Thanks ZacsMumme! I will try some of those suggestions. We are doing a couple of them but bet some of your other suggestions will help! My LO has come a long way  but still has a hard time with walks over 20 minutes.

Hello ladies...thought I'd jump in as my spirited DS's touchy side seems to be flaring up since about 3 months. :)

Welcome Justine :D

My LO has come a long way  but still has a hard time with walks over 20 minutes.

Ds1 was the same - 20 mins max in the stroller.  I ended up doing most walks using the baby carrier.  It wasn't until he was closer to 6-7 months that he managed longer in the stroller.

Exactly the same with us :) Zac is now 7.5 months and only in the last few weeks really he has started to chill out...I was never worried before as we have a front pack, but he is getting heavy at 9kg!!

Hang in there and just keep trying gently, dont force the stroller though or he may resist more. We still sometimes have 20mins only in the buggy...depends on the mood.

Another stroller tip...If we walk to a store I take Lyanna out as soon as we are there, so she isn't just sitting in the stroller.  She definitely likes to see what I am doing and interact with any sales people on the same level, instead of looking up at everything.  It means I have a tougher time shopping sometimes, but she's happier because she can be part of what I'm doing, and we don't have any melt downs if I'm holding her and a stranger starts talking to her :)  At the mall, I usually have DH with me so when we stop in a store whoever isn't shopping at that store takes her out to look around.  On walks I will take her out if she fusses and hold her, she likes to help push the stroller, lol.

Lyanna has finally cut her next tooth, but it's the lateral upper incisor, not the central ones...So it looks like we are in for a long teething spell since she really should be getting her central incisors around this time...I really wish touchy babies were better teethers!

Does your lo like wearing a hat?  It's really hot here and there's no way I can go for a short walk with him in the sling without a hat on.  He's not very keen on it though.  He seems to hate anything that touches his head really. Even dressing/ undressing him is a nightmare!

Charmie, do you live in my house?

I know, mine is the same, but one can one do? He got used to the hat eventually, still dislikes getting dressed...

The only hat we've had luck with is one with a string that snaps under the chin...eventually she just got tired of trying to take it off :)  I try to use it only when we are in direct sun so she doesn't have to wear it too often.

Isaac is okay with a hat (we still put one on him every nap time to cover his eyes) but he's just recently started to hate getting dressed. Cries every time. especially with those nighties that have elastic at the bottom...I'm about to just give up on those.

Oh my...we used to have hell getting anything over Zacs head too - esp tops with the dome up bottoms. I can say he has outgrown it though so there is hope ladies :D

Ds takes aids to settled to sleep esp at bt when he can take hrs. He does at least one nap independently and we dont ap so i know he can do it. It is worse when he is ot but  am wondering how much is his touchy side that he sleeps then wakes a short which later. Any tips to help him would b appreciated.
