Please Help! NOW!
If you can, buy a swing. I've used them with all 3 kids, its a lifesaver.
Have a great one! I will begin to use it more. I had been using the vibrating bouncer (Kick and Play). But, she seems tired of it. Today I DID use the Aquarium Swing. Can I leave her alone with it on? ~Carol Ann Mom to Morgan born 3.24.04 http://tinyurl.com/299ot ---Pictures of Morgan |

Oh, I did also give her some Little Tummies Gas Drops and she let out a
bit of air. Perhaps she has terrible gas? *hugs* Carol I went through 2 thingys of gas drops in a year with bonnie... most of it was gone by the time she was 4 months old.. Even now if she has been crying a while it helps if I give her a tums. It is a vicious cycle they cry because they are upset then they get gas then they cry because they have gas which gives them more gas.. Gotta love gas drops Tori -- Bonnie 3/20/02 Anna or Xavier due 10/17/04 "Carol Ann" wrote in message news:Veinc.54908$kh4.3196751@attbi_s52... Morgan just won't let me put her down. She wants to be on me all the time. She eats and falls asleep. Then, when I put her down she wails. Ohhhhh ... I remember the days. And it can be so, so hard. It's most likely a(nother) growth spurt, but hearing that answer over and over isn't much help when you're in the middle of it. Probably hearing BTDT isn't much help, either, except to let you know that neither you nor your babe are doing anything wrong. Yes, I've heard this before. I tend to ask the same question over and over....sorry if it bothers anyone! I just get crazed. You can do some things to make it easier on yourself ... - give over to it ... she needs you now, just let her have you. It's hard, but will pass (I promise). I do remember the exact moment I did this, and how much better it made me feel. I do this because I hate to hear her cry. - try handing her over to a person instead of putting her down yourself. I could never put either of my babies down without them waking. DH always could. When he is here, I definitely do! He's great with her. - is there anything (besides you) that keeps her happy when she's awake? Not that I know of. I do put her in her aquarium swing with music playing. She likes that. The sound of the vacuum or the baby gym or you singing or whatever... do those things with her, so she starts to notice you as a playmate rather than a milk machine. I am going to get the Gymini Floor Mat and Activity Center and will try to use the Bjorn and Wrap when I can. - and the usual ... drink plenty of water, rest when you can, don't worry about the clock, and hang in there. It's OK and it'll be even more OK. Thanks, Marnie! I'm trying to remember the positives!! I AM greatful to have her. -- Marnie, with much sympathy -- ~Carol Ann Mom to Morgan born 3.24.04 http://tinyurl.com/299ot ---Pictures of Morgan |

I am going to get the Gymini Floor Mat and Activity Center and will try to use the Bjorn and Wrap when I can. The gym thingies worked great for me when my son was that age. Also, laying him on the bed and just laying next to him and talking to him, letting him kick his legs and wave his arms in the air. I babysat a breastfed baby once that after taking an expressed bottle and falling asleep would wake up screaming everytime you tried to lay him down. The way I got around it was by getting him used to me patting him softly on the rear end, kind of moving him up and down a little while he fell asleep, then when I laid him down, I made sure I had a blanket or something handy to lightly snug around him (not *tight* or anything, more like to give him the feeling if he happened to partially wake up that he was still being held, if that makes any sense) sort of pushed up against his back and maybe one balled up behind his rear, nothing in the front, and lain on his side. All the while still lightly patting him (he'd rustle for a minute or two) then he'd drop back off. It was the *only* thing that worked for this baby, he was about 6 weeks old at the time. Good luck, Heather DS 4/26/96 - and the usual ... drink plenty of water, rest when you can, don't worry about the clock, and hang in there. It's OK and it'll be even more OK. Thanks, Marnie!

He took a LOT of naps in it while I was in the kitchen or living room. When he got overtired, but didn't wanna sleep cause he'd miss something i'd strap him in, wind him up & off he'd go! We'd start out on speed 2 then when he'd fall asleep i'd drop it down to first gear, turn the music lower & lay on the couch & sleep while he napped. Worked a charm! Mine laid back too. It was a link a doos swing. Good luck & don't worry this too shall pass. lol If that don't work get in your pj's get a good book & a big bottle of water & get in bed with her. ) Maybe she just needs to be close to your heartbeat. Bug was breech & he slept on my chest for about the first two months. Now he still scrunches down when he's upset so he can hear it. It's cute, but he's so heavy it's not so comfy anymore. lol Take care! Jinxie & da bug |

Morgan just won't let me put her down. She wants to be on me all the
time. She eats and falls asleep. Then, when I put her down she wails. I've tried just about everything. I'm at my wits end. Please help!! My mother is now holding her, even though it makes her arm hurt. Morgan fell fast asleep in minutes. What gives??????????? ~Carol Ann Mom to Morgan born 3.24.04 http://tinyurl.com/299ot ---Pictures of Morgan |

She wants to nurse if I hold her in my arms. I'm hoping this changes with the wrap and carrier. ~Carol Ann Mom to Morgan born 3.24.04 http://tinyurl.com/299ot ---Pictures of Morgan |

I mostly wear my newborns (Baby Bjorn - and it's easy to put them in - if
you're nervous, just arrange her while she's lying down, then lean over her to attach her to the harness on your body). But when I have to put him down (two other children - very busy!), I've found that the Fisher Price Aquarium Bouncer is a godsend. I don't know what I would have done without it. He's seven months and still loves it. Karen "Carol Ann" wrote in message news:2Pfnc.54514$kh4.3150814@attbi_s52... Morgan just won't let me put her down. She wants to be on me all the time.
