Crying in pram

This has just happened to me whilst I’ve been out! I felt so awful🥲
Have you got a sling you can use instead so baby is on you instead? My little one loves to be on me so a sling is ideal as I can’t carry her and push the pram around for long as it becomes too much x

Don't worry at all it's so normal to feel like this, but remember: we are so in tune with our babies cries but strangers aren't at all, so they likely won't be bothered by it at all. As long as babies needs are met ie they aren't hungry, cold, hot or have a dirty nappy then it's normal for them to cry before falling asleep. I usually just pop some white noise on and stick that in the pram that seems to have worked for both my bubs in calming them down. I don't really have the luxury of picking them up with two in tow and a dog 🫣 so white noise has been my saviour!

White noise or music a dummy …. Middle finger to dirty looks and comments … 🤷‍♀️

LO sleep cry’s on an off all the time and cry’s when he’s trying to poop can’t help him with that just got to let him get on with it sounds bad if you don’t know the types of cries but we know

I transfer baby to the sling (baby wrap) when they start crying and go out with baby in carrycot only a certain time of day when I know they are settled between 1-3pm. Maybe you can work out when they go into a deep sleep and go out then?

I used to worry about this with my daughter alllll the time but honestly nobody will even notice it just feels so much worse for you! So just try to stay calm and keep doing whatever you’re doing that moment. As someone else says, as long as their needs are met. Babies cry and it’s okay and anyone who has a problem needs to get a grip! X

I had this the other day and 3 people seperatley walking past made an 'oh somebody's not happy comment' 🤬 was my first thought. Babies cry, you're doing nothing wrong at all ❤️ xxx

What works for us is ….

Also using the sling - he loves being in that! X

With my first, she hated the pram and basically we couldn’t use it for the first 6 months. I’d always end up just pushing an empty pram. Sometimes babies just don’t get on with the pram/bassinet. I think she also generally struggled to be on her back. The carrier worked much better for us. She was a total koala baby and lived in it. I would always be responsive at this early stage and if baby is crying would pick them up. Of course you can wait a few mins if it’s just more of a fuss but if it’s a cry cry then yes picking them up. Don’t feel judged or silly. You can keep trying the pram. You can pick up soothe, put back down, try for a few mins and repeat. Or you can leave it longer if preferred. It’s really up to you and what works best. You know your baby best. Sometimes they do just need a 5 min cry and will be fine.

I felt like everyone thought I was starving my baby when she was crying on the school run the other day. Haven’t been out much because she cries when put down. Today I took the ergobaby embrace Carrier on our walk and had to stop with the pram and put her in the carrier instead 🫤 pay all that money for a pram and a cot and she doesn’t even use it 🫠
