Trouble Travelling in the Pram

[suse]

Hi Krissie!

Have you tried him in a sling or carrier? My DS gets pretty stroppy after only a short time in the pram and I find that he settles almost straight away when I put him in the sling (to the point where I don't even bother taking the pram out most of the time). Some babies just like being close to mum, especially when exposed to the outside world!

It sounds like he is finding the movement comforting - do you jiggle or rock the pram when you stop moving? That might help!

If you are in shopping centres, some babies find the overhead lights overstimulating, if he gets upset when you are shopping, perhaps try a muslin over the pram or putting the visor down so that he can't see the lights.

Good luck - I hope you find a solution that works for you and your little boy - it can be frustrating if you feel like you are stuck at home!

Believe me persistance is the key. DOn't stop putting him in it otherwise it may be hard later. I would try putting him in the pram inside your house when he is normally in the bouncer or on the floor(not all the time maybe once a day for a few days). He might find it more comfortable being in a familiar environment and he may get used to it. I also found wriggling the pram a little when stopped worked.HTH
