What do you do with your baby when awake?

Hi, sorry for the weird title 😅

My boy is 6 months, he doesn't roll, he doesn't crawl, he doesn't sit and he hates tummy time and being on his back. I understand that - his mind tells him to move around, but his body says no. He is a major talker though.

I am seriously running out of ideas of what to do when he's awake.

I force him to roll and do tummy time about 4 times a day. We go for walks with him in the pram. We play in front of the mirror (him sitting on my lap). He has some fun activities while in his high chair. We attend baby swimming class every Friday and we go for drives. But when we are home - what can I do with him? Some days we just end up sitting, staring at the wall because I am so exhausted.

He doesn't want me to put him on the floor so he can just be, eat toes and try to roll. He will scream his lungs out.

He has a bouncer, and he does like that a bit. But because of his (now fixed) torticollis he developed a flat spot that still hasn't resolved, so I panic when he's been on his back for long. Can he even be in his bouncer for a few minutes while I clean?

I'm exhausted, running out of ideas and would to hear what you do 😅
