My 9.5 month old refuses to sit in the stroller , as i result i end up carrying him on our trips to stores , parks etc

Looking for suggestions on how to keep him in the stroller

Hes 9.5 months, u strap him in and done. Now he knows being carried is an option he'll prob scream blue murder but you're the parent what u say goes. I dont give my kids phones or tablets esp as babies but i see plentt of parents giving their kid a screen to keep them occupied in stroller.

My little girl hated her pushchair, we ended up carrying her most the time as well.
We tried making the pushchair more fun, popped her in it for varying lengths of time when we were in the house, and played with her in it, so she got over the horror of it 😅
She still throws a tantrum sometimes, and I do have to bribe her with snacks to make it home without being screamed at the whole walk but she is much better than she was

Have you tried a trike? Mine absolutely hates the pram (always has) but loves his trike and is in it 2/3 times a day.

My daughter, at the same age, hated the stroller, but I'm a single mom so I needed her in it to do shopping. So sometimes it was a nightmare, but what she hated was the shoulder straps pinning her down. If you're using those, I arranged mine to just be around her waist so she could sit forward more and look around and still be unable to get out. She was then much happier, and because she could roll and move her head and sit up, being pinned back was what made the stroller so awful for her.

I'm gonna to agree with Gina as well!
I'm not letting my toddler rule the roost,
Some things are non negotiable 🤷🏼‍♀️

Totally agree with Gina. You are the parent and the adult so there should be no ‘refuses to…’ especially at 9 months old.
What if they start ‘refusing’ to sit in the car seat? Would you stop using that too?

Only way I can is by giving her snacks non stop

Hi everyone this is an old post but can anyone recommend a trike? I have a serial stroller hater, relieved I’m not alone! Went for a walk with a mum friend and I couldn’t believe her baby sat in his stroller for over and hour without any noise 😅

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism
