My baby is now 6 and a half months. Every time I dress her, she screams when I try to put her arms through her sleeves. Clothes that you need to pull over her head are worse (like vests), because you have to pull her arm upwards to get through the sleeve. She has been doing this since when she was only a few weeks /days old (sorry, can't remember, but very early on). I try to distract her, giving her a toy, singing songs, rhymes or making a game out of it. But to no avail. She screams and goes all red in the face and makes her arms completely stiff, making it a real battle. Does anyone have advice on how to make this easier for everyone? Will she outgrow it eventually, or does it just get worse as they become toddlers?
