Moms, or Dads.What do you do with your baby?
Daniel’s Mum~RIP Gabriel asked:
Just out of curiosity, what do you do with your baby, when you don’t know what will make them happy anymore. My son is 9 months old, and the last 2 weeks have been horrible. He doesn’t want to be held, he doesn’t want to sit and play, he doesn’t want to lay on the floor and play, he doesn’t want to stand. He does cry, scream, fuss, drool(lol of course) and wiggle out of my grasp to be put down every 5 minutes.
I try my hardest to please him, I let him walk as I hold his hands, I sit with him and rattle anything in sight, I read, I put music on and we dance around until he doesn’t want to(5 minutes), I give an extra bottle in case he is feeling hungry still. Then I think that he might be over stimulated, and I try to quiet everything down, and try for a nap. He works himself into a frenzie and takes forever to put to sleep. I am not complaining, and I realize this is what babies do…but I wonder if I am missing something?
We try to stick to a schedule and everything happens normally at the same time each day(meals, bath, play and naps) within an hour or so.
I feel like I am letting my boy down somehow, that I should be able to better calm him and make him comfortable. Can anyone relate? And maybe offer suggestions? Thanks in advance!
He is sleeping through the night most nights, usually for 11 hours straight. He has been teething, but the 4th one has come through the gum now and he doesn’t seem to be as aggravated (pulling ears, hands in mouth) as normal.
Thanks for your answers though…a walk might work I’ll try tomorrow.
