10 Month Wants Carried All The Time

by Elaine
(pa)

What can I do; my baby wants carried all the time and I just can't do it. If I put him down he cries and never stops until I pick him up and walk around with him. I have a 3 year old and it isn't fair to her. Help, what can I do

10 Month Wants To Be Carried All The Time
by: Baby Help Line

I believe he has a little bit of separation anxiety going on. What you can try is make sure he has plenty of toys to keep him busy for a little while. Put him in the floor and you sit closely and play with him with the toys, but do not hold him. He will probably whimper and wine wanting to be held but just say no and keep playing with him. Try this as long as you can stand it. Each day his crying spells will become shorter and he will start to play with the toys knowing you are sitting near buy. While you are playing with him involve your 3 year old. This way you can be showing attention to both. Hope things go great.
