Entertaining my baby

Hi. My 10 month old son is so mischievous. His favourite games are pulling everything out of my bag/cupboards/drawers etc, climbing up the stairs and generally playing with things he shouldn't be. Obviously there are time when im cooking or whatever when i cant give him my full attention. Any ideas what I can do to keep him entertained?

  • @Bethan123 when it comes to the drawers and cupboards stick child locks on them so that only you can open them. If he gets into the kitchen and that worries you, get a child safety gate. Lindon ones are good. If your cooking maybe put him in a room that has a safety gate on it so he can't get out but you can still see in and hear everything and if you want him doing something in the kitchen with you then try a travel cot as a playpen, but only if he doesn't climb out.Or a high chair to have him sat in with some of his favourite toys or book, etc. x
