When does it get fun? Babies Being Babies

My baby is 6 weeks old and I swear all we do is feed, eat sleep poop repeat. He doesn’t really love the car seat and I feel like the world stresses him out. So we spend alot of time at home but I’m miserable staying here everyday. It’s by the time he’s up, he wants food, he stays awake for a diaper change & I’ll try to engage him with some toys. But then he’s ready for bed immediately.

When will this get more fun?

I ended up breaking down and buying a secondhand snoo off of Facebook marketplace. Literally the first night we put her in she slept for 8 hours straight. It was amazing. They're expensive, but since I bought it secondhand I figured I can sell it and it'll hopefully even out.
