[quote=Anonymous]OP, if you're still listening after all of the above hatred, I have a suggestion. At about 8 months, your child is becoming extremely curious about the world but still lacks mobility. This is what worked for me: Stuff a large canvas bag with odd things, not toys, that are safe for her to put into her mouth. I mean really weird things that you have around the house, like potato mashers, a jar with coins inside, a safe-plastic shoe insert. Keep them in the bag so she can't see them. When she starts to act up (she's bored), whip out an item and let her hold it, put it in her mouth, bounce it off her chair. Have at least 15-20 of these items in the bag, and change them out for different things every other day. Bring that bag everywhere that you take the baby. Be creative! This made my baby very happy and curious and . . . content. [/quote]
