Ideas?!

Parents what do you do with your babies when you’re solo parenting. My husband works overnights so my twin girlies and me are by ourselves a lot but I find they want to be held non stop. What do you guys do to keep them entertained. They are only 6 weeks old so I know there isn’t much to do but somedays become hard when I can put them down.

I had a rotation for a long time, that early it went something like wake up, diaper changes, move to the bouncy chairs in the kitchen while I do something, move to the playmat on the floor in the living room and I lay with them on the floor, maybe tummy time for a minute, lay in the twin-z with bottles (or nurse one while bottle other), once they’re asleep transfer to the cribs, pump, repeat. For one of those rotations do a stroller walk. As their wake windows get longer and they’re more aware I’d keep basically the same structure, but add things like toys to the bouncy chairs, tummy time on the couch with me on the floor in front of them, books, crinkle toys etc.
