Hi.
I'm really hoping that there is someone out there who can give me some advice! My baby girl is nearly 11 months but since about 5 months old she has hated going out in the pram. She can be fine for a while but then will start not just crying but screaming... and there is honestly nothing else wrong with her - except that she wants to be carried. She does have tantrums at other times during the day - like when she has to come out of the bath or if I put her down to play and she doesn't want to be put down. It's got to the point where people have made comments and one woman even said "For goodness sake look after your baby"... I was just devastated as I'm not a confident person at the best of times. Often I will give in and carry her but it is getting increasingly difficult to do that as she is getting heavier and heavier!! I also think that she should learn to behave when she's in her pram... but people look at me as if I'm a terrible mother. I always make sure that she has toys to play with in the pram, as well as snacks and a beaker of water so I know it's not for lack of stimulation or hunger... am just worrying that I'm creating a madam.
Can anyone help???
