How do you cook/bake while your baby/toddler/child is with you?

I also find, especially with the younger bubs, that sticking them on the kitchen floor/in a bouncer nearby, where they can see you, is handy because 80% of the time they don't really *need* anything, just attention, and if mummy is bustling around the kitchen talking to them and singing, it's the next best thing to being picked up and cuddled

Just what I was going to say.
Both my kids are used to me singing, and I have plenty of floor space to put small people so that worked for us.

Thanks ladies - we ended up doing most of the cooking at night once DD had gone down for the night.

We got it all done... and were decorating cookies well into the night on Christmas Eve LOL
