I would be happy to overlook any messes if it bought me some time but my baby just isn’t happy on his own for too long. I think it definitely is a personality thing if a baby is able to occupy himself for extended periods of time.
definitely so. My baby makes a wreck and I’m not even referring to cleaning up after her. She’s just very demanding and expects me to hold her most of the time. My other kids were much more into playing by themselves . She needs others to play with her or she starts crying hysterically.
You can try setting up a packnplay in the kitchen while you cook or next to a window and fill it with a few special toys that dont come out. You may get alittle hands free time this way. I also keep a bucket of toys in each room around the house so as I do the morning cleanup my baby has something to keep him busy in each room.
