emi (991.4 days ago) Probably just a phase.. get a sling to have your hands free and help him feel secure in his enviroment. Good luck.. hopefully it will pass.
butterblocksmom (991.7 days ago) Do you own a sling? That may help!
tylersmommy54 (991.7 days ago) i love holding and cuddling him its just that lately it seems like its never enough for him, if he had it his way he would live in my arms lol
butterblocksmom (991.7 days ago) JJ started to have much more `awake time` at 3 months and therefore was more `expressive` with what he wanted, when he wanted, at that time. I think it is fairly normal...and remember EVERYTHING is a phase. It may feel like it is going to last forever, but it eventually gets better...usually when you think you can`t stand it any longer!!!! Also he may be experiencing what many refer to as `the witching hour`. Does he get REALLY fussy and unbearable in the evening hours (between 3 and 10 pm) for no apparent reason (not hunger, not tired, not hot, not cold, just cranky, fussy and freaking out)? If so he is probably trying to deal with all the stimuli he has experienced all day long and blowing off some steam. Some babies need space during this, and other babies need extra cuddling....lowered lights, less noise, less stimulation....eventually, it gets better `)
