My husband and I both hold her upright.<br /> But she'll let my mom hold her in pretty much any position! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-hold-your-lo#post-202200 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 13:46:29 +0000 banana 202200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always held him upright because he had reflux as an infant. He didn't like being cradled much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-hold-your-lo#post-202195 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 13:43:07 +0000 Weagle 202195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Upright unless she's sleepy. When she's sleepy and upright, she tries to fight sleep by banging her head on my collarbone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-hold-your-lo#post-201690 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 07:04:28 +0000 heffalump 201690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO had reflux so she preferred to be upright. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-hold-your-lo#post-201670 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 06:28:59 +0000 cvbee 201670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>upright since the beginning</p> <p>cradle seems to give him ideas about eating when he's not hungry </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-hold-your-lo#post-201666 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 06:26:46 +0000 chopsuey 201666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We cradle held her for the first 2-3 months, then started holding her upright.

It also relieved his gas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-hold-your-lo#post-201637 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 01:53:36 +0000 bpcmarj 201637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Upright, almost always. She loves to rest on my shoulder and wrap her arms around me. It's like she's already hugging at 7 weeks:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-hold-your-lo#post-201628 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 00:36:23 +0000 autumnlove 201628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hold her upright! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-hold-your-lo#post-201627 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 00:26:23 +0000 skibobrown 201627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to always hold her in the cradle position. Now I alternate between upright, and cradle. If I'm trying to calm her down I still always do cradle b/c when she's upright she likes to practice her head control, and she gets really wiggly and excited. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-hold-your-lo#post-201625 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 00:23:02 +0000 sandy 201625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I almost always hold her upright...ever since she was a newborn she preferred to be upright. My husband holds her upright too but sometimes he tries to hold her sideways and she just looks awkward and uncomfortable </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-hold-your-lo#post-201617 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 00:09:29 +0000 pinkcupcake 201617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to hold her in the cradle position, but I've noticed lately she prefers to be held upright (she's a little over 4 months old). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-hold-your-lo#post-201612 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 23:34:55 +0000 mamajaja 201612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've noticed that I usually hold our LO in the upright position, but DH usually always holds her sideways. </p>
