The methods included:
• Watching dancing flames (fires have been lit in July for this purpose alone).
• Lying under washing-lines (clean clothes have been strung up, indoors, just for babies to watch).
• Watching budgies (‘Only you must have two, so they are active and noisy enough’).
• Looking at Op Art patterns in books. (At last, a use for the 1960s. New babies are programmed to be more interested in complicated things than in the simple, bold patterns which toddlers enjoy. Something to do with enabling them to enter a complex world.)
• Putting the carrycot on a washing-machine on fast spin (mind it doesn’t vibrate off).
• Propping the baby up in a lean-back seat to watch kitchen activity, front-loading washing-machines, or just about anything. (I have long thought that a lean-back seat with a slowly revolving turntable might find a market.)
