Does anyone have any tips on how to keep my 3 month old girl entertained? she hates her swing... hates her bouncer.. she will have "tummy time" for about 10 minutes, but gets annoyed with that pretty quick too. Mommy is losing her mind since she has a 2 year old too! I've tried peekaboo... works for maybe 5 minutes... we take long walks everyday... go outside... I'll take any suggestions please!

Here's a site with a bunch of play and learn activities. You just click on the age of the child, then click on the name of the activity and it will give you a materials list and directions. I have it bookmarked because I've found it so useful over the years. http://www.fisher-price.com/fp.aspx?st=30&e=playandlearn&ccat=play_and_learn
It's hosted by fisher-price, but I don't think that any of the activities actually require any of the products, they're mostly things that everyone has around the house.

My daughter was the same. Have you tried one of those jumpers? They are the ones you put your child in (it's like a cloth seat) the hangs from a doorway on a spring and you hang them so there feet just touch the floor and they can jump. My daughter was also like this and she would jump for at least an hour. When I bought mine they were called Johnny- Jump-Ups, and being she so young put padding around her in it to hold her upright
Good Luck

awww u probably need to hold her in ur arms more often. But its weird cuz babies love to play, anything calls thier attention. Try giving her infant toys, sing, play with her more often. Or maybe she is having some kind of pain. make sure she is having at least 2 bowelmovements a day. feel her belly is not hard. Good Luck!

hmmm...she sounds hard to please, like my first daughter. Do you have a front carrier? Do you have one of those activity gyms. I put both of mine in exersaucers around 3 months using blankets. They loved those. Music. Hmmm....can the 2 yr old make her laugh? Good luck...as you know, it gets better!

try putting her in her car seat and putting her in the bathroom and running the bath water, my daughter loves the sound of the water and it calms her down, so i just let her sit in there while i get other stuff done lol
