baby crying while in stroller....

I dont know what has happened to my 7month old he gets so scared when i put him in stroller…he starts crying out loud and wants to get out of it… he gets calm only when i take him out of the stroller and walk around the mall with him in my arms:(…but its soo tiring…what to do?

i was taking him to the malls on weekends only since he was 2months but there was no issue he used to enjoy being in stroller and watch people and bright colors…then why now?

Maybe there is something uncomfortable about the way he sits in the stroller or something. But I am sure you must have checked that already :bummer:

Hang some toys in stroller so he can play :)

Re: baby crying while in stroller....

use a stroller with no hood...just the light-weight basic stroller so he can see you. if he sees you at all times, he'll be calm N quiet. just my guess!

Re: baby crying while in stroller…

Get him used to stroller otherwise too. Thing is, that from 6-8 months, infants develop something called “separation anxiety”. That is why the baby is acting like he is. What you need to do is put him in stroller at home. Sit behind him and talk to him every now and then so that he associates your voice with your presence, and not seeing you. OR get a stroller where he is facing you

.

Like the above. He will be fine then. Sahih?

^thats what i was thinking…
will bring his stroller in my apartment and will practice here…otherwise its soo tiring and embarassing :smack:

Re: baby crying while in stroller....

i give him toys but he just like to shout while sitting in stroller...all the people around get upset too lol

Re: baby crying while in stroller....

aww, poor kiddo. i second the suggestion on having him face you while out and about, if you have one of those strollers where the seat can switch from forward-facing to rear-facing, that is. and if he prefers being carried, how about trying out a carrier? i had the britax one and it was great, but there are lots of options in different price ranges and styles that you can try out. walmart and babies'r'us both carry them.

^good idea sgc! :k:
will definitely try baby carrier if he refused to be in stroller after practising in home…
