Baby playpens are a great help during your busy day, but don’t make a habit of leaving your baby in one for very long periods of time. They need to crawl around on the floor some and experience other types of environments.
If your baby becomes fussy and he has been in the playpen for awhile then it may be time for a change. Set aside a play time where you can interact with your baby to ensure that he has the social contact that he needs as well.
