My newborn is 8 weeks old and everytime I take her out of the house (outside, my parents, or out to eat) she cries frantically! I try to introduce things to her that she is comfortable with at home, such as holding her closely, putting her in her swing, and even breastfeeding... she does not care. She does not want to be out of the house. If she falls asleep, she wakes up and realizes that it is a completely different environment, so she starts crying again.
Should I keep her at home and comfortable, to let her realize that the world is a safe place, by keeping things predictable (babies love repitition), or should I try to get her used to being out of the house? What if she has to be babysat in a different environment, or if I just want to get out of the house with her?
Does anyone have any suggestions? Don't get me wrong, my daughter is a complete sweetie pie. :)
