it will be difficult with those witha little baby in the house too! I guess when baby sleeps have a quiet time in another room? reading books, looking at pictures, colouring, etc. I am afraid sometimes I have to stay with lucie even if it is just 30 mins reading books over and over again! to be honest she sleeps 12 hrs at night and if like today we are out and about and has no sleep, I just go with the flow! thankfully ofr us it does not seem to affect her night time ritual!
