Activity Time Is No Fun!
« on: October 06, 2007, 21:47:16 pm »
We have been trying to get our 11 week old daughter going on the EASY method.  The problem is that she seems to despise activity time.  She often cries through most of it.  I have tried everything.  I thought she might be overstimulated, so we tried quiet activities.  No such luck there either.  Why is she so unhappy?

Several possible questions:  first, what is your routine?

How long has this unusual crying been going on? Is it only during Activity time, or does she fuss/cry during feeding, naptime, etc.?

Does she seem to be in pain or ill? Has she got a fever?  Is she waking in the night?

How is she eating?  Are you sure she's satisfied?  How is she sleeping?  Could she be overtired?

Is she showing any signs of reflux?  Does she cry more/less in certain positions?  For example: while being held upright, while on tummy, while being rocked, while in stroller/pushchair?

Sorry to overwhelm, but this info will help people come up with ideas.
