Is anyone else able to carry their baby much longer than anyone else? I have a 7 month old and people who are quite obviously stronger than me (including husband) put baby down or hand back because arms are aching!
Im here like how do you think I manage all day!

I have this with every single of one of my kids. My 3 year old had to get carried into nursery by a member of staff as i had my hands full and the managers response youre getting heavy. My mum comes down and says her legs ache from bouncing my 3 and 2 year old. She will hand back my daughter as soon as possible or pop her down as shes heavy too. Shes the lightest of them all

Yes. I don’t drive so carry my 3 year old a lot, mostly on my shoulders now, but people complain so much quicker than I do. I can carry my daughter pretty long distances if I need to. I think it’s definitely mum thing from usually being the primary caregiver and building up that strength.
