Baby Carrier/Slings Recommendations

I' looking into purchasing either a baby carrier or a sling for a 4 month old. He's classified as a "high needs baby" (according to Dr. Sears) and needs to be held and kept in motion most of the time. Up until now I was holding out hope that this phase was going to pass. Now I have accepted the fact that I will need to hold him for some time yet. I currently have a Snugli but feel it isn't supportive enough. I usually hold it w/ my arm as well. Since spring is around the corner (or so I hope) I'll need another carrier or sling that is...

I have a 9 weeks old baby who is fine when I am holding him but the second I set him down he screams out. He cries so hard until I pick him up and he is fine.

Sleep Deprived baby....and Mom

I posted a while back about my 3 month old waking up periodically in the night. It's been over 2 weeks now and she's still not sleeping much, maybe 3-4 hours at a time and only 45-1 hour during the day. I know she is super tired! She does have reflux and she is on Prevacid and we just started 1tbs. of rice cereal in her bottle 2x per day. I bought a wedge today for her bed to see if that helps her get some sleep. In the meantime I cannot get any sleep. She wakes up about every 30-45 min and stiffens up her body and just frets. If I...

8 Month Old Who Constantly Cries

I have an 8 month old little boy. He constantly cries if I don't hold him or if he isn't around me. At the babysitter's house he cries for hours at a time. He usually cries himself to sleep. When I leave the room, he cries. If he is at the babysitters and I show up he starts screaming and crying for me. He will go to his father, but after a while he will cry for me. I started carrying him around the house in a snugli just to do everyday house work, so I don't have to listen to him scream and cry. I don't know how to stop this behavior....
