So I'm having abit of a hard time with my beautiful DS. He's amazing and smiley and happy at home, super super chill and like the most easy baby ever. He however is extremely unhappy ANYWHERE ELSE. we go out alot as we have a 2 year old who loves being out and he hates it every time and whinges and cries and stays on my boob the entire time. The minute we get home, even if he's tired hungry etc the smiley baby is back. Can't even go to my Parents or PILS to relax

Bump. Really desperate for advice

I’d think the best thing to do is to keep going out so he gets used to it! Maybe take a toy that you know he likes to play with at home so it’s more fun for him and something he recognises.
Do you have him in a pram or a sling? I remember my son hated the pram at around this age so we’d put him in the sling instead. Once he was old enough to sit up in the pram he was much happier being out.

@Row23 thank you for the suggestions!! He cries in the sling. He looks around, realises it's not home and the bottom lip purses out haha, but you're very right it will get better with time I hope!

If the 2 year old likes going out, do you go to any groups? You might find he’s distracted more at a playgroup for instance where there might be other babies.

And if he’s feeding the whole time you’re out, could you introduce a dummy?
