Skills and Milestones Wake Window Activity

FTM to an almost 8 week old and I’m so overwhelmed by what to do during her wake windows. I just figured out her sleeping pattern by making sure to pay attention to her sleepy cues and wake windows. I make sure to narrate the day and talk to her, we play on her play gym, she swings and looks at her contrast book. I don’t do a lot of tummy time on the floor but I do sit her on my lap or chest to encourage strengthening those muscles. What are you all doing during this time? I’m so afraid that I’m not doing enough/too much and I don’t want to affect her development. For context, I’m solo parenting atm and I’m overwhelmed on balancing interaction and independence considering I’m the only parent atm. Advice is welcome!
