LO only wants to be held and walked

My two month old only wants me to hold him and walk him around. I can’t sit and hold him, I have to constantly be moving or he will fuss. He also isn’t sleeping as good as he used to. He hardly naps during the day and at night his sleep has regressed a little. He isn’t running a fever or act like he’s sick but he’s gotta be uncomfortable right? Or is this normal??

Our girl has done the same thing.. do you have a baby carrier? We eventually figured out she wanted the stimulation of new sights, so we were able to lay her down as long as we actively played with her also. But carrying her in a carrier is a help.

You’re not alone 🫶🏽My LO Is 10 weeks old and is going through the same exact thing. I usually have her in her carrier and walk around the house. Walk out to our balcony for a min, stare outside or I’ll have her in her bouncer facing me while I’m doing the dishes. She becomes distracted. Music actually helps her calm down a little lol purple rain by prince is her fav rn😂🩷 I started at 7pm a snack than bath than a bottle and she’s off to sleep with some music 🩷 the bath has been working for us

Baby carriers are my best friend!! Definitely try yoga ball or rocking chair if you have one. Mine tends to rock while I lean back as far as I can. Or if you have a baby swing my guy has been loving his swing. Visual stimulation also has been helping us a lot. I got some different black and white cards, books, toys etc and these seem to keep him distracted for a little bit when I put him down in his bouncer or under his play gym. It will pass. Just a phase they go through at this age. Hang in there momma. 💗💗

Sounds like you’re going through the second leap!! Have you heard of the wonder weeks? My 8 week old is doing the exact same behaviours. Annoying but it will pass soon x

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Invited to a chuckie cheese party but I don't have money and don't want to tell my daughter that's why we can't go. Does anyone know how their parties work?

I'm not sure how chuckie cheese parties are. If they give you money to play or not if you're in the party. And then I'm wondering if it's an actual birthday party or if they're just going to chuckie cheese. Some guy in my building told me a couple weeks ago that his son's birthday is today and he's thinking of doing chuckie cheese. They sent an invite but I feel so insecure not being able to afford anything. Like if they don't have food for example. Idk what to do.

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!

Owlet

Anyone else’s owlet driving them mad?? It goes off 5/6 times night saying it can’t get a reading and needs a snug fit. My baby is 8 months old so moves a lot. It is driving me insane and I keep end up taking it off! Anyone had similar issues?
