For DD1 we put her in a smallish swing (like a bouncer) in the middle of the dining table to keep her out of reach of the dogs. We also used baby gates in some of the doorways. The other option would have been to put the car capsule up on the table out of reach.
GL! She'll learn soon enough. I've been using the ring sling for this bub.
My DD is a climber, so putting DS on the table or bench wouldn't work. I have a swing but as DD already pokes him when he is in the hammock, i don't think it would work by itself. Might work in the porter cot though
helle, eyeballs are pretty exciting here too- might work on teaching that they are 'special'
DH's suggestion was a velcro wall, and putting DD in a velcro suit
Sometimes she can be gentle, and i know she just wants to play. i think i have a bit of baby blues today which makes it a bit harder.
HotI. Hope you're getting plenty of care and support yourself
They do settle down with a bit of time. I had to laugh at the velcro suggestion. She'd probably love it.
gorgeous! Do you have anyone to come and take dd for a while? My midwife helped me by helping me see dds touching, pulling, yanking, smothering of the baby as normal! It still happens too, just now I don't have to stress so much (especially since ds is a giant and is almost as big as dd at ten months)
In answer to your question...my ds loved his rocker and seriously spent hours in there asleep in the lounge room...I just hid him behind the two couches (that sounds terrible! But what I mean is the vouches form a dead space in the corner of the room, so I'd put the rocker there...only if he was asleep though). For us it was out of sight out of mind.
My friend got a happy hang up hammock that hung from the ceiling in her lounge room.
Otherwise playpen for baby, or baby gates into a spare room near you.
Ds also spent a lot of time asleep on his change table, which was next to the kitchen (in the laundry).
