Yeh I’ve got two now M/A but I still have questions…
My little guy is now 7 months old M/A; but recently he’s developed the most annoying habit.
He will scream and cry bloody murder if you’re not sitting within reach of him and if you’re not activily talking to him.
I can’t get anything done. Its super annoying.
And I’ve trained him to that we kiss him goodnight and put him in the crib to fall asleep (if you guys remember we had a really hard time with the older one so started young with this one) OMGGGGGG
now the little ONLY I mean ONLY sleeps in my bed with me whilst holding my shirt.
leaving me feeling like because I got no rest at night
The first problem is normal.... A baby at this stage sees his mom going away and realizes that it cant follow.... Get a play pen with wheels and move him around with u... Tjats what i used to do... Or put him in an excersaucer and just take it with u wherever u are in the house. Pain in the ass but its a stage, he will grow outta it.
The 2nd issue... How did he get in ure bed in the first place?!
U were on the right track... Should have stuck toit as babies need consistency.
Sounds just like my daughter. I think they get used to being the center of attention, and don't know what to do if the conversation isn't centered around them. It's gotten better as she's gotten older, but she was just doing it today with my SIL-to-be!
The sleep issue became bad for her a bit later than 7 months. We made the mistake of bringing her in the bed, and then she didn't want to leave. The current solution is converting the crib into toddler bed and sticking it right against the bed. She sleeps in there happily. Khawa is right, they get older and are more aware of their surroundings and your absence. You just have to keep retraining them, I guess.
Speration anxiety peaks at 6-7 months. Don’t be surprised by his behavior. He’ll calm down once this stage is over. You can read more about it here Separation anxiety in babies and toddlers | BabyCenter .. compare your baby’s behavior with what’s written on the website. Hope it helps.
Muniya it sounds like you are talking about my daughter...we are going through both issues....like Khawa said i having been moving her around with me so she continously sees me and yes she too sleeps in my bed holding my shirt.............even when she takes her naps she holds on to my shirt...at first it was super cute but not so much anymore!!!
oh God, that is exactly my 7 months old son! I get NOTHING done either :s
and he likes movign around a lot at night, sleeps with us and kicks the hell out of me. If I put him in the crib after he;s gone to sleep, he'll cry bloody murder after a few mins and I'm sooo sleepy that I have no option but to bring him to bed with me so we can both sleep
Good to know its not just me and some very sound advice.
Thanks ladies. :)
Love the site!!
The bed thing happened because he was very sick last week and slept with us for a minute.
Then his grandma who watches him during the day lets him sleep with her all the time.
Aww thats so cute. I know of some babies that do this and I hear it goes away with time. My son still sleeps with me and he is almost 2 alhamdullilah but I love waking up next to him. There will come a time when they will want to sleep alone. I would cherish this time. Maybe you can nap when he naps?
Same story here with my 6 months old. He cries and screams on the top of his lungs and won't stop until I pick him up. I don't remember my elder two being this way. I call this one High Maintenance. :o
I have to take him around the house whereever I go. When I am in the kitchen I put him in his bouncer or high chair. He would be quiet for a while but that doesn't last very long. Once he decides that he no longer wants to sit by himself ronay ka drama shuro.
For the absolute chipkoo bachay… Baby bjorn them. Atleast u guys will get some work done… My friend used to carry hers around like that… Kudos to her… I woulda broken my back…or the kid
Munnya: restart slep teaining by placing him in a crib by ure bed… Thhen slowly move him out… I think right now, getting him to sleep in his own bed will be xhallenge enuff… Its really difficult… But doable still.. Theit brains get sharper as they age so its gonna be an uphill battle if more time goes by.
Khawa - The baby bjorn is a good idea when they aren't able to grab things. Once that happens, not very safe to have them on you when you're cooking and using knives to cut up stuff :p
My 9 month old is the same too! I'll just leave him on the kitchen floor with me, and as long as I'm in front of him he's good. If I leave even for a few seconds to grab something, he screams bloody murder. Good exercise for the lungs, I say :D
Siley: its those malaysian wraps my friend has… Kid cant get his hands out… I honestly think hers was either too dumb to wanna do anything… Ot the most laid back child one could imagone!
Midget refused the baby bjorn from 6 months of age!
And u would die if u were to carry ure son whilst doing household chores.. He is like a baby bear mashallah
Men are such weaklings… I wonder what makes us mums so dheet and be totally ok with the cio method? Is it the sleep deprivation?
My husband now praises me for haing the heart to do the cio method which settled our son into a good sleep routine quite early, but when i was doing it… Jesus at one point he swore to not reproduce with me ever again :d
because I got no rest at night
