What u guys do to keep them entertained in the home.
My 11 month old is whining all the time for me to sit with her or pick her up. Only thing she likes is to watch baby tv. I knw its not good for her, but i get soooooooooo tired that i sometimes turn tv on for her to watch.
I do play with her and all but she has started to get bored in like 5-10 mins.
I'm soooooooo agitated right now.

lol, it happens exactly the same thing to me and my 10 mths old. He doesn't even like baby tv (well, only that silly cheffy the chef program coz he likes the record, I think).
The most annoying is when I'm trying to work on th computer and he comes next to me climbingon my knees and whines comntinously lol
If you get any ideas, let us know :-)

2 things are needed: More stimulation & a schedule. At this age, babies are learning their environment. If you're daughter is not moving around, possibly getting into everything, then there's a problem. She shouldn't be just sitting on the ground to begin with. By putting her on a schedule, (and yourself), you will reduce the amount of whining (which is for your attention). You may start with reading a book together; make sure it's age appropriate for her to handle. You could sing the ABCs or other such songs. Hide-n-go seek with a blanket over her head for seconds at a time can come next (this is great when you need to fold laundry). Then, have a little "dance time" where you and her shake it up. A schedule may include "down time" where there is nothing to do but point at things and name them. Whatever you decide, write it down to help you stick to it. As these things begin to become weary, replace them with something new. A great trick w/toys is to pack them into 2 containers, alternate playing with those in 1 for a week, then, putting them up and playing w/those in the second. Putting the toys away can also be another activity! Learning requires hands-on stimulation often for us adults as well, so if she would happen to whine while you're sitting w/her or holding her, just think, "what an incredibly bright child I have!" What your daughter needs more than anything is active interaction with a real live you! Trust me, a day will come when she won't want any interaction w/you....it's called adolescence. :)

Get your doctor to prescribe you something for anxiety, so you will be calm but not sleepy. Don't feel guilty about the baby watching TV. You have to take care of yourself too so that you can be a sweet mommy and not a too stressed out mommy. Relax but stay awake., or sleep when baby is sleeping. You may need to put baby in the crib and take a shower or something to relax.

I agree with peaches, you need be relaxed yourself, before you can expect your child to be the same.
With my daughter, I involved her in everything that I did, then I just cleaned up after ward. If I was cooking I would sit her near the bench and giver her some of the ingredients to play with and talk to her about what I was doing, what the ingredients was etc. There was always a mess after ward, but at least she was busy and occupied.

Buy some things she can move around
and place in a box, or a small basket.
Also Plastic foods.
Toys that move.

You sound like you need a change of scenery...take her for a walk, go to the park, the mall...anything.
