I think I've created a monster...

My lo never wants to be put down! I try the swing, play mat, bumbo, highchair.... and she just cant' figure out how to 'entertain' herself. I feel like I'm to blame because I've always jumped at her every squeak.  She fusses, and whines whenever I put her somewhere...Do you experience this? And do you let them 'fuss it out' for a bit before scooping them up?!

    Sometimes DS fusses/cries when i put him in the swing.  When this happens, I stand right in front of it and sing and dance for a minute or which calms him down a bit.  Then I'll guve him a stuffed animal to play with and walk away.  This often works for me.

    When he cries as I put him on the activity mat, I've started to notice that it's usually because he's tired and wants to nap.  Then I rock him to sleep  (which I know may be creating another problem but I'm not ready to tackle that just yet) and lay him in his crib ir put him in his swing,

    I'm realizing that DD doesn't like to be held by other people. She is becoming a mommy's girl. Oops!

    I may be creating a similar monster.  I let my brother hold DS, but he started fussing within a few minutes.  He calmed down as soon as he was handed back to me.  I need to start letting other people hold him more before it's too late. >.<;

    K's ok with being put down for a short while but she will start fussing after a few minutes.  Depending on what I'm doing I'll either pick or up or let her fuss for awhile.  If I picked her up every time she fussed I'd never had time to use the bathroom or eat.  I'm noticing now that if I let her fuss for a few minutes she'll calm down a bit and give me a minute or two of quiet before starting up again.

    DS will be happy being put down if he's still near me/DH & being included. Bouncy seat in the bathroom while I shower & talk to him, highchair in the kitchen where he can watch while we cook. Tummy time while we sit next to him & play.

    Ditto to all of the above.

    DD is very similar to this. If we are near her and she can see us, she is generally pretty happy. It can be frustrating, but I still melt every time I come into view and she laughs or smiles at me. :)
