[quote=Anonymous]Just because your baby wants to be held all the time doesn't mean you have to. He NEEDS to be put down sometimes. It is important for him developing muscles and motor skills and learning to self soothe. That doesn't mean let him scream all day ignored in a swing, but Yes you can put him in a his crib or bouncer and take a shower or fold a load of clothes. He will be fine. I get it- it is like nails on a chalkboard to hear your baby cry, but holding him 24/7 is not good for either of you. And there are plenty of babies who scream even when held- so at least you have that respite. Glad DH is doing more but by the time you go back to work things should have improved. They start to enjoy kicking in their bouncer or those FP rainforest contractions, and play gyms. [/quote]
