You shouldn't have to defend yourself when you're doing what's best for your LO. People don't seem to understand that an overstimulated baby makes for a long night for the parents... even if those people had kids of their own 20 something years ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-doesnt-want-to-be-held#post-183829 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 21:24:09 +0000 mediagirl 183829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aw, poor lo and poor you! If mil becomes a serious pain, just tell her she can hold him... If she wears the carrier. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-doesnt-want-to-be-held#post-183803 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 20:58:19 +0000 obxwife 183803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: Lol, glad I'm not the only one! I did that several times and at one point, escaped inside and said I needed to feed him. I lied, he wasn't hungry - we both just needed a break! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-doesnt-want-to-be-held#post-183793 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 20:51:47 +0000 Rubies 183793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO doesn't like to be held either. When she gets fussy, I just take her and hold onto her and not let anyone else hold her. Drives people nuts but oh well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-doesnt-want-to-be-held#post-183792 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 20:51:37 +0000 obxwife 183792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Wearing is a good idea! I'll do that. :)</p> <p>@artbee: I told a few friends he was just tired and cranky and wanted to lay down but with family, I think they get offended. (cough::MIL::cough) and I don't think she believed me! LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-doesnt-want-to-be-held#post-183789 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 20:48:51 +0000 chopsuey 183789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would wear him next time! :( Sucks when LOs get overstimulated from being passed around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-doesnt-want-to-be-held#post-183785 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 20:46:25 +0000 heffalump 183785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do whatever is best for your lo. It doesn't matter if you seem rude, nobody else matters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-doesnt-want-to-be-held#post-183783 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 20:44:44 +0000 obxwife 183783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tonight I went to a cookout with some family and my LO started getting very fussy. I knew what was wrong, he was tired of being passed around. He's not a baby that likes to be held a lot or rocked - but how strange is it to ask someone to put your baby down?! Not because I care - but because he really just doesn't want to be held! </p>
