If I can, I offer her my hand to hold instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-cmatts#post-571691 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 03:54:21 +0000 808love 571691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mainly symptoms are exhibited when I have 4 bags to carry into the house after a shopping trip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-cmatts#post-566552 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 12:08:38 +0000 purrpletulips 566552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD (will be 3 in April) doesn't have a full case of CMATT but has developed a mild case since DS' arrival 5m ago. She particularly wants me to carry her up and down the steps if I'm not carrying DS at the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-cmatts#post-566525 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 11:54:17 +0000 autumnlove 566525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awwwh. LO likes to wander around and she doesn't have CMATT yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-cmatts#post-566523 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 11:54:06 +0000 Dandelion 566523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha! DS was always pretty independent. Even now, when my dad or someone asks him if he wants to be carried, he'll usually say, "No, I'm 5 now, I can use my own legs." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-cmatts#post-566517 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 11:51:10 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 566517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw this article in Parenting magazine about the "fun" things toddlers do, and this couldn't be mire appropriate. This particular "syndrome" definitely describes DD right now (which is strange because she's always been so independent). </p> <p><b> Carry Me All The Time Syndrome (CMATTS) </b><br /> Definition:<br /> The child refuses to be put down over a 12-13 hour period. Patient is unable to extend his or her legs enough to stand on and will make horrible noises when falling beneath a parents waistline. In extreme cases, the child won't permit the parent to sit down, sometimes resulting in Collapse of the Caretaker (COTC). </p> <p>[attach=1632/13/mi7ytb.338x600.IMAG1431.jpg] </p>
