Carrying the growing baby becomes difficult. Here are tips for handling babies who cry to be held and toddlers who want to be carried.

Carrying the Growing Baby

It's a big problem for parents if their toddler, who has learnt to walk, insists for being held and carried by them. It is more irritating to see that the child refuses to walk with a moving adult, yet runs happily around a seated person. Though such behavior may give the impression of laziness or defiance, it's rarely anything of the kind. Early walking in toddlers isn't about reaching from point A to point B, but usually a pattern of going and coming to an adult base. If the base moves, the pattern is disturbed and the child may plop himself down on the ground and growl. If you're moving slowly, the baby won't follow as he can't. In case you go back and hold his hand, the baby might walk a few steps, but couldn't maintain that pace of walking beside you. Parents must understand that there could be some reasons as why toddlers want to be carried by parents.
