LO is a baby Houdini. He gets out of regular swaddles and the baby straight jackets like its nothing. Even the daycare teacher, with 30 years of swaddling experience, can't keep him swaddled! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeding-a-squirmer#post-986453 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 05:44:47 +0000 rachiecakes 986453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I used to restrain one arm under my armpit while holding the other one, lol - or use a velcro swaddle, aka baby straight jacket. DS has always been a crazy-active kid! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeding-a-squirmer#post-986426 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 04:08:30 +0000 Kemma 986426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you give him something to hold in his hand so he's distracted from popping them in his mouth?</p> <p>I have no advice but isn't it a great problem to have? :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeding-a-squirmer#post-986425 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 03:38:47 +0000 Smurfette 986425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to hold R's hands down for a while otherwise she just wouldn't eat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeding-a-squirmer#post-986424 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 03:35:37 +0000 Pepper 986424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO can be super squirmy when he's really hungry. I have been swaddling him at night, and I find that those feeds are so much smoother and less frantic because he can't kick and try to eat his hands! Have you tried feeding while swaddled? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeding-a-squirmer#post-986407 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 02:37:56 +0000 lomom 986407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is being a challenge. He's hungry but he wants to stuff both fists in his mouth, kick, and roll. I feel like practically pinning him down to stuff my boob in his mouth really fast before he can get his fists in there. </p> <p>Any advice? He's 3.5 months. </p>
