Watching TV can be a snuggly time together. You can cuddle up and have a constant stream of entertaining topics to chat about!

(If you want to make time for you to enjoy your own favourite TV show without interruptions, see our section on Making Play Part of Your Day!)

Playing music also adds a bit of a buzz to the day – babies love dancing (and it’s good exercise for you too!)

At other times, you might both need a bit of peace and quiet – for example, if you’re doing something together that needs concentration or if you’re reading a calming story before bed.
