Thank you. I didn't get notification for this so I only see this now.
No my daughter would not kick calmly on her back, she was a happy camper until abt 5 mos when she did only that.
She turns to tummy and now also crawls (or creeps). I give her different toys but if I walk away for 10-15 minutes she starts moaning (I don't know what is the exact word to that sound she makes), makes crying grimaces, so I can't even cook her anything , for example, without her being impatient and making me come back. Talking to her from some distance would not help. When we play or read books TOGETHER she is fine.... Is this just a developmental stage? I guess I should be able to do at least some things while she is awake?
Also I feel super guilty whatever I do about her going out in the park. She is now crawling and trying to sit, so she needs exercise, when we go to the park she is in the stroller and is confined. But she needs fresh air too. So I go back and forth between what is best and how to ensure her development is not curbed by me, often times we do 1hr park, 1hr at home, but it's running up 5 flights of stairs with her, stroller so many times. I would appreciate if someone helped me frame this obsessive worry.
Also what people do in the park with, now, 7 month old? We go to swing, touch water fountains in the kids park, touch trees etc, but it's too little for 1 hr in the park. We did picnic before she started crawling, but now we can't, where we are they spray chemicals on the grass.
