Will My Child Ever Like Her Pushchair?

amomentwithfranca · 30 June 2015 · 10 Comments

Have you ever been in a situation where you can’t do anything to make your baby happy in the pushchair? Honestly, am I the only mum that struggled for almost 7 or even 8 months to make her baby happy in the pushchair?

Puschchair Post - Final 2

This has been a long journey for us but let me tell you there is one day that suddenly everything changes and your baby will start liking it. We bought all the accessories that you could imagine in order for Sienna to be happy there. I was always experimenting new ideas to achieve this – I did everything, bought a sheepskin liner to maintain her temperature, bought the special footmuff for the Bugaboo Bee, changed canopies, had the cocoon when she was born, changed the position to face forwards (when she was old enough) so she can see more, etc, etc. Nothing ever worked for me, she just always hated it. 

I thought I was going to end up having a beautiful pushchair just for decoration! It wasn’t like this when I had Bella, she liked her pushchair since the beginning. It just shows you that every child is completely different!

The possibility that Sienna would have a nap in the pushchair was always very little! My mother-in-law used to say that I should take her out for a walk in the pushchair every day so she will just get used to it. However, it was just so painful to hear her shouting and screaming loudly every time that I attempted to put her there. I just couldn’t leave her there for long!

I would always pray for her to wake up one day and finally like it. Guess what? My prayers were finally answered! Sienna just grew up, gained a better posture and just started to enjoy the view! 

This post is for all those parents that are suffering with the same unhappy baby who hates his/her pushchair. Just be patient, it is just a phase and your baby will come out of it. Some babies, or maybe let’s say “most babies” are happier to be pushed all the time and love to fall asleep in their pushchair but there are some, like mine, who won’t have it at all! This will eventually change and the only thing I can’t tell you is exactly when that moment will come, I can just tell you that it will happen eventually. 

Puschchair Post - Final 3

For those experiencing this, I hope this post has given you some hope. There is a light at the end of the tunnel and to let you know that you are not alone. Things are tough sometimes but they will get better.

Do you also have a child that hates their pushchair like mine? Leave me a comment with your story, I’d love to hear it.

Thanks for stopping by,

Love you all ❤️

Franca  💋

    Interesting! I would have given up long before you. I definitely believe that children, like adults, have preferences and sometimes, it’s worth honouring them. That said, with twins, not using a pushchair was simply not an option, so mine had to deal with it even if they didn’t want to! Thanks for linking with #TwinklyTuesday.

    Such cute smiles! Both the boys hated their pushchairs. They always seek ed independence rather than confinement. #bestandworst #bigfatlinky

    Oh no 🙁 Well my son didn’t mind it until he could walk…once he could walk that was it he would not go in the pushchair! My daughter seems quite happy in it but doesn’t sleep in it much at all! Thanks for linking up to the #bestandworst and hope to see you next week 🙂 xxx

✨Breakfast✨.Nothing like a healthy filling b ✨Breakfast✨.Nothing like a healthy filling breakfast, right? I have been trying to keep eating a good breakfast every morning to help me with my low iron! .Most days I have branflakes and sometimes weetabix but Fridays to Sundays, I make a little effort and prepare overnight oats. I love them! They are so tasty and leave me satisfy for hours which means not craving for snacks until lunch time! Win win 😀.I prepare the oats with chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla extract, honey and leave it overnight. In the morning, I serve it with strawberries, blueberries, banana and honey. It is so good! 😋 I vary the fruit that I put in but everything else is the same..What do you like eating for breakfast?.#overnightoats #oatsforbreakfast #easybreakfast #simplebreakfast #togobreakfast #quickbreakfast #breakfastideas #healthybreakfastideas #breakfastinspo #breakfastbowl #breakfastgoals #breakfastlover #oatmealbowl #breakfastclub #oatmealbowl
✨Teacher’s Strike Day✨.Happy hump day! So ✨Teacher’s Strike Day✨.Happy hump day! So we have our first teacher’s strike day today which means no school and learning from home..Bella is doing her school work via Google classroom so she will follow her normal school day that way and Sienna doesn’t have a structured day from school today so she should have a day off but we have agreed for her to do some work too, so she will be reading, practicing for her spelling test and doing some maths. This way we can all have a productive day 😉, well hopefully! 😬. Have you been affected by the strike today? What are your plans? .#sistertime #sisterlylove #sistersgoals #sisterhood #hermanas #sistersforever #sistersforlife #sisterslove #siblingslove #lovemydaughters #raisingdaughters #mydaughters #westfield #westfieldlondon #londonkids
✨Happy Friday✨.Did you have a good week? Unf ✨Happy Friday✨.Did you have a good week? Unfortunately, it wasn’t that good for us because the girls have been under the weather. Bella started first with a sore throat and high fever for a few days and then when Bella got better, Sienna started! She got a horrible cough but no temperature. Her cough was that bad that she couldn’t sleep very well for a couple of nights. They are both much better now and back to school.. The weather hasn’t helped either. It has been so cold lately! I literally feel frozen all the time. Thankfully it is looking better atm as the temperatures are starting to rise. I decided to get my flu vaccine, so I hope it protects me from all these viruses that are going around! Have you had the flu vaccine too? .On another note, I went yesterday to a parents meeting about GCSE options for Bella. I can’t believe she needs to think about it already ahead of Year 9. The time really goes fast. Are your kids dealing with GCSEs too?.📸 Sharing this beautiful bouquet of flowers from @freddiesflowers to brighten up our day.#flowerarrangement #flowerdelivery #bouquetofflowers #flowersmakemehappy #loveflowers #flowersoftheday #flowersoftheweek #flowerlover #freshflowers #flowerobsession #bunchofflowers #foreverflowers #flowersofinstagram #homesweethome
