Hi,
After following for a while this website, I decided to ask for some help too. This isn't very easy for me, because I've been in USA just for 16 months and I don't have a good English yet. Anyway, I guess your advices are more important than my mistakes!
I'm a stay at home mom to a 2 months wonderful girl. We live in Redondo Beach and I don't know what I can do to entertain her. My family was here for Xmas (I'm from Brazil) and I think Amanda was accustomed with noise and a lot of people holding her. But now, I'm by myself. I don't have any relative in the USA and my husband works all day. I tried to go out for walk, but I'm sorry for her because the days have been cold and windy, and I don't drive. I got several toys for her, such as bouncer, swing, and 3-D activity gym. However, she gets tired pretty soon or even doesn't want to play. Does someone have any suggestion?

What can I do next?

I can remember those days so well. I know how hard it is when they are so little and you are limited on what you can do.

At 2 monhts old there aren't a whole lot of things that will "entertain" her. Walks and the park are both great dieas. If it is cold or windy see if you can get to the mall and walk around inside. Meeting other Moms is a great idea. Then you can establish a playgroup where you can connect with other Moms in your area. Look online for playgroups near you.

My kids loved to hear me sing to them and read to them at that age. Try going to the local public library and getting some board books -- Sandra Boynton has some fun ones.

You don't really have to do a lot to entertain a 2 month old. Just watching everything that is going on is enough.

If she likes noise play lots of good music. It is a great way for her to learn language plus classical music is shown to stimulate brain waves. And dancing with her is a great way to stay in shape!

Since you are in school I'm sure you have a lot of reading to do. Put your baby in your lap or in her bouncy (if she will be quiet) and read to her from the things you already have to read. It doesn't matter what the subject is. Just hearing your voice will help her a lot. And who knows maybe she'll be passing your classes on her own by the time she is 2.

Yes entertaining infants all day everyday by yourself is not easy. Go to a nearby park different days and different times maybe you'll me other mom's that live near you. Or try to find a mom's group in Redondo Beach.

Hi R.-
First of all, I think your english is fantastic! I can't imagine writing in another language. Anyway, I have a 7 week old baby girl, also. I visited my family 2 weeks ago, and the same thing happened to me. Everyone held her all of the time, even when she as sleeping, and now she wants to be held constantly. Now I'm at home with no family, and no help, and I've been putting her in a baby bjorn. She loves it. She'll fall asleep in it, and I can get a couple of things done around the house.
