My little boy sounds JUST like what some of you describe!!! He only goes to sleep by being bounced in his hammock, he likes the motion of being carried around all the time, won't sit still for longer than 5 minutes at a time... and now he has decided he only wants to feed when I'm walking around!!! It drives me crazy!!!!! But I must say the non stop crying days slowed down after 3 months old (he is almost 4 months) thankfully. Good on you "ohnoauntflo" for weaning your little one off the gym ball! I am so scared for the day my baby grows out of the hammock, and I totally understand how you felt with not being able to put them to sleep any other way anywhere else besides home (I'm still going through that now). It's also the feeding walking around only that is killing me! Any advice would be great from anyone... but I just want to say congratz for working your issues out!
And it's really comforting knowing that there's other Mummies out there going through what I am going through, that I am not alone with a baby that has such high needs and demands so much attention. I too do the best I can and I am always responding to his needs straight away. My baby still feeds every 1.5 - 2 hours - yes a very hungry healthy boy, and as demanding as that is (fully breastfeeding) I wouldn't question feeding him on demand and do it for him. They say breastfed babies only have what they need, that they can't overfeed. Besides his high needs, my boy is very very happy, healthy and thriving, thank god
