddle and talk to them are the most important

I used to read to Maya, that was the extent of our play time when she was small. The rest of the time she either played under her baby gym or in her bouncer. I did the wake, feed, change, play, feed, sleep thing that Plunket recommended with the aim of the game being to get it done in an hour so they don't get too overtired, so her playtime was usually only 10 minutes or so.

Am still contemplating the logistics of feeding and changing 2, haven't gotten around to thinking about playing yet ]]> Wed, 11 Oct 2006 14:53:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4032&PID=77648&title=play-time-with-your-newborn#77648 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4032&PID=77626&title=play-time-with-your-newborn#77626 Author: EthansMummy

Ok that is nice to know. I usually only play with him for about 10-15 mins on the floor but always sit and talk to him after or before feeds. ]]> Wed, 11 Oct 2006 14:29:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4032&PID=77626&title=play-time-with-your-newborn#77626 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4032&PID=77620&title=play-time-with-your-newborn#77620 Author: james

I keep Micky up for about an hour and half during feed time he will often doze between that time, but as long as you chat to him and give him time on the floor that is enuf his best toy at the momnet is you so he does not need alot of time playing with toy's. ]]> Wed, 11 Oct 2006 14:07:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4032&PID=77611&title=play-time-with-your-newborn#77611 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4032&PID=77608&title=play-time-with-your-newborn#77608 Author: EthansMummy

Ethan is now 6 weeks old and I am wondering if I spend enough time playing with him on the ground with toys for under his playgym.

My question to you is: How long do you/did you spend playing with your newborn??]]> Wed, 11 Oct 2006 14:04:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4032&PID=77608&title=play-time-with-your-newborn#77608
