At 8 months, he still does it occasionally but mostly just when I'm trying to get him in the car seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wont-sitarches-back-help#post-846445 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 21:51:05 +0000 shopaholic 846445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: already?!?! yikes!<br /> @googly-eyes: We are doing a lot more floor time. Thanks. I guess I can only hope she will sit soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wont-sitarches-back-help#post-846429 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 21:43:46 +0000 junebugmama 846429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Jax started it at 10 weeks! I had to stop using the seat and swing because he could manage his way out of it. It was really frustrating </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wont-sitarches-back-help#post-846407 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 21:30:47 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 846407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's totally normal, fret not. Em does it sometimes too. I'm thinking it's a girl thing. H used to chill wherever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wont-sitarches-back-help#post-846396 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 21:26:06 +0000 fancyfunction 846396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry you're going through this! Lady M tends to do this when she doesn't want to sit in her bouncy seat, her whole body goes stiff and I know I just can't force her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wont-sitarches-back-help#post-846394 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 21:25:05 +0000 googly-eyes 846394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's normal but I don't really have any suggestions, sorry! I just took out extra padding in her carseat and moved her into a stroller that reclined instead of the snap n go, and let her spend more time on the floor. I have no idea if these things worked because of whatever was making her arch or just because she had separate issues with her carseat etc. good luck! It'll end, at least by when she can sit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wont-sitarches-back-help#post-846382 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 21:20:54 +0000 autumnlove 846382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M does this already! Ahhhhhhh, I just wait until the arching stops and I quickly strap her in. :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wont-sitarches-back-help#post-846349 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 21:04:20 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 846349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: true statements! I got nothing then except for keep doing what you are doing. Sorry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wont-sitarches-back-help#post-846332 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 21:00:27 +0000 shopaholic 846332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: that is how I survive much of the day but it's not possible when I have to drive somewhere and she doesn't like being worn if I am just sitting (Ie trying to eat). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wont-sitarches-back-help#post-846320 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 20:57:35 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 846320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Try baby wearing. Our kids hated being set down, but loved baby wearing, which allowed me to still do work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wont-sitarches-back-help#post-846304 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 20:52:05 +0000 Smurfette 846304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: She doesn't do it every time. This morning when we got to day care, I put her in a bouncy and she was fine. It just depends on her mood. Which is all over the place these days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wont-sitarches-back-help#post-846289 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 20:47:56 +0000 shopaholic 846289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: yeah the only safe place is her activity mat or crib now. But R doesn't mind being buckled in? K gets so mad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wont-sitarches-back-help#post-846283 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 20:46:21 +0000 Smurfette 846283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>R has been doing it some too. Even if we prop her in the boppy, she arches till she is flat on the surface and not propped up. I am starting to buckle her into everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wont-sitarches-back-help#post-846273 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 20:44:26 +0000 shopaholic 846273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: omg have you seem the IG pics w/ our carseat? She has more toys than anyone! Lol! Not hungry. Not diaper. She just wants to be upright and see the world! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wont-sitarches-back-help#post-846257 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 20:40:17 +0000 photojane 846257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sadie started doing that around the same time, although she's only ever done it when she's hungry. She gets pissed when she's hungry! I don't know what to do to make it stop for K, since feeding S works for me. Maybe she needs some sort of distraction...? A toy to play with or something to entertain her while she's sitting? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wont-sitarches-back-help#post-846253 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 20:39:15 +0000 rawrasaur 846253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh! We didn't have that problem with car seats or anything, A just does it when I hold her some way she doesn't want to be. Hopefully she doesn't keep it up for too long! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wont-sitarches-back-help#post-846208 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 20:29:48 +0000 shopaholic 846208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know if this falls under milestones, but Little Miss K is exhausting me these days since she has learned how to use her little muscles to straighten her legs and arch her back! She just turned 3 months and I wasn't expecting this so soon, but she is already trying to "pop" out of her swing and car seat. Forget the bouncy chair, she'll slide right out. And she is fighting any time I have to buckle her into any kind of seat, with this afternoon's car seat entrapment causing her to almost slide out of the seat and making her pissed! I swear she uses her feet and legs to push off the seat already! </p> <p>Please tell me this is normal, it won't last long, and how to get your baby to willingly stay in a seat? Mama is tired!</p> <p>ETA: pic </p> [attach=2730/13/mo7gen.450x600.image.jpg]
