Baby Crying For Attention

Good advice thanks for sharing

With my son i use to put him in his walker and lock the wheels as i did housework, i would move him around from room to room with me. If i needed to go into another room but didnt take my son with me i would sing to him so that he could still hear me, even when he couldnt see me.
I like the Highchair idea in the kitchen, I think this would be good.

I don't know if I agree with that. I would always go to my daughter whenever she cried, as I'm sure all first time moms do when they hear their baby screaming at the top of their lungs. Now my daughter wanted to be held most of the time, but as soon as she started to crawl, she didnt want to be held UNLESS she was real cranky and wouldn't fall asleep herself or she just wanted to be up.

Also what I did if she really wanted me and I had to do something like dish's or cook dinner I would put her in her high chair or swinging chair and put it where I would be that way she could see what i was doing. That way you don't have to deal with a screaming baby and neighbours wondering what's going on. That helped me and i would tell any mom out there that are having this problem the exact same thing to see if it would work for them.

I think it is important to note that everyone has a different take on this issue.  Can a child REALLY be spoiled before 6mos?  I tend to think not.  My daughter is often like this in the AM while I am trying to get ready for work.  She is 5mos and does well most of the time with entertaining herself but when she is first waking up early she can be like a growth, she wants to be constantly attached.  Obviously I can not have her on my hip in the shower or blow drying my hair so our typical schedule goes something like - 6a I am up and eat breakfast, 6:30a Colleen wakes up and nurses while I catch the morning news, 6:45-7a I get a shower while Colleen lays on a blanket on the bathroom floor with the dog (whom she LOVES) and we sing (sometimes she realizes I am not paying a whole lot of attention to her and fusses or screams) 7-7:15a Colleen lays on the bed with the dog and her goose while I get dressed,  7:15-7:30a Colleen eats cereal and then nurses while I put on my make-up, 7:30-7:45a if Colleen isn't asleep she plays in her Johnny Jump-Up in the kitchen door while I get her bottles and milk ready for the day.  Now, during the times I am not paying attention to her she does get demanding sometimes but she knows I am near.  I feel that it is important she knows she can trust that when she is in need of something he Momma will provide for her, even if it is just attention.  Basically, you have to do what feels right for you and your baby. 

Have faith, he will learn to entertain himself.
