More often than not you don’t get those 5 minutes and you end up hanging the washing up with a baby on your hip, sitting on the toilet with your baby tearing up loo roll or making dinner with your toddler biting your toes.
Here are 5 hacks which may help to distract your baby to give you precious time back in your day!
- Fill a box or drawer

- Save a special toy
- Fill a bag

- Kitchen Utensils

- Activity centre
Baby activity centres that have a seat are fantastic for keeping baby in one spot as they start to get mobile and make your life a little easier.
Don’t be tempted to get rid of these too early – even as babies learn to walk you can use the activity centre to keep them busy (and in the same spot) for 5 minutes.
Top tip is to put the activity centre at the door of the bathroom so you can keep an eye on baby as you take a shower or go to the loo – added entertainment for them and peace of mind for you!

I hope some of my tips will help make your life easier and give you that all important time back to get things done that can often seem impossible with a mini human around.
