I’ll start by saying I’ve barely left the house since my son was born. He’s now 12 weeks and it’s worse. I’ve got a gorgeous silver cross wayfarer and every time he goes in it, awake or fast asleep, he’ll be steaming within one minute. He’s got lots of toys, a snooze shade, I’ve taken the apron off (and tried with it on), he has a fan for when it’s too hot etc and he will not have it. He also cries in his car seat. I’ve got a sling for him which is a godsend but I’m disabled and I really really can’t walk far with him now, plus we both get too hot. I’ve had to ask other people to get my eldest from school which is a five minute walk because I literally cannot get this baby out of the house. I’m sick of walking down the road with a screaming pram and not having actually got very far.
Yesterday I tried for an hour to get him happy and settled in his pram before I gave up and cried. Actually cried. He’s the only baby I’ve ever known who hates being in a pram or car seat. I know it sounds stupid to get upset about but it is the only aspect that I’m struggling with, and I’m so fatigued and in agony from using the sling if at all.
Another thing is that he’s the size of the carry cot now and loves to kick about but he can’t because he gets squished. But the seat isn’t suitable til 6 months! I know he’d love it though because he’s nosy and has great head and neck control.
