What to do with a fussy baby
I am now watching a usually very happy 4 month old baby boy. He is super cute but not very happy unless he’s being held. I’ve tried everything. Could anyone give me any suggestions as to what may help? I love these kids as if they were my own but it’s very difficult to take care of 3 other kids, all under 4, with a baby in my arms. I want him to be able to get the rest he needs and also be able to take care of the others. Sometimes I get very frustrated – and use humor and this blog – as a way to vent and stay sane.
*Note: This is an update to this post. The previous post been deleted. I’m sorry if I offended anyone, that was not my intent, I was just exaggerating for comical effect. Guess I’m not as funny as I thought. In an effort to keep this fun and light, I will save my sarcasm & humor for posts about people I don’t know, myself, & my kids – until my kids learn how to read, then it will just be for strangers & myself.

I would certainly be pulling my hair out! Try wearing the 4 month old…something like a moby wrap may be just the thing http://www.mobywrap.com/ I have one I used when my little boy was smaller, and my friend uses hers for her little boy too – and he is one that just wants to be held all the time. She even stuck a teether sophie giraffe so it’s right by his mouth and he just hangs out and chews all day. It does take a little getting used to though…especially if you haven’t been pregnant for a while, you forget the muscles you had to use to carry someone near your tummy 🙂
Thank you for the tip! I’m going to have to talk to his mom about getting that 🙂
