If I don't keep both hands on him at all times while carrying, oh boy would the results be disastrous! The baby sling helps some with that. If he gets really squirmy a single hand can prevent disaster, rather than needing both hands.Inarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09640614599585713686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3603680407341725208.post-64030755139900709792013-02-24T14:20:02.223-08:002013-02-24T14:20:02.223-08:00Thank you, Anna.

I will definitely continue writing along the way.<br /><br />I've very recently been delving into the world of baby-wearing, so that I can at least have use of my hands now and then. It's been going well thus far, though I still spend about nine hours a day with baby alone.<br /><br />Jude loves when I sit with him and practice ASL. TV is more of a passing distraction for him, I don't think he understands how the people got into the box. Haha.<br /><br />I look forward to hearing from you as you experiment with little Ellinor. I will certainly share any tips or tricks I discover!Inarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09640614599585713686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3603680407341725208.post-45981799302812811042013-02-24T13:25:30.269-08:002013-02-24T13:25:30.269-08:00Hey, you write really well on an interesting subje...Hey, you write really well on an interesting subject (for me at least). Thank you for sharing. :-)<br /><br />Sounds like your Jude is very like my daughter Ellinor. Only that she has to develop her patience a lot earlier because she's competing for my attention with her two older brothers.<br /><br />For instance Ellinor has the same initial minute of protests/dislike whenever status-quo changes, especially when I lay her down on her back in the baby-sitter. She's also happiest when lugged around although she's really difficult to carry since she doesn't want to lie down and she's really strong so when held upright I must support her back and head or she might 'spring outwards' (not good).<br /><br />I find that just putting her down next to me on her back in the lounge - facing me with her feet towards the backrest of the lounge - is a good position for a temporary rest. She doesn't particularly enjoy looking at the telly, she's happier looking at me. <br />On a few occasions she's been surprisingly happy looking at the boys and the telly when they watch children's programs (leaving me free to fix dinner etc etc).<br /><br />But I basically have the same problem as you, Ellinor need a lot of attention and I find "face time" is what she likes the best - then being cradled when she's tired (falling asleep in our arms).<br /><br />I'm happy to share any tricks I learn along the way - but as of now I'm struggling. I will be reading your blog with great interest to see what you learn as your boy grows. :-)<br /><br />Again, thanks for a nice blog.<br />Cheers,<br />Annaen annanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165740292994189430noreply@blogger.com
