clingy 15 week old

[lullabyblue]

Just the past week or so my DS has decided that he doesn't want to play on his tummy or his back in his playgym anymore- it is much more fun being in mum's arms!
If I put him down- he's ok for maybe 5 minutes and then starts to grizzle. Even when I went shopping on the weekend, he didn't want to be in his pram- wanted me to carry him!

& this morning I propped him up on a pillow on the bed while I was folding laundry. I was talking to him about all the colours, & letting him feel the textures. He wasn't happy until I picked him up- then happy as can be!!!!

I feel that maybe he is frustrated as he is not mobile yet but super curious to be up where all the action is????

I don't mind so much as at least I am making use of my hugabub and baby bjorn- but do you know it is actually quite difficult to stuff pocket nappies with a wriggly bub strapped to your front?????

anyone else had this & how long can I expect it to stick around for?

thanks!

Not sure, but my bub is only a week younger than yours and is exactly the same at the moment.
They are so small and precious for such a short time I'm trying to appreciate it - but I know how trying that is!
The last three days I don't think I've had five useful seconds to myself. It's either boob or cuddles, and maybe a ten minute nap in the bassinet - still not long enough for me to feel assured that I can duck off for a shower and be back before he screams!
Totally understand you on the stuffing nappies, hanging washing, vaccuming, scrubbing floors thing... Maybe tomorrow will be better. *rolls eyes*

I actually love having him so close and snug with me- & he just loves being carried so like you said, I am trying to appreciate it while it lasts as he is only small for such a short time. I actually wish I had carried him more often when he was a newborn!
But wondering- how will he learn to roll/sit etc if I carry him all the time!!!!!!
