baby in backpack age image
cyberjazz
My 1 month baby boy sleeps less than normal. When he's awake, he moves his hands and legs, and always kicks his blanket off. He cries, yells, and moves vigorously when sensing light contacts. I always wait until he wakes up (not very long) to move him to another place, otherwise he yells out. He can already lift his head up when lying on his stomach, and tries to flip. Some references point that this is an active-type baby.
I wonder what will this type of baby be good at, later on during teens and adulthood? Sports? Being sociable? What kind of treatments that would stimulate the baby (or later on toddler) to sharpen his strength?
Answer
Yes, I know what you mean.
My daughter was like that, always in motion. I made sure to tire her out pretty well before nap and bedtimes to make sure she got enough solid hours of sleep.
Otherwise, she was a great kid to have around. I put her in a front pack facing outward until she was too big to carry like that, and then in a backpack peeking over my shoulder.
She loved being with me as I cooked, rolled out dough, ironed, worked in the garden, etc. and I wasn't spastic worried that she was going to kill herself because she could climb out of anything (crib, playpen, whatever) from four or five months old and up.
She swam like a fish from a very young age, enjoyed ballet from age 3, and ran triathalons (swim, bicycle, run) untill age 12, when she took up field hockey and tennis.
She's grown now, but goes rock climbing, still dances professionally sometimes, and is in med school, which is physically gruelling along with the mental side.
Just try to get the training in with him BEFORE he goes off recklessly--I had her in swim lessons before she could walk, taught her to drive at age 12 with LOTS of rules to make sure she'd be well in control of a vehicle before that superactive body of hers took over.
I think it paid off because she seeks out the 'proper' way to do things and takes lessons before going into frantic activity . . . LOL.

Are you nervous about taking your baby out with all the flus/colds right now?

I am a stay at home Mom, so I am a little biased because I dont have to take my baby out. But I am increasingly nervous about taking her out (she is 4 months old) because of how many people are getting sick.
Do you keep your baby home because of illnesses, or do you still take him/her out?
Answer
No, i do not take my baby out during cold/flu season, with the exception of doctors appointments, visiting family that we know have no illnesses and the occasional walk around our neighbourhood. I do not feel it is necessary to expose my child to high populated areas (malls, stores, parks,etc) at such a young age (he is 3 months) and risk him getting ill, he is not missing out on anything by not going out! I also have a school aged daughter so have enough to worry about with concerns to what she can pick up at school and bring home!! We do our best to prevent illness through vaccinating both my children and using lots of hand sanitizer, my daughter has some in her locker at school and attached to her backpack as well as we have it readily available in our home! Yes, children will get sick it is natural and common but as a parent i feel i can at least do my best to prevent it!
