What general advice would you give for Mums of 6-8 month olds?

It feels like we're coming into a new chapter and new chalanges.

Everything from being hyper curious about 'whats on the other side of the nappy change mat?' And having less independant play time, because we want to do sitting all the time, but will fall over if unsupervised.

I'm accepting that I need to do a bunch of food prep, cut down on cooking/chores time, and get bub out of the house for more activities to improve sleep. Any other tips?

What helped you get through this period?
