Guest guest Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I used one of the older Snuggli baby carriers with my third child on......( I have 2 sons and 5 daughters and 11 grandchidren with 2 grandsons on the way)....it made it so much easier to prepare dinner or do something with my older boys...just going to the grocery store was easier, and all of my girls loved it. I think being on your chest and hearing your heart- beat is so comforting to tiny ones. Do you know why he is crying all of the time? Is he breastfeeding or bottlefeeding? What does your doctor think? Some babies are just fussy until their little bodies learn to adjust to this new world into which they have been thrust. My oldest daughter perfers the baby sling and in fact has learned how to make them and gives them as gifts to friends and her sisters. Email me privately and maybe I can help you figure it out. nancihank Hang in there... Nancy C. I do. I need to get it out, and use it. I hate having to let him cry to do things.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 She thinks he is just a " needy " baby. He just loves to be held/cuddled, and has a hard time winding down at night. He is breast fed. Alia> > Do you know why he is crying all of the time? Is he breastfeeding or > bottlefeeding? What does your doctor think?

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 If he was early, that could have something to do with it. He is probably just having a hard time adjusting to this old world. He will be ok in time. Nancy C. She thinks he is just a " needy " baby. He just loves to be held/cuddled, and has a hard time winding down at night. He is breast fed.

Since then I've learned that she's highly sensitive (check out http://hsperson.com/pages/child.htm), it was such a relief to finally understand how she's wired (I only discovered this a few years ago!). She had (still does!) a hard time winding down at night too, but once she did, she'd sleep through the night. We had 3 1/2 months of crying every night anywhere from 1/2 hour to 5 hours, it was draining. Wish I knew then what I know now, I was following (well meant) advice as if it were colic (it wasn't, she was overloaded and simply needed to vent since her immature neurological system couldn't handle it). I highly recommend the book, maybe your library has it - see if it fits. And know that there are others who understand! Jann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Modern mothers sneer at receiving blankets. They should embrase them. Many babies feel insecure and exposed if they are not wrapped and cry for hours. Others with sensitive skin can hate a draft, even if they are warm enough. Others are sensitive to cold. A wrapped baby is generally a content baby. Katie < wrote: " alia robinson " <aliar4 wrote: > > She thinks he is just a " needy " baby.
