I have a 6week that wants to be held all the time?

Question

I am wondering when he go to daycare will it be a problem. I even give him a pac. and make sure he is kind up sitting up in seat and bouncer because he don't like to lay back.

Answer 1

He's just little so give him a cuddle. If its a question of having to do other things (which we have to do) then try putting him in a sling and put it on around the house. You could try swaddling him a bit, try one of those round play mats that is like a bit doughnut - not so much to play with yet but it may make him feel secure. Try lots of different things, my first loved his car seat and bouncing chair, my second was the bean bag.

Answer 2

I held all my 6 babies all the time because they got used to me holding them.
Put the kid down and go do the dishes. Afetr a while the child will be content to be near you without being on you.
Have a chair or bassinet near where you are working or sitting.
Moms will get to a point where they can't even use the restroom without the child going ballistic....you will start to resent the child....so take naps when the baby does...eat healthy light meals...and I wish you well..This is the most challenging time of your life.

Answer 3

I think it's strange to hear of a 6wk old that DOESNT want to be held all the time. If you were a defenseless little baby living in a world of giants, I think you'd want your mommy or daddy to hold you too. This shouldnt be a problem when he goes to daycare, the caretakers are well acquainted with the temperaments of babies.

Answer 4

I think he'll get over it when he has to. I'm told I wanted to be held a lot when I was that age, and I confess I still like it. I managed to get through school somehow.

Answer 5

I think you are blessed that your baby wants you to hold him. That's how the parent-child bond develops.
